Beach please: Pattaya tourists tide over by shocking litter crisis

Tourists at Pattaya Beach raised alarm bells over the shocking amount of litter strewn 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.

One resident lamented the state of the beach.

“It’s disappointing to see our beautiful beach in this state. We need to find out where this trash is coming from and address it immediately.”

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.”

Keeping Pattaya Beach pristine is vital, especially as it continues to attract tourists from around the globe. City officials are now under pressure to ramp up their efforts to ensure the beach remains a stunning destination for all.
