AzarovDmitriy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Today (06.09.2011) I went out on my balcony (23 floor, the Wangomat Beach) and saw that the sea was a brown color, like rusty water. I never saw the sea in such bad condition. The rusty water is everywhere. It even seems to be in the area of Kho Larn. Really, it's an ecological disaster. What do you think? What is it?

PattayaParent Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Look to the right from your balcony window. See that big petrochemical and refinery complex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokrick Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It was the same in Jomtien last week, very sad to see and it's the first time that I have ever seen it this bad. I agree it looked like an oil slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 You might also wonder what happens each time someone flushes a lavatory in Pattaya..... The bay has become an open sewer. San Antonio in Ibiza was like this back in the late 60's but they cleaned it up because the tourist industry was dropping off... there seems to be little will to do likewise in Pattaya.

Hate it when I am right-nobody to argue with. (Secretly I was hoping it was related to global warming, fukushima, la nina and not boring old rain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ten to twenty-thousand filled condoms that get flushed down the toilet nightly in Pattaya doesn't add much to water's quality either...probably good for the micro-plankton feeders, however Just another reason to pass on all that expensive ocean-front real estate.

toenail Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What happens to the condoms that are flushed down the toilet? (Fortunately) that is one thing that does not wash to shore --everything else does, bottles, plastic tooth brushes, flip-flops, and sometimes someones underewear.
