Eddie the German calls in the media to save his stinky Pattaya beach

 

Picture: Pattaya Newss

 

PATTAYA: -- A German tourist called in the local media after being fed up with filthy sewage messing up his favorite beach, Thap Praya at Soi 5.

 

Mr Eddie was out swimming when he noticed some awful smells so he investigated the cause. The culprit was soon found - a pipe from the road that led to the sea. You could fit two people in a pipe that big, he observed.

 

He called in Pattaya News who found it was true - the sea smelled bad in a wide stretch. Eddie said he used to enjoy swimming there but not now.

 

Local traders said that the authorities put the pipe in years ago to help with flooding. It led directly into the sea and has been a source of complaint from foreign and Thai tourists for a long time.

 

They all agreed with Eddie that something should be done about it.

Eddie used to enjoy swimming there but had not noticed the pipe that was so large you could fit 2 people into it--and had been installed there years ago.....

.

Maybe Eddie's next stop should be at Specsavers...................

I wonder if Eddie has seen it.....Oh no I cant ask that... means I will be having a go at him.....

"...eddie the german"....thats awesome....eddies da man! Can the local establishment ascribe to his common sense?

"....... that something should be done about it."   I like that one.

so, the brilliant thai engineers installed flood control pipes which now are the cause of this stinkin mess in the sea and on the beach. what engineering school did they attend, I want to learn thai engineering...Not!

Its all to do with the "algea blooms"   there are many such "bloooms" along the Pattaya and Jomtien bays they especially  tend to appear in the designated swimming areas !

I thought the TAT minister said very recently that watersports would be promoted.

Others could be charged with defecation.

There must be thousands of condoms bobbing around in the sea off Pattaya.

Yesterday I saw several tourists in THAT water

so stupid!! 

I don't understand the excitement over the exrement. It's the same all over Thailand, and a well established fact. Don't swim in the ocean, ever, unless you are far, far away from the general population. "sea froth" takes on a meaning all of its own, in Thailand.

Silly buggers.

I thought the pipe was there to  supply fertilizer for the coral reefs and the fish stock of Pattaya's main beach. Maybe I got that wrong...

I cleaned this beach every day for two years. The 'stuff' I found on the beach and in the car park area was unbelievable - including many used and unused hypodermics, and a lot of other nasties. Nobody ever helped except for two Russians and three Chinese over that two year period. One Thai helped in that time. One only. I went away for a week on holiday and when I got back it was disgusting. Rubbish in piles everywhere. I've never cleaned it since! The lesson I learned was "Nobody cares if you do. Nobody cares if you don't". 

Such a shame. Such, potentially, a beautiful beach. Millions must have been spent beautifying it at one stage but it's now fallen into a sad state of repair. Nobody cares.

Have they removed the ones from Yim Yom beach yet ?
