rooster59 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Let's make Pattaya a green and pleasant paradise for tourists: clean-up underway Caption: City Hall cleaning up and spraying - Immediate 2,000 baht fine for littering Stung by criticism earlier in the week that Pattaya is a rubbish infested dump the mayor has demanded immediate action. Municipal cleaners were sent out to various areas by the mayor Sontaya Khunpluem, reported "We Love Pattaya". The clean-up was mounted all week. The aim was to make Pattaya "green" and restore its image as a tourist paradise. Efforts were being concentrated on Soi Jomtien 5 and the Bali Hai port area ahead of a sports event. The public were asked to help out by keeping the place tidy and reporting violators on City Hall's 24 hour 1337 hotline. Immediate fines of 2,000 baht are promised for anyone who doesn't toe the line in keeping Pattaya clean.

shadowofacloud Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Sorry, but what happened to the "world class family resort"? Is a "green and pleasant paradise" the next step or just a temporary stop on the way to world-classiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youlike Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Nice sidewalks on both sides! Left is a huge advertising and right is full of weed. Thai will never learn how it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 April Fool's! The problem with Pattaya Jomtien is that there are 200k poor, uneducated Thai who are from everywhere but Pattaya. They don't own condos, homes, pretty much the clothes on their backs. Add to this the precarious and dangerous work they are engaged in and the fact they are young and carefree. The motodops are already on the run from family and police. Not much incentive to care about YOUR beautiful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusX1 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Last month while I was in Bangkok, I was talking to a very young hotel maid on a temporary work assignment from Cambodia, with good English. I asked her if she’d been anywhere else in Thailand, and she replied “Yes, Pattaya. It was SO beautiful!” She said this with eyes shining, and without a hint of sarcasm in her voice. I couldn’t think of anything to say in reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t think of anything to say in reply. Big modern buildings. A beach. She'd most likely never seen the sea. It's appealing to Indians and Russians for similar reasons. Cambodia has plastics and trash everywhere as well. Normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thai not seen the ocean as well. I lived in Pattaya on and off from 00 to 08. Many girls got trapped in the bar scene because their lives back in the moo ban banal and stultifying. Some families struggle with electricity. Males given to wasting the family resources on lao khao. How you gonna keep em down on the farm after they've seen Par'ee?

DekDaeng Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 8 or 10 or 12 years ago there was a 'Pattaya Progress Association' - bunch of falangs with nothing better to do, just liked to interfere; - drew up a list of things to make Pattaya a 'more welcoming place' But couldn't find any 'powers' who cared one iota.

jacko45k Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Riding home from central Pattaya only the other day, I witnessed how the locals were restraining themselves from dumping rubbish on Pattaya Beach. On the way home this family in the back of the pickup had stopped, and the days collection of rubbish was being dumped by the side of the Railway Line bypass. Not that it made things look any worse.

Well the rats appear to like it, take a walk down Pattaya beach road early morning and you will appreciate what I mean, there must be hundreds of them scurrying about and they are not afraid of humans although the cats appear to be frightened of the rats....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but the problems with Pattaya are and always have been its pxxx poor management, its lack of urban or population planning and its rampant corruption and scamming. All have contributed. It could and should have been a 'paradise'. It had all the advantages and they were wasted by corruption, stupidity and mismanagement on a grand scale.

mariosolari Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 A tourist paradise with hundreds of highly polluting buses that run the streets all day. And the beach turned into a port for speedboats that pollute the air with petrol fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
