Faustian Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 How gross? Sooooooooooooo gross! Pictures at the link. http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/august/news_28_08_52_3.shtml Health alert as 2km stretch of Pattaya Beach found to be covered in refuse. Pattaya, August 28 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : On Thursday Afternoon, we made our way down to Pattaya Beach following reports from Tourists that the beach was covered in a blanket of refuse, When we arrived we were amazed to see the amount of rubbish which had been washed up on the beach and was floating in the sea. There was also a large amount of wooden sticks which cannot be explained at this time. A 2km stretch of the beach was covered in the refuse but this appeared not to put off some beachgoers. We contacted Pattaya City Hall who were unaware of the refuse but promised us that they would send cleaners down to the beach to remove the waste. For now, we ask you to exercise caution and suggest you do not swim in the water off Pattaya Beach until the refuse has been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiHome Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 This is the beginning of what is known as the “winter monsoon†in the Gulf of Thailand. This causes a prevailing north-easterly wind to drive all the debris that accumulates in the Gulf to wash ashore along the Eastern Seaboard.
