reader Posted October 25 Posted October 25 From The Thaiger Tourists at Pattaya Beach raised alarm bells over the shocking amount of litterstrewn across the holiday resort’s shoreline, sparking questions about where it all came from. Visitors reported seeing a disturbing collection of rubbish both floating in the sea and littering the sands, including cigarette butts, plastic bags, water bottles, foam containers, and Styrofoam boxes. The unsightly mess extends along the entire stretch of Pattaya Beach, with significant piles of cigarette butts accumulating in various spots. Concerned locals are now calling on city officials to investigate the source of the debris, worried that such an eyesore could tarnish Pattaya’s reputation as a premier tourist hotspot. Local media suggest that recent thunderstorms and high winds may have played a role in washing this trash ashore. In response to the mounting complaints from both visitors and residents, Pattaya City officials were spotted cleaning up the beaches today. Another tourist added that litter is keeping tourists away. “I come to Pattaya for its beautiful beaches, but seeing all this trash really ruins the experience.” https://thethaiger.com/news/national/tourists-express-concern-over-trash-littering-pattaya-beach splinter1949 1 Quote

Fascination with new and unknown easily offsets litter here and there in the sand. The same way first timer in go-go will see only half naked boys on the stage without noticing that floor is sticky, glass dirty and gin and tonic is 0% gin and 100% tonic.

bkkmfj2648 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I am heading over to beautiful Koh Larn this morning. There is a lull in the expected rain storms, so today appears to be a good day to go over to the island without any storm threat. 🤞 I will report back if all of this trash, from the recent storms that is washing up on the Pattaya beaches is also found on Koh Larn.

I will be making an update later (as the city of Pattaya has made a BIG change on the Bali Hai pier for obtaining a speedboat ride that I need to write about)- now my two 4 hands massage guys are coming to my place soon.

bkkmfj2648 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 ok, updates about: if there is/was garbage on the non-Pattaya City facing side of Koh Larn, new centralized speedboat ticketing system at the Bali Hai pier have been incorporated into the already existing 2022 trip report for Koh Larn here: enjoy. vinapu 1 Quote
