Trash bins on Pratamnak Hill have been left uncollected until the waste inside turned into a rotting mess.

The smell of stinking refuse filled the air around the Pattaya viewpoint Feb. 7, leaving the hordes of tourists who visit the air squinching their noses.

Clothes dealer Nattanuch Rathiparotaikul she worked the viewpoint for 20 years and has watched as the number of tourists increased and city hall’s efficiency in picking up trash diminished.

The trucks that do come, she said, are so careless they spill loads of garbage into the street, making the scenic park look like a dumpsite.

She said city hall needs to clean up its act and keep its tourist spots tidy.
