Mayor focuses on economy, culture, environment, participation in 2nd term

PATTAYA:--Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome called on elected city officials to concentrate on the local economy, public participation, the environment and culture in a speech positioned to frame his work over the next four years.

In a speech at the first Pattaya City Council meeting of the 2012-2016 term, the mayor said elected officials should work together to make Pattaya “the tourism destination for all, pushing to preserve natural and environmental resources with potential in developing a sustainable economy and society with participation from citizens in thinking and acting for a brighter city.”

Meanwhile they dump raw sewage into the beach where everyone swims.

Never in all my years of visiting Pattaya have I seen it as filthy as it is now. They are doing exactly the opposite of preserving natural and environmental resources. Adding a few solar panels around town (which many are already not working) doesn't cut it.
