Rimmer Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Beach vendors remove equipment PATTAYA:--Pattaya Beach looked more pristine than it has in memory after umbrella vendors removed all their equipment from the sand for two days. Deckchair operators hauled all their gear off the beach June 20 for the first time before the first consecutive Wednesday and Thursday when the beach was returned to its natural state. Previously, vendors were allowed to stack all their chairs and property under the trees before “no chairs Wednesday”. City spokesman Pinit Maneerat said the equipment removal would only be required during June and July when contractors will relevel the sand.

johng Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Why are the beach chairs and umbrellas all situated under any remaining trees, while the areas with no trees for shade also have no umbrellas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccadilly Circus Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Much much much better. Pity it's only temporary I'd ban the lot permanently shabby manky deck chairs and umbrellas a right eyesore! The authorities should allow 5 or 6 new snack bar type catering trailers along the beach for refreshment convenience along with waste bins all long the beach cleaned daily. Maybe a few deck chair vendors but only new chairs and umbrellas in nice bright colours. The Mediterranean resorts get it right why can't these lot?

mikebell Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 When all this fuss about pristine beaches dies down, will soi 6 re-open for business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan B Tong Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Good. Keep these sand fleas and their kit away from the beach. They should rent a store front and rent chairs out of it. Have a beach boy lug it to and from the beach for customers when finished. The beach has always looked like a squatters camp or a chair disposal center.

Monkeyrobot Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Forget about releveling the sand , clean the water. If you go to the beer garden and look back at the water filter plant about 30 metres before the beginning of walking street you will see two large outlet pipes about 4 ft in diameter , watch what comes out when it raining, you will never swim at that beach again Pattaya has bad drainage issues so the water has no wear to go but the beach. .

Gandtee Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Do you remember when there were no umbrellas on the beach? Just grass roofed salas to remind you that you were in Thailand. Now the beach is the same as any around europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sure looks beautiful and something a tourist would expect of a tropical location. But are we missing the point here? Think of how much more employment and income is derived from the current set up? Dodgy jet-ski operators (and their hanger ons) paying brown bag fees to "officials" and extra income (legal or otherwise) coming in for the local administration, deck chair vendors paying 'fees' (legal or otherwise) also and the list goes on. Cynical comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
