Ten years on... still no handicap toilets on Jomtien Beach

This matter only applies to handicapped people... one would think. But it could happen to you!

 

Pattaya Mail reported on this issue in 2019 and 2013.

Wheelchair users were supposed to have facilities on Jomtien Beach.

 

But nothing has happened.

 

I have published an interview with four affected travelers. 

 

This is unfortunately published in some weird Scandinavian language. But a translation is only one click away on Google.

 

I have contacted City Hall. They have been kind enough to confirm my interaction, but there is still no concurring answer.

May I ask you use the word "disabled " 

The word handicapped is offensive to Australian people 

And I agree with you by the way 

 

There are many disabled people not just the elderly that need proper facilities 

Thankyou for your service

Forget the handicapped toilets, there aren't ANY toilets on Jomtien beach.

World class.

 

Yes there is. ( not of the disabled type)

But they are pay toilets / showers on the side of some shops not local government run.

What about Pattay beach.....Also no toilets.....Remember the underground toilets anyone?

 

I would say your best bet is to find the most useful toilet from across the street for the disabled and then let everyone know.....

Have Aussies gone soft?  The most recent interation is "people with disabilities ".  Put the person first and the affliction after.  

 

I have no idea how cripples even access half of Jomtien Beach in the first place.

But why would they have toilets for the crippled in a third world country?

Enough with the discrimination already...

...a better title would be:

 

Ten years on... still no toilets on Jomtien Beach

 

Dongtan Beach has long had two, but unless they're installing some as part of the new drainage works then I'm not aware of any on Jomtien Beach itself, though you can always cross the road and use the facilities provided by various shops and guest houses for a fee.
