Video: Thais blaming tourists for messing up Pattaya with unsightly stickers

 

 

Pattaya Update News said that they had received numerous complaints from irate Thais who are furious with Chinese and Vietnamese tourists for sullying a famous Pattaya temple landmark.

 

The Asian tourists have been pasting stickers used to identify numbers and tour groups at the temple of Wat Nong Yai in Bang Lamung.

 

Trees, pillars, walls, vegetation and the religious buildings themselves are covered in the little round white stickers that are hard to remove.

 

The Chinese and Vietnamese stick them there for luck but the Thais think it is disrespectful and dirty ruining an important religious site for local people.

 

They want the authorities to act against what they see as vandalism. 

 

A Chinese tour guide said on the Pattaya Update News Facebook page that they have warned tourists not to do it but they take no notice.

And the horrible posters plastered all over Pattaya advertising Mixx. Cosy Beach Rd is a rubbish dump as is the beach. Mixx should be prosecuted for illegal fly posting.

Please include more rubbish bins with frequent collections.  City council,  please buy the trucks and bins and hire and train people.

Let's not worry.about sticker problem for now.

Oh..also advertising campaign and fining.

pot and kettle comes to mind here

but the Thais think it is disrespectful and dirty ruining an important religious site for local people a money maker for the abbot.

They choke the sea with plastic, create smog in breath taking (yes) amounts, take everything with a pulse from the oceans, treat their roads as killing fields, and complain about.....  paper f___ing stickers!

... and today's topic is about "priorities"

 

Meanwhile in a Soi near you..........

  

The current Thai attitude is so HYPOCRITICAL , as they with gay abandon litter and destroy anywhere they go, as their attitude IT IS NOT MY LAND always quoted and often used. 

Ahhhh, as always!!! "Thainess" at its very core. Blame Everyone but yourself 

 There I can not agree with all these comments in bad faith

The problem of garbage in Thailand is not a reason to laugh about those stickers by thousands like that and paste absolutely every.

It is crazy. And if we follow most of you in your reasoning under the pretext of the garbage problem everywhere, those stickers everywhere included inside the temple are funny and the Thai

should better shut up and clean their country first. 

For some you are really champions of bad faith ... OK on Thai Visa it's not new, I probably would have done better to close my mouth because it will not change anything

I am sure there are bigger and uglier things in Pattaya than these little stickers .

 

Comes to mind . Remember many many years ago in England and a similar ploblem.

' Bill stickers will be prosecuted '     I wonder what became of poor old bill.

Right and now it's time to make a video with all the trash that the Thai are throwing everywhere and then send it to Pattaya update news and saying the a lot of irritate foreigners are furious at the Thai for fill it in yourself. Thai people have to stop blaming the others, they them self are to biggest polluters here.

That is never going to happen. A Thai take responsibility for their actions no way

Sticky garbage - good idea now the floor and the sea are full we can start on the walls.

OK, the stickers are a problem, but its weak beer compared to the larger the heaps of trash that is thrown about all over Thailand.  TAT will spend millions on slick advertising to promote Thailand.  Wouldn't that money be better spent on simply cleaning up the trash?

 

Remember the Swiss girls that started cleaning up trash on Koh Samui?  Others started joined in when they saw foreigners addressing a Thai problem.  Maybe other foreigners should start doing the same.  And make sure the locals see you cleaning up their trash.  Never underestimate the importance of face here, and this will be an issue of face if foreigners are seen (social media) cleaning up local trash.

They need to import the good quality peelable ones from China.

Next to milking money out of them, that seems to be the only reason to let them in.

My thought's exactly... "stickers V walking street trash"... it's a close call !!!!

Thailand will be a paradise without tourists so Thai people can mess up all the beaches sois etc without anyone complaining

 

...and I'm sure no Police Officer observes those selling the "unsightly" stickers or applying them to any vacant spaces and arrests the offenders.

 

they not like that there's no room left for the Gold Stickers

... so be it, look inward...

I suppose its better than scrawling " Somchai wuz ere " all over the place in permanent marker ink.

The stickers are easily removed, but the hard working Thais dont want to do this, they are too busy bitching about the stickers.

Sticker sticking enhancing therapy courses could be a money maker if marketed correctly .  

Immigration has my finger print. Should be able to track these sticker stickers down.

Pesky foreigners! Thailand should follow Kim Jong-un's example of limited tourism. 

Way to stop it.

Ban tour companies issuing these stickers to tourists, no stickers no problem.

Rubbish dumping is everyone's problem, it is a state of mind, don't dumps rubbish.
