Beach Road rat race continues

PATTAYA:--The onset of rainy season has the rats running again on Beach Road, made fat on garbage left behind by tourists.

Vermin clambered around the sand from Soi 7 to Walking Street June 7, snapping up scraps tossed by tourists and left behind by local pubs and restaurants.

The Public Health and Environment Department previously said it has been exterminating rats for more than seven years. But fueled by a birthrate that can see every female rat producing up to 85 offspring a year, the problem has started to worsen.

zMy personal experience is that there are more rats in Bangkok on lower Sukimvitt. And they are fatter as well- more garbage piled up on the street

actually they arent doing too well at the moment because of the lack of tourists. you can smell the ones that have died of starvation in many areas
