forcebwithu Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Two months ago the mayor was blaming the garbage on beach vendors when in fact it's the locals dumping their shit into area canals and rivers which then empties into the sea at various points around Bangsaen Beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 See the same thing in the RP. Wife's village has a black sand beach, and with a bit of help from the locals to clean it up it would be cracking, the currents are fairly weak, the sea bed is sand so you can fish from there and it has a decent size. Sadly though the fishermen who live there also use it as a rubbish bin, toilet and treat it very badly. I really have a bee in my bonnet about plastic in the sea and pollution. I hate to see it and pics like that break my heart. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillow Biter Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Well we all know Thai's only give a shit about today not tomorrow . Pictures are no surprise . Big problem with plastic is it's virtually indestructible . Every piece that's ever been made is still here with us . With tons and tons more made every day . 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure laziness - I think - or, blatantly f**king stupid I see it all the time here in BKK ... a person could be standing directly next to a garbage bin and their garbage ends up on the ground ... and for sure, if there is no garbage bin around it ends up on the ground I cannot say all Thais do this -- but, it seems to me most ... at least in the city Edited July 5, 2020 by code_slayer_bkk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in Pattaya I usually take an early morning walk on the beach. I'm an early riser...it's quite pleasant in the morning. Good to stretch the legs after a late night horizontal folk dancing session. Fresh air, cool breeze, etc. ... (& the smell of petrol in the morning). Mostly quiet except for Chinese tourists loading up for Koh Larn...& it's before riff & raff wake up at the crack of 4pm. Edited July 5, 2020 by lazarus no way I'd ever go in the water, though... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my years going on and off to Patts .. I have never put my foot in the water .. not even in Jomtien .... and I am a sea-type of guy ... I also have only been north in Isaan 1 time -- I think the name of the place was Sakon Nakhon ... went up there to a gals wedding that I knew ... I was shocked ... the back yard of this place where they had the wedding was piled with all kinds of garbage .... I mean piled up ... And like you said .. loads of f**king garbage everywhere else I saw up there ... a gigantic turn off for me .. but, I kept my mouth shut and just endured ... As for me ... I never went to Patts for the beaches ... lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What all the guys say on here and as Butch says that plastic in the sea etc is heartbreaking. As Pumps knows we are not far apart when I am in the Boonies and watching the Isaan folk burn their rubbish and plastic and throw plastic out of their 4X4s. Those beach pictures make you want to despair .........mind you anyone see recent pics in UK of Bournemouth beach after sunshine and Liverpool after the Premier League win ....... we are not that much better especially the young in UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dongtan beach is my favourite though.Less people and vendors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 9 hours ago, Pumpuynarak said: This is what you call a beach, Thailand is no more than a shithole joke imo. I have to agree but Pattaya is a city that just happens to have a beach in front of it. It also has residents who don't give a flying monkeys what they do with their rubbish which ends up in the drains which no doubt ends up in the sea. It also has a city council that has done little to alleviate the rubbish situation or the annual flooding which takes place to the detriment of many. That is why many don't go to Pattaya for the beach but are happy to complain about it, we all knew that didn't we. The above beach and many like it in other SE Asian nations are reasons for many not going to Thailand although if in Thailand and wanting the beach as your prime focus then there are other areas to visit, just not Pattaya 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
