Residents in Pattaya are urging authorities to take action against homeless people who allegedly throw waste and occupy abandoned venues without permission.

 

Yesterday, January 9th, local media reported seeing a group of homeless people camping at an abandoned building on South Pattaya Road in the Nongprue subdistrict of Banglamung district, Chonburi. The group was taking over a building, which used to be a convenience store that went out of business during the peak of the pandemic.

 

Discarded items such as old bedding, clothing, and garbage were left strewn around the building where a group of nomads had been sleeping and urinating, emitting a foul smell that was noticeable to pedestrians passing by, local media reported.

I think you are over stating it. Come to a west coast N American city if you want to see addicts and homeless out of control.

He is not over stating, he is describing the situation in Pattaya on the Pattaya forum. While beach cities like Santa Monica have homeless I don't think beach towns like Carmel , Newport, Laguna, La Jolla would put up with the riff raff that infest  Pattaya Beach. Fwiw I've given up on Pattaya beach and motorbike promenade. Besides the cigarette smoking low life locals, the white cigarette smoking foreign slobs Not my problem anymore. Hello Jomtien
