Fountain or garbage dump?

Warunya Thongrod

The Pattaya City fountain on Beach Road near Soi 7 used to be a symbol of pride. It’s now the shoreline’s biggest trashcan.

The landmark is being ignored by city workers, who seemingly don’t care that a beachfront garbage dump damages the city’s image.

Likewise, residents and passersby are showing their disrespect for others and disregard for the city by throwing trash into the once striking waterworks.
