More stains on Pattaya's reputation as filthy water ruins a day at the sea

 

Picture: 77Jowo

 

PATTAYA: -- Filthy water is ruining a day at the seaside for tourists visiting Wong Amat beach in North Pattaya.

 

Reporters from 77Jowo reported from the beach at the weekend that foul smelling black water was flooding into the sea.

 

A nearby condo was suspected by no one named names.

 

Shell collectors on a day out said it was always like this - and the dirt and smells not only spoiled their day at the seaside but was bad for the image of Pattaya and terrible for tourism.

 

The authorities were asked to get their act together quick and find out why it was happening and put an end to it.

Dirty water at the beach in Pattaya.

[johng]

Its easy to put a stop to this...just bring a defamation suit against anyone  posting "bad images of Pattaya"

no need to build those costly water treatment plants and  kilometer long discharge pipes etc etc

where is the sarcasm emoticon ?

It has changed...  it got worse !   

 

and that part of the beach as you can see in the background of the photo above

is home to "5 star" hotels and very expensive condos.

A squirrel is getting the blame ..... no, seriously it is.

[daveAustin]

Can't report condo for doing wrong because they will sue.

[docshock13]

Maybe it's the massive turd in the center of the photo? 

What is that thing? Really. 

[fforest1]

No problem the quality tourist gave up on Pattaya a looooong time ago...

[sungod]

I pop down there a lot over the last few years, a couple of times a week and in all fairness never seen any sludge. There is garbage that gets washed up/left behind but a quick sweep of the area to sit doesn't take long. For a beach in the centre of the city its usually not that bad.

[Daryle]

They can't put in place a level footpath, so how would you expect them to put in a complex piece of infrastructure, such as a water treatment plan.

Is anyone surprised to hear that the water around Pattaya is utterly polluted?

It would be news if it was suddenly found to be clean!

[redwinecheese]

Crazy people think Pattaya is a real tourist destination they will never know it is only sex destination.

wait a few days for the "perfectly normal seasonal algae bloom"  statement from an official  to make an appearance in the news.

Wrong! I guess many brown envelopes changed hands during this time.

It's the residue formed when large quantities of fat brown envelopes are defecated.

Just declare Wong Amat a Happy Ending Zone... all will be well.

[Monkeyrobot]

I guess you would class that beach as a non happy zone.

Definitely would be slander. Keep dumping if someone names you whizz em off to court.

Let me me get this straight you have to sweep up a place to sit down???

[sungod]

No not 'sweep up' in that context, but pick up a few pieces of garbage if there are any in the area, no different from many other beaches.

Agree.  It was beautiful and clean when I first came to Thailand 27 years ago.  It's a sewer now and he smell of sewage is everywhere.
