Pattaya municipal officers and
over 50 private sector officers help collect trash and waste around the Navy
radio station foothills, as it is a popular tourism site and considered a window
of Pattaya to the world.

About 50 city workers cleaned up the litter-strew roadside near the Navy
radio station on Pratamnak Hill.
Sanitation director Suthee Thupnonghee led the Aug. 20 cleanup effort which,
residents said, was long overdue. Trash and litter had been piling up for
months.
Litter has accumulated despite the fact the city supplies four open trash bins.
However, the crush of tourists and residents on Pratamnak Hill has exceeded the
supply of proper rubbish bins.
The area, locals said, needs multilingual signs clearly prohibiting littering
and trash dumping. More frequent stops by city trash trucks would also prevent
the bins from overflowing.
