A private company hired by Pattaya to keep Pratamnak Hill’s street clean is appalled at the amount of litter they are finding.

Employees of Napachot Co. said they are shocked that residents and tourists alike care so little for the wooded hill that they just toss trash everywhere, every day.

The company was hired by city hall to sweep streets and empty trash bins, so it’s fine collecting taxpayer money to do the job. But employees said the public should have more concern for the environment than what they’ve seen.

The trash problem is not only little, but garbage stealthily stashed in holes, sewers and bushes by street vendors, as well as sewage flushed out of tour buses.

All of it ruins Pattaya’s image with tourists and makes it harder to get the area completely clean. If everyone did their part, the entire city would look better, Nopachot workers said.
