Chonburi residents listen in to a lecture
about how they should keep their properties clean and tidy.
Chonburi city officials urged residents to dump trash
property, get junk off the sidewalks and trim their trees in an effort
to improve the ramshackle look of some of its 19 neighborhoods.
Chonburi Mayor Decho Khongchayasukhwat told 200 residents and
bureaucrats who attended the “livable city” symposium that Chonburi can
have create a better living environment for everyone by people tending
to their own properties.
Among the problems are garbage, junk littering gardens, broken furniture
dumped on sidewalks, overgrown landscaping and general sloppiness.
The city, the mayor said, needs people to take responsibility for their
own property even as administrators work to make Chonburi a more-livable
city.
One example of the city’s efforts, he said, was the Plee Pier Retro
Party held June 22-23.
The event featured musical performances from Big Ass, Ja R-Siam,
Yingyong Yodbuang-ngam, Maeng-po, and Cholthicha, and a comedy show by
Nong-Nui Chernyim and Rock Khao Pun. (CPRD)
