Pattaya City has unveiled a new initiative to enhance public convenience by launching luxurious air-conditioned mobile toilets for residents and tourists, free of charge. The first unit is strategically placed outside Walking Street, near the South Pattaya Pumping Station, and promises comfort and hygiene from 8am to midnight daily.

 

The facility, designed for both men and women, includes two restrooms for each gender and is maintained by on-site staff to ensure cleanliness. Mayor Poramet Ngampichet, alongside Deputy Mayor Manoch Nongyai and other officials, inspected the unit, underscoring Pattaya's aim to provide a world-class experience.

 

Originally, the city intended to build three permanent public toilets along the beachfront. However, legal constraints and Marine Department regulations regarding coastal development led to a pivot towards mobile units. "These can be easily relocated and still offer comfort and cleanliness," Mayor Poramet explained, highlighting the flexibility and practicality of mobile toilets.

 

This initiative is part of a larger campaign to upgrade Pattaya's infrastructure, following recent enhancements to the beachfront's walkways and landscaping. The air-conditioned toilets underscore the city's commitment to tourist-friendly innovation, with plans to introduce similar units at Central Pattaya Beach and South Pattaya Beach.

 

Locals and tourists are encouraged to use the new facilities, particularly during the hot, busy evenings on Walking Street, where air-conditioning and clean restrooms are highly appreciated.

 

As the tourism sector rebounds, Pattaya is not only catering to its visitors with welcoming beaches and attractions but is also taking steps to ensure their comfort with state-of-the-art amenities like these mobile toilets.

What, just the two genders catered for?

[newbee2022]

Welcome. Now during the heat these little cubicles will be occupied over hrs by a few only? 

Have a rest in a comfortable atmosphere😂

Obviously the engineer that built the steps wasn't top of his class in geometry.

How do people know those are toilets from looking at the truck

No, they are for men and women, who are residents or tourists. 555

All this BS about sharing bogs with trans people will not matter because there is only one person at any one time in either of the cubicles.

Great idea. Now, charge for their use, limit the time to say 5 or 10 minutes. And inspect after each use for damage or leaving dirty. Sorted.

Convenient for emptying into the sea.

Good effort but....... The first up and last down steps look like a fall zone.  Handicap access???  And how many 100's of meters for anyone to walk to these mobile toilets.

An interesting idea.  Having been to Pats 15 times, I never had an issue finding some of those toilets behind many of the bars and paying 5 or 10 baht to use them.  But something along beach road in the few spots not particularly close to the side street bars might be reasonable.  I do not mind paying a reasonable price

How long will it be before some writes on the walls  " THERES NO USE STANDING ON THE SEAT CAUSE THE CRABS IN HERE CAN JUMP 6 FEET "

Yeah but they will close at midnight. Do thet think that by midnight everyone is tucked into bed ??

Would have been nice to have them during high season not after. Let’s just hope they hold up til next high season. Instead of proud they should be embarrassed. They promised these months ago. I guess better late than never, but not going to help the late night crowd. 55 crowd

They would be very handy if you picked up one of the beachfront belles and didn't want to get a short time room you cou could have a nookie in the dunny.

by the smell being emitted?

[Burma Bill]

As usual with Thailand, no apparent facilities for disabled persons/tourists.

[Antiparovian]

Handy for a quick tug
