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

The article says that there will be 'on site attendants'. They will be needed to assist the lame and elderly up and down them. 

 

They're an accident waiting to happen.

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.

 

Hmmm, 5 or 10.  I'll take 10. Do they hand out newspapers, too?

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.

Will this be located in Boys Town near walking st or the other end of the beach?🙄 Maybe it could be named The George Michael Memorial Latrine 🤐

There will be certain groups living on the beach again if they supply these facilities!

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

There's man with a surfboard on one door, and a lady wearing a bikini on the other. Come on, use your imagination! 5555

Sorry, I got it wrong. There is a man with a surfboard for the one on the right, and only ladies wearing bikinis can use the left one.

Looking at the picture , could that be leaking urine on the ground at the back of the mobile toilets ?

What about when the ferry’s dock ?hundreds of tourists etc. I was  there on a walk not long back and there seems plenty room to build big modern toilettes with cleaners . Charge 5 baht for the ladies taking care . 
That mobile one is far too small, would be ok on the beach front I suppose .

But those stairs look downright dangerous!

What is that big puddle at the rear of the truck.......!!!!

Who will create history and use the free bogs as short time rooms?
