webfact Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Pattaya begins campaign to wipe out rats on beaches PATTAYA: -- In an effort to keep the image of Pattaya as a world class tourist destination, Pattaya City is now taking serious on growing rat population. Action from the City came after complaints that a lot rats are seen on the beaches and thus affecting the image of the city’s clean beaches. But there are several alternatives to exterminate the rats – in a humane way or brutal choice. After taking into consideration of the brutal alternative..the use of poisons, local authorities feared their carcasses could pose disgusting smells as they could go everywhere before dying and thus scare away tourists. They decide to use non-lethal wire cages instead.

Brer Fox Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The rats are doing a big favour for Pattaya City and the beaches by helping clean up the garbage and filth that is left there by humans. Instead of getting rid of the rats they should be importing more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 pattaya beach is where all the businesses on the other side of the road, many of them restaurants, dump their rubbish, and usually its not dumped in bins but if it is they arent closed. its a free feast for the rats every day. the population would drop drastically if they would only stop feeding them but its good they arent poisoning them, as well as stinking the beach out it also kills the owls and cats that would naturally help keep the rat population down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishinsiam Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Going to my mates bar in Soi Diana whenever you go to the toilet there is always a rat or two running across the car park. I think they are fighting a losing game with this plan. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If they stopped feeding the rats with all the delicious rubbish they leave on the beach for feeding the rats if there was nothing for them to eat they would soon all head to second road for food to eat.

williamgeorgeallen Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 they would have more chance of teaching all the tourist police english (not much chance of that either) best chance is to remove their food source. wonder what they do with them once they catch them, relocate them?

Junkyarddog Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 When they are thru with the rats they can do something about the ladyboys. Or maybe the ladyboys should come first. After all when is the last time you heard of a rat pickpocketing a tourist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabula Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Wire cages are humane, but why do I feel they will be sentenced to death by drowning in the cages? History has shown us worldwide, rats always got a stiff sentence!? Their crime; being a rat and out looking for food. And they thought they were in paradise.

NextStationBangkok Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thailand should invent some innovative "Thai-Mickey Mouse on the Beach" show like the "Elephant show" to attract tourists. Only sad thing tourists cannot ride them after the show, but Mickey's can ride on tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyflower Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 They're just BEGINNING a campaign????? To keep Patts a world class tourist destination?????? I just can't go on. I went there once for the day. I was living in the home of one of the Immigration cops at the airport and he had to go to a conference at the police building in Jomtien, so he dumped me in Pattaya for the day. Ghastly place! What a dump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I like the kind of humor the "Broadcaster You Can Trust" shows here: In an effort to keep the image of Pattaya as a world class tourist destination… Keeping the image of Pattaya would be the last thing any serious PR agency would propose. However, reading the headline gave me the impression they offered inactive posts to all criminal Katoeys in the Ministry of Propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that rats that are poisoned smell any worse than rats that die any other way (and they all do die)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
