Just curious as if any one knows why there are no deck chairs on the beach in Pattaya and jomtien beaches on a wensday,my only thinking is it to make the beach look nice for one day of the week, but it's hardly paradise with a busy road, jet sky's,shops working girls and rubbish

Wen decided to have that day off !

When did Wen decide to Wednesday off?

The reason is ( believe it or not ) so the beaches can be "cleaned"

New law brought in by City Hall deckchairs must be allowed one day off per week for rest and recouperation.......the beach vendors chose wednesday as the best one

Was part of the new regulations for the beach chairs

Wednesday is beach cleaning day.

Has been in force since last year

It's after Saturday. Problem is, every day is a Saturday.

And the trouble is it just doesn't look any cleaner. It's another one of those silly laws that doesn't achieve it's purpose.

Because the Buddha sat on the ground under his bodhi tree on Wednesdays. Other days of the week, he brought his deckchair, except Sundays. Sundays he brought his shooting stick.

If the purpose was to give a day off, similar to street vendors in BKK, then it worked. Working 7 days a week is rough.

Getting a salary cut can be tougher.

you mean after fool's day ?

Live in Hua Hin and here in a 5 star Hotel Anantasila in Khao Takiab sunchairs on the beach is not allowed at any time since a while back.

Stupid as most guest at the hotel like to stay at the beach in a sunchair.

Horses in the beach is allowed!

Sunchairs dont put crap in the sun as the horses does!

It does allow people to actually walk along what is left of the beach one day of the week.
Last time I tried on a non Wednesday there were several places where the only way was to walk in the dirty water.

So that once a week the beach will look similar to the pictures in the travel brochures.

They should let the beach chair vendors decide for themselves when they want to have a day off. This rule makes as much sense as the rule that you cant buy beer between 1 and 5.

I thought Chooseday would have made more sense !

Can't buy a beer between 1 and 5??

You need to get out of the 7/11's and go to a bar.

Same all over the country....methinks.

No Haircuts or Deck chairs on Wensday

According to my memory, it was not City Hall that decided on the new ruling- it was the new junta government that visited Pattaya one day and stated that Wednesdays would be no-chair-day and also spaced out the sections of the rusty chair-umbrella seating areas in order to allow people to sit on the beach. Interesting how the BIG government in BKK cannot control the jet-ski scam crime on the Beach promenade after midnight, or the new towering condo on government land but can flex their muscle on the little guy renting out beach chairs.

Turdsday on the beach most days.

Yes, I buy beer in the supermarket or 7 to put in the fridge in my condo when I am in Jomtien with my Thai wife. No hanging out in bars when you have a family, but I am happy with that. BTW, BKK has the same time restrictions for buying beer in supermarkets. I could never make any sense out of this.
