snoop1130 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 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.

The manic Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tchooptip Posted June 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2018 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 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horace Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 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.

Cake Monster Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Mercer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
