webfact Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 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.

sungod Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 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 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 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.Sent from my SM-T530 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungod Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
