October 17 beach road @ soi 8 Pattayas equivelent to Chernobyl. Note all the people cleaning up.<BR><BR>The 2 dumb a$$ umbrella operators in the background are raking the trash back into the water.

That typical beach is sure to attract lots "High Spending Tourists" that TAT is talking about, for "Miracle Thailand".

Don't want to bring out the Thai bashing brigade but l live on the banks of a lake and the locals come to fish there, great, but the bank is now covered in plastic food bags, drink cartons, you name it and they come back to fish again in the same spot wallowing in the crap. It is so easy to take the rubbish away, why !!!

two words BONE IDLE same when I was building a house, parents and kids all just leave it on the ground, great education for the kids.
