Skeptic7 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) ...and this is "News" to whom? Oh yeah...all the Thai and foreign tourists I see swimming in it every time I'm there... Pattaya sea water quality gets 'poor' grade Edited June 23, 2016 by Rimmer Forbidden link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namatjira Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 ' poor grade '.....I am surprised they even bothered testing it. Condoms, sewerage, there is nothing deviant it does not have. Be a braver man who swims in that cess pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannig Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) When in Pattaya (not that this happens a lot) I go to Bang Saray when I want to swim. Unfortunately the sea water there seemed almost as filthy as it is in Pattaya last time I went. Despite us all taking showers before leaving, one person in the party has been scratching himself for a full day afterwards. EDIT: ouch. Didn't notice the link. This thread is gone in 3...2...

onemorechang Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Swim over Jomtien always decent over there Some times but not always. Never been in the sea in pattaya or jomtien, just go have a good look at the shit in the water. think it could melt your foot off.

lonewolf99 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 When I first came here I knew no better and waded into the sea in Jomtien. It only took a few minutes to realise what I was amongst. Panty liner was the first to get stuck against my leg. Then more and more plastic bags and then I saw the dogs crapping all over the place.... Since then I don't venture in. I have been to Koh Larn and Koh Chang and the water was free of the above some of the time... But I have since realised that Jomtien has at least 2 sewage/drain outfalls just offshore. One is about 400 mtrs out from around where the jet skis and boats pull up and launch near Soi 14. I have seen it basically bubbling to the surface.....not good.
