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

Well there isn't a 7-11 nearby with a trash can, but I suspect there might be one on the railway platform.

Pattaya's image?  A used condom, the perfect representation.

A few scattered around a little railway station by young locals, I am quite sure is a small fraction of those ending up in soi 6 toilets! I can only imagine the number emanating from Pattaya Central each night!

They might as well just give up, start advertising the New Sin-City to rival even Las Vegas, and capitalize on their new found fame.

That's certainly not unique to Thailand.  Here's the aftermath of a festival in Glastonbury, where they had 40,000 trash bins.

We had the same problems on the beach in Galveston where I was a Covid refugee for a couple of years.  The difference was that we had trash bins every 50 yards on the beach, even more near the parking, and a crew that drove down the beach every morning to pick up after the slobs.  That's what successful tourist areas do.

 

I spend a lot of time walking around Bangkok, getting in my target 10,000 steps a day.  When I finish a bottle of water, I often walk with it for 10-20 minutes before I find a can to bin it.  That's not how you appeal to tourists.

 

Thai tourists maybe lol

And yet, so often we read about city officials saying "Hold my beer"

But who's going to walk that far with a woodie and that afterglow?
