How do you clean up a billion maggots in the sand?

When jungle people are coming from the villages with no concept of communal living and/or proper sanitation a little education might be in order.

Thais like cartoons, which are also a good teaching aid.

Otherwise this is just another publicity stunt!

Past 2 years ?

How about the other streets in Pattaya? I saw a large rat running around the parked cars in broad daylight on Buakhao. Pattaya is more than Beach Rd.

Originally I thought this was about cleaning the sand!

Well is the beach any cleaner?

"Jungle people"?

 

If it weren't for the jungle people, none of the foreigners would come!

Should actually have given the chemical to the umbrella and beach chair owners for ingestion... that is the best way to get rid of the rat community on Pattaya beaches.

I'd say the soi dog problem dwarfs the rat problem. Are they not carriers of rabies, parasites and other diseases. Aren't people more likely to get rabies from a soi dog than a rat? When has anyone been attacked by a rabid rat? LOL. Dogs attack me nearly every day on the motorcycle,  but fortunately I have always been lucky to escape unbitten.

 

Of course if you say anything perceived as anti-dog, the dog lovers come out in full force to attack... yet dogs and rats are both animals. It's OK to kill one animal species yet not the other? Is it not animal cruelty to kill a rat with poison? You can be charged for "animal cruelty" in Thailand. Where do they draw the line?
