pattayadgw Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I first travelled to Pattaya in 1976. I lived in Pattaya for 5 years till 2011 and never swam in the water there once due to pollution. I worked offshore in the gulf of Thailand in the 1980's and the amount of plastic and rubbish then was simply indescribable. So this latest article does not surprise me one little bit... and STILL, NOTHING IS BEING DONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it has only taken the authorities that many years to wake up to this fact(muted applause) I went 30 years ago and it was then, as you say, "self-evident then that it was a disaster zone."

( for a friend who is coming to visit.......) Hi DL. Yes the secret sex town just south of Jontiem. It is on TvisaF ( a green bee with a smile on his face). Obviously I wouldn't click on it.

roger waters Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I am convinced if there was not much of a prostitution Pattaya would be a dead city ... unfortunately my skirt pulls more of the pollution ....

Hilarious ! Instead of hassling the bars, the authorities should be spending more time and effort limiting the amount of sewage being directed to the beach. Treat it like a toilet long enough it will become one, you reap what you sow! Spending time and effort is not the problem. Spending money is!

WhizBang Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Every time I see tourists who go swimming in that water off Pattaya beach, I just shake my head.

DerekMarshall Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 So the general attempts to clear the seedy lewd image that Pattaya has as the world's sex capital ...and people start noticing for the first time that the town has a beach! ...and a filthy disgusting one at that! Anyone else think that turning Pattaya into world class beach resort for families might just be mission impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaZa9 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 On my first trip to Pats more than 12 years back I concluded the sea there was an unhealthy place to swim. STILL nothing being done ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seas are putrid and you would have to be suicidal. actually, the Andaman Sea is quite nice, especially as it laps against our shores in Koh Lanta -but that is the other side of the country, and not near a teeming stinking out of control metropolis plus all the pollution and garbage flowing from Bangkok into the sea via Chao Praya -ANYWHERE in Gulf of Thailand, i won't even walk on the beach!!!

juice777 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 They are just too busy, a situation just over their heads, building toll booths, widening Beach Road, putting up cross walk signals that have all been abandon, painting impressive color traffic lines and stops for Songthaw, digging a tunnel that is behind schedule, but the BIB, are setting up stings for violators who are tired of waiting for it to open. Now they are planning a light rail system all at a cost of millions/billions. While Pattaya continues to grow with no real master plan to improve the system as they continue to add to the sewer.You forgot cutting down the trees in Jomtien Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice777 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 10 years ago, during my discharge interview by a Thai doctor at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, he recommended that I NEVER go swimming in the sea anywhere near Pattaya. He was convinced that the water was polluted by so many pathogens that it represented a serious health hazard. I think someone should translate this Thread in to Russian and tell them not to let there kids swim in the sea.

phycokiller Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 no point comparing it to Vietnam or the Andaman, the Gulf of Thailand is enclosed and very shallow and has a huge industrial area and city and port on its shores, even if they clean up their act its never going to compare to those places on the open ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
