Pattaya - Tourists at Pattaya Beach are worried about trash scattered along the entire stretch of the beach, raising questions about its source.


Local media reported on October 23rd that many tourists at Pattaya Beach were seeing numerous pieces of trash floating in the sea and littered across the beach. The garbage includes cigarette butts, plastic bags, water bottles, foam containers, and styrofoam boxes.

 

This debris has accumulated along the entire stretch of Pattaya Beach, with no one knowing where it came from. In some areas, there are significant piles of cigarette butts lining the shore.

 

Local residents are urging the city to investigate the matter, as Pattaya Beach is one of the main attractions in Pattaya City.

I think the ones who mentions Pattaya, beaches and world class image together really needs to get out more. Could benefit of travelling abroad for a vacation once or twice a year. Would be a fantastic eye opener. There is is absolutely nothing regarding Pattaya beaches that lives up to a world class image. Below we have world class.

The old saying: "One can't make strawberry jam out of horse sh**" applies to Pattaya....it's dump whichever way it is portrayed...!

It has the highest percentage of farangs and the most amount of trash and litter per sqm in Thailand.

You would like it would be the other way around.

 

Anutin would not be surprised.

 

I call on all Pattaya farangs get your ass of the barstools for a couple of hours and give the place a tidy up.

You are a disgrace.

I don’t think those who say that are serious mate.

It is just a bit of a wind up joke. Seems like it has gone over your head a bit?

 

That said, parts of Pattaya Beach are stunningly beautiful. My favorite spot would be upstairs at Baccara, nice comfy chairs, air conditioned, draft beer and a lot of topless and nude sun bathing, petite women.
I can’t think of a beach better than that that I have been to.

 

Have you been there?

Stormy weather brings the flotsam, same "rubbish" tale each year all over the world. Non Pattaya folk and point scorers jump with glee. Suprise me, resist the next time it rains!

I agree but not much sand to be seen. 

 

I don't understand why anyone would want to sit downstairs.

No, I have not been in any such place as you are describing. However, it had nothing to do with the quality of the beach. If nude and topless women are walking around, they would be considered beautiful by males almost anywhere.

The beach is not world class and never has been.  It's dirty, the water is disgusting and uninviting. 

The source of the rubbish coming into shore I am guessing storm water outlets and insufficient sewer treatment plants.

 

Farang bashing as the cause is also short-sighted.  Sure, tourists and expats (farangs) are a contributing cause to the cigarette butts (dirty filthy selfish habit) dropped in the sand, but Thais also flock to the beach and drop rubbish there and from what I have seen, dump a hell of a lot more rubbish than farangs.  Most farangs come from countries where we have mostly been taught to clean up after ourselves and not spoil the environment. Of course there are always a$$h***s that don't care.   Dropping butts on the street and paths as well means they all end up washed into the sea.  I curse people who do it.

Nope... YOU are the disgrace - blaming 'farangs' for the litter on Thailand's beaches....

 

Your 'anti-Westerner' rhetoric continues in a pathetic manner.

Indeed... 

 

Or, blame a couple of Indians (netizen outrage) for throwing a couple of bottles into the sea.

 

Take a look at the photo's of Bang Saen beach....  it used to be notorious for the hoards of plastic litter that drifts there from all the beach restaurants & fishing boats....

Noticed that a Phuket beach is #23. However, their emphasis is on isolated beaches untouched by general tourists. At least it has given me a few ideas for a holiday abroad!
