Not at home but perhaps WOW.

 

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?

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.

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.

Efforts were being concentrated on Soi Jomtien 5 and the Bali Hai port area ahead of a sports event. 

Ah, so it is a one-off.

WHEN was it ever a "tourist paradise?"

Oh please! It's a world class family resort!

Spare a thought for the poor fury rats that will have no home and nothing to eat if this cleanup continues

Nice sidewalks on both sides! Left is a huge advertising and right is full of weed. Thai will never learn how it's done.

You might call them weeds sir, but perhaps they form part of the Green and Pleasant.

Define PARADISE.

Stung by criticism earlier in the week that Pattaya is a rubbish infested dump the mayor has demanded immediate action. 

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

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.

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.

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.
