Howiehotspur Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I live in Patts ( well pratunmak actually ) . I go for a run along the Pattaya beach road most morning , very early .. just about missing the surge of Chinese turning up to clamber onto the speed boats and hundreds of coaches turning up ... the beach has never NEVER looked nice in the 26 years I've been coming / living here . I once went for a swim when the tide was in about 6-7 years ago ,Christmas time .. I swallowed a mouth full ... yes ofcourse the taste was disgusting, and about 4/5 hours later I was as sick as a dog , stomach etc ... this lasted about 3weeks completely ruined Christmas ... I still think it was cholera... ( although I know you die from that ) ... survived , but never never to swim in it again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolgeoff Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 the beach is something tourist want to see.many hotels have pools too.but the vendors can do something to keep it clean as well.but they don,t just sell the food and take the money.one reason they go up the rd to jomiten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracas Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Progress in Pattaya - Gone are the days when kids needed to bring a small bucket and spade to the beach so as they could play in the sand. Now Pattaya freely supplies all the old plastic bottles, plastic bags and used condoms you could ever want to play with, and why swim when you can walk on the water.

chama Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 All of this presupposes that the tourist are their for the beaches. Of course if they are there for a reason that is always downplayed and/or denied then what's a little trash when your exhausted from last evenings adventures?

balo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Well , the Russians doesn't seem to mind the trash , they even swim in it. When I walked along the beach a few days ago , it looked really bad but plenty of Russians and Chinese around couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Thais feel that cleaning up rubbish is beneath them. That's why the country is one big rubbish dump. I was going to say s... hole.

bkk6060 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Compared to other SEA beaches it is not that bad. A buddy recently told me how great Sihanoukville is. Went last month what a filthy hole of a trash dump Pattaya is pristine compared to that S hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 "Most tourists completely understand and just put up with the unsightly trash, he remarked." Funny enough, I'd expect the tourist to get on hands and knees and clean up the beach. Of course that'd be a fine for working without a license. Let's see a fine, time in the Jail house, or hold your nose and look the other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hate to say this but the guy is right. The average TOURIST spends maybe 4 or 5 days here in Pattaya. There's plenty to do in those 4 or 5 days. Maybe they'll get to the beach 1 or 2 days. Whether it's dirty or not, it's not going to overly bother them because they will be gone in a day or 2. It's the same way with me when I travel somewhere. I might remark that such and such is bad but I don't live there and I will be off to somewhere else in a few days so---no big deal. Most TOURISTS only visit a place once. I've been to Beijing once and likely will only visit it once--there are many other places I also want to see--ONCE. The people upset about the occasionally dirty beaches and the occasional flooded streets are the people actually living here--either full or part-time. These are the people the city should be trying to please and keep both as full-time residents and those coming for the winter season year after year.

But wouldn't it be much nicer for visitors here to use a beach or enter a sea that is not full of detritus and other such unpleasantness that could have possible health repercussions for folk even if it is only for a couple of days outta their total .. Not to mention the bad publicity that is created by one catastrophe after another .. I mean if this continues foreigners may start to think that the authorities here don't know what their doing ..

maxpower Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 1000 Pattaya tourists were stopped and asked if they were bothered by the dirty beaches. 122 said Yes and expressed real concern. 878 said No a decent short time was more important.

gk10002000 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 While Pattaya has many things I love; the baht bus system is fantastic and convenient, I love the farang food especially german, full english breakfast, some decently priced hotels with pools, some good nightlife, etc. I really like to swim in a clean ocean so over the years, as even Jomtien became to me unswimmable, I have split my time more to other parts of Thailand, Koh Samui was OK, Phuket Karon and Kata beaches, and a smattering of Patong. If Pattaya actually had clean water, gosh the place would totally rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
