Toknarok Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 25 years ago I was on Koh Samet. It was the beginning a long Thai weekend and lots of Thais were coming to the island. I sat on the arrivals boat jetty and watched the ferries heavily loaded with visitors dock. 99% of these visitors were Thai. Without fail every time a boat was pulling up to the dock, many of the passengers would jettison their garbage overboard. Plastic water bottles, and wrappers that had been used whilst on their short trip were casually tossed overboard. All the non-biodegradable crap. That was 25 years ago so it doesn't take any imagination to fathom out why Pattaya and it's environs beaches are such a mess today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 yeah tourist and foreigners! what a nonsense! and even of tourist are throwing rubbish, it is all up to the authorities to man the beaches and fine the offenders hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Perhaps if she did, her squawking might be more acceptable. Much of that appears to have come in with the tide, and is a consequence of all the garbage dropped by locals that end up in the rivers and streams which of course go straight out to sea. The blame lies much closer to home than Ms. Limkum believes. I also note that as someone who makes her money from tourism, she has a pretty piss poor view of her customers. Most of it come from waste dumping from Kho Larn, tan on the beach mainly from Thai BKK turists , they represent +- 85% of the turists !!!!!

Huayrat Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Go look at that beach around 10pm and see who is sat on there.. It is mostly drunk Thai ppl drinking beer so no surprise where them bottles and bags come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smew Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Every rain fall washes filth down the streets into the sea. walk along any street and you’ll see small vendors dumping their wash water and small pieces of filthy garbage into sewage drains manhole which eventually finds its way to the sea... it is actually the tourists that try to keep their beaches clean. Never in my 18 yrs here have I seen a Thai pickup garbage on any beachs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddysmit Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 On 5/9/2019 at 10:45 AM, geoffbezoz said: Of course its the tourists. Its only the foreigners that come to Pattaya, install drains and poorly constructed pipes that allows overflowing raw sewage into the bay. Of course its foreigners because as soon as they get here they charter a cargo vessel, anchor just outside of the bay and pump their bilges straight to the gulf. Of course its foreigners for allowing the Thai venders to throw their grease and garbage down the drains. Of course its foreigners. And then no doubt whomever can be credited with this mickey mouse reporting will then be complaining that foreigners don't understand the way Thais do things !!! Correct, I remember years ago when there was a big drainage renewal digging operation down through central road, when completed it still flooded the following rainy season, if you were to take a look into the soi drains they are full of dumped oil and plastic bags polystyrene, usually by vendors,it all makes its way out to the sea, the law that all premises must have a 'dump pot' was in action,but, the drains still stank of sewage, and for sure the islands are still dumping their rubbish in the sea after daylight hours.

Nemises Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Cleaning up the beach is easy when compared to the challenge of removing the deadly bacterial levels of the “sea” water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Whoever travelled in Pattaya's hinterland has noticed those endless strips and dumps of garbage with daily contributions by official green carbage collection trucks - among private additions. Just flip to the next article; it is yet another story of all the aliens at fault as the holy Thais would never ever be as inconsiderate. Why to certain people at the city hall not simply shut their big dirty mouth and get on with the work they actually are paid for? A country fining more than USD 3'000 for a smoke on the beach or jail sentence threats for a cold beer during a vacation day afternoon is not worth to be visited by vacationers. Go elsewhere and leave the pristine Thailand to Khon Thai - then only they start to understand, in what kind of pig stall they live and fingerprint at each other as there is no other alien to blame.

gk10002000 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Jomtien used to be OK to swim in and was a nice break from Pattaya. But haven't been in the water in a decade and that streak is likely to continue. Such a shame because Pattaya and then Jomtien to swim during the day was a great holiday. Even swam in Naklua once, around the other point, but that was when the shore walkway was still intact and you could walk up along the beach from Pattaya. Really was a pretty walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TumblinDice Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 This & countless many other discarded trash scenes I have seen ALL left by Thais on the beaches, in ditches, along the railway tracks, sidewalks & in fields. I have never seen a falang leave behind trash on a beach. Thais always have got to save face & pass the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5633572526 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 When I rent a hotel room here it gets dirty and the people who profit from my rent clean it up so they can profit from the next customer. Perhaps they could apply this same theory to the beach that they profit from and those who expect to profit from it could Clean It Up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrobay Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thais including this vender could care less about garbage/trash everywhere. The only reason she said something is because her chair rental business is probably down. She is just lucky the oblivious chinese/indians/thais are still around. And now with the air pollution the Thais have figured out a way to screw up the long view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
