They came to bask on golden sands: But Pattaya tourists are surrounded by trash and ruin

Manager laid into Pattaya yesterday after a morning visit to Phra Tumnak Beach revealed a complete mess.

Tourists who had come from the other side of the world for their beach holiday were lying in washed-up and discarded trash.

The whole area was overgrown with weeds, grass and unkempt vegetation.

Litter was everywhere uncollected by the local authority.

Paths and sidewalks were in a state of ruin and hard to walk along.

A hexagonal shelter that once afforded protection from the sun lay in further ruins – no one had bothered to clear the site.

The CCTV was broken down raising security fears.

An emergency call box listing a 2310 number was run down and unusable.

Manager said the whole area – an important place for both Thai and foreign tourism – was an utter disgrace.
