Rimmer Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Storm dumps 20 tons of garbage on Pattaya Beach PATTAYA:--About 100 Pattaya workers collected more than 20 tons of garbage and natural debris after a Sept. 14 storm. Environment Department staffers spread out along the entirety of Pattaya Beach Sept. 15, using machinery and hand tools to collect the rubbish that both washed ashore and down from higher elevations, along with weeds, wood and hyacinth flushed to the sea from drainage canals. Head cleaner Sanya Tubtimsir said the crews worked as quickly as possible to preserve the image of the beach for tourists. With Typhoon Mungkhut expected to move inland from China and Vietnam by Thursday, more rain was expected in Pattaya. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-09-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September is the wettest month of the year in Pattaya and it always rains. The typhoon was 2500 km northeast when this storm struck Pattaya beach, and it was always going to be about 2000 km to the north, even after hitting HK. It had no effect at all on Pattaya's weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Lay down on the beach? What, where, certainly not Pattaya. When you think of all the good reasons to stay away from sea water, why would you want to expose yourself to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakename Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Why do these storms always try to destroy the image of Pattaya? I seen a guy drowning in the surf and as he took his last breath, he said, Sorry for destroying the image of Pattaya. I just love how everyone is concerned with the image of Pattaya. Even when someone robs a shop and gets caught, that is the first thing he says! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 20 tons = one lorry load. If they cleaned the beach every day I would expect a few tons, much of what was in the picture was not even man made, mainly bits if wood, the larger bits of wood may be from man made structures, but most seems to be natural occurring detritus washed into the see and deposited by a naturally occurring on-shore wind. If you want to see tons and tons of man made trash go to the beach a few days after Loi Krathong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
