Pattaya helping Na Jomtien with handling wastewater is like Milošević leading an interfaith worship seminar

 

I was thinking something along the lines of.... the garbarge dump calling the sewer black....

GODDAMMIT! I just got the ฿800k transferred for the retirement. Now I am SERIOUSLY looking at another country. This is the final straw.

I cannot blame!!  Honestly, excellent decision that took genius, awareness, and a giant pair of NUTZ to do it.

As you can see in the picture no one can know where this water come from.

Well, does it matter where it is coming from ? It's there and will always come back. Guaranteed.

I don't think I would be bursting anyones bubble saying that Pattaya is a cesspit with crooked officials and corrupt authorities! Why don't we just call it for what it is? How would you answer these questions. Would you bring your family to Pattaya on holiday? Would you allow them to swim in the sea? Would you allow them to go on a speedboat trip or rent a jetski? Do you trust the food (Ref pesticides banned in almost all other countries still being used in Thailand at high concentrations)

 

I love Pattaya and have been here perhaps 15 times. I don't have any intention of stopping but lets not kid anyone trying to say this is a family destination. The mongers who come to Pattaya are generally not interested in swimming unless its in a barrel of beer. (Me included)

"The Pattaya Municipality has forbidden tourists from swimming in the polluted water. Some tourists remained defiant and plunged into the polluted sea anyway."

 

As my dear old mum says, "You can't teach pork."

Yes you can't educate pork only cure it ….

Worth considering, after 15 years in Phuket I have moved away, not the beautiful place it was beaches not to bad "at the moment" but everything over double the price, road carnage increasing, and check points 2/3 times a day every day, looking to fleece tourist's   

With Copacabana and many other condos being built Jomtien is going from disaster to disaster ! I don’t know how anyone can swim   In that water, even before ! Suicidal.

Another part of Thailand where one does not live as a herring in a barrel could be a solution ...

I can recommend Penang (Melaysia 2nd home)

Really is sad that there is no over all municipal planning. All those condos that sprang up in the last decade.  Not a single piece of infrastructure to handle the gray water, nor the toilet water

Then you also need to include a majority of Muslims, Chinese, Tsunami, 2 governments with related visa challenges and uncertainty and to not forget the expensive alcohol to mention some ... 

Pattaya is helping by taking some of the toxic water.

You don't have to swim in the sea, but you do have to breathe.

To my untrained eye, it doesn't look nearly big enough to cope with a city the size of Pattaya !
