With all the natural catastrophes in the world it is not surprising that desease follows right behind, mostly water born and stemming from lack of sanitation.

In Pattaya we have not had any earthquakes or other major problems but we still have health hazards and in particular one man made one - Raw sewage being pumped onto the street. For days now the road contractors have diverted the drain run off whiich contains sewerage direct onto the open road in Soi 5 (Immigration Soi) Jomtien.

Pattaya city council have been notified but just do not want to know. It will be interesting when it hits the headlines as people are already suffering from sore throats and headacres, perhaps worse ro come, so stay away if you wish to be healthy

Now you can go fishing there. High class tourist destination, upmarket development....yeah!!!

That is a very dangerous practice, thank for the warning. Haiti is an example of what happening when this occurs on a large scale.

Nice! I was wondering how they suddenly managed to 'fix' the leak on the new 2nd road route that people have been walking/driving through for years. Just moved it! Ingenious!

They are doing the same thing at Carrefour. Raw sewage is being drained into the storm drains. It SMELLS really bad. And it just ends up at the local beach...another reason not to swim here....
