Shame does not exist in certain parts of Pattaya.

There should be an annual 1% water treatment tax on all properties with the proceeds placed in a “lockbox” account to be spent only for water and sewage treatment. Those found pilfering funds or providing substandard work to be thrown in the pokey for 5 years.

There would be no administration or people to do the job that doesn't get done!

I swam in that area one time about 10 years ago and was stung by lice and I will NEVER swim there again.

They don't feel shame - it's all about the money.

There is only so much shit and waste the sea can absorb ....

 

But, as Thais like to say when it doesn't affect them personally at that moment: Mai pen rai, mai me pen-ha ....

 

Who cares about tomorrow ?!

Or better still, thrown in the water.

In the Philippines they would shut this sewer down until all resorts were charged and the area cleaned up. Look at cleanup being done at Boracay. Pattaya has been a sewer for the 30+ years I lived there and always will be.

Depends on what part of the Philippines. I've gone scuba diving in Puerto Galera where you feel soiled getting in and out of the boats at the shoreline because of the raw sewage being dumped directly into the ocean. The owner of the dive shop I dove out of was trying to get a water treatment center started, not sure how much luck he's had.

any routine survey can be done cheaply and easily.  Off the shelf small drones, could fly two or three times a day and easily monitor things.  Satellite imagery is fairly cheap also but is not needed for this local issue.
