He hoped that the local authorities would use this downtime wisely to make infrastructure improvements and press on with plans for the monorail that were first mooted a decade ago when he was an advisor to the city council.

 

He's an idiot dreamer if he thinks Pattaya is beautiful. It might be cleaner ( but never clean ) and quiet, but it's still the same badly designed, badly constructed and badly run <deleted> it's always been.

It was fun when it had decent night life but even that has gone.

highly selective pics, maybe not even of Pattaya, we can keep this going for at least 30 pages.

I have pictures I took myself of trash from 2019 if you would like to see them.  It's in my trash collection.

And more beautiful than before.

 

The beach road footpath was wide and shady and well maintained. Most boats in the bay were moored. The views were sensational.

 

The lovely spacious sands were lapped by water that was "clear enough" and there was no plastic waste to be seen. 

 

Yup. ????

It's still loads of fun, sorry. Can't imagine why anyone would prefer wasting away over there in the UK, but planes are leaving daily. ????

The only thing true, IMO, in that is that it is wide.

Eh? I was under the impression from all the other posts on the sub forum that tourists were not allowed into LOS.

In fact it is fairly shady now and quite pleasant, sorry.

Planes leaving LOS to the UK, where the beaches are great, uncrowded, and spotlessly clean.

Ok Mr. Ecologist: See this purple sea urchin cancer (off Tawan beach, Ko larn pier)  And you can thank the hoards of locast chinese  tourists for picking off all the starfish in the environment. Starfish are sea urchin natural predetors. And these  are not the small cudly sea urchins. These have 5 inch spikes and you had better see them first.

And then there is the back beach environment: There used to be a sandy footpath along the restaurants/shops that continued North to a wooden walkway around the point to more secluded beach environments. But both now have been hijacked by motorbike rental companies where the back beach footpath and  walkway (around point) have been paved and converted into a narrow 2 way motorbike road. Well the 20's bangkok thais sure like it when they are not photoing. And they can have it.

there were some Thai tourists and foreign residents at the weekend but during the week it was lovely and quiet.

 

In the last 15-20 years of visits this was the most beautiful he had ever seen it.

 

Thon said that everything was shut down by 9pm. The lovely spacious sands were lapped by water that was "clear enough" and there was no plastic waste to be seen. 

 

There were clearly defined smoking areas and a swimming area cordoned off was being utilised by children mostly. 

 

The beach road footpath was wide and shady and well maintained. Most boats in the bay were moored. The views were sensational.

 

Bars, tour businesses and markets were shuttered and there were just a few hawkers - the Thai tourists had little to buy.

 

In the city itself there were noticeably fewer song thaews (baht buses) and motorcycle taxis, less noise from horns

then he woke up!

Considering the current tourism policy, it may very well stay that clean (and quiet) for the next twenty years...

Ecoloy update: This is the very NW area of Ko Larn and never had chinese masses. Unlike Tawan beach that has sea urchin population explosion because chinese took all the starfish (sea urchin natural predetors. There are  no sea urchins in this ares at all. * not bad for 45 min from Pattaya.
