Pattaya — Used condoms found near a railway station in Pattaya have raised concerns about public health and the city’s image as a family-friendly destination.

On December 11th, concerned residents reported to The Pattaya News that they found several used condoms scattered on the ground near a pile of railway pillows at the Pattaya Railway Station’s multipurpose area.

The residents were concerned that the area could become a breeding ground for infectious diseases and negatively affect the city’s image as a family-friendly tourist destination, as the area is frequented by tourists.

 

Upon inspection, The Pattaya News reporters found used condoms, wrappers, and tissues scattered across the ground and on the concrete railway pillows. The area is also very unsanitary, with the smell of decay and the presence of flies.

Maybe what they mean is how can people have happy families if everyone is wearing condoms 🙄🙄 ..............LOL

My thoughts is that kids will do this sort of thing and at least they are using protection. I wouldn't worry about the image of Pattaya from what is going on here, in the middle of nowhere, a couple of Km out of town... one would simply need to look in some of the main streets off the Beach Rd! Few tourists arrive by train.

Don't give Thai's any ideas!

I wonder if the area is like so many public spaces in Thailand where it's a long hike to the nearest trash receptacle?

 

If you want to improve the image for tourists, I suggest more trash cans and more public rest rooms.  You'll have less trash and fewer videos of people pooping and peeing in public.

I've seen Thai's throw their trash on the ground with a trash can less then 20 feet away, they care very little for their own environment, that's not even a secret here.
