Banglamung District will deploy officers to regulate parking and stop littering on a Pattaya-area beach popular with Thais.
Banglamung Beach, off Soi Banglamung 16, is far off the beaten tourist track, but a popular destination for Thais on the weekend hunting for clams and relaxing under the trees.
However, after a local cable television show was inundated with complaints about litter on the beach and unregulated parking, the district government was forced to act.
Deputy District Chief Narathip Fukruk said June 8 that “no littering” signs will be posted that threaten violators with fines. In addition, officers will be deployed on weekends and holidays to corral the chaos that has become parking at the beach.
Vendor Preamika Pleumarom said June 4 that merchants do their best to pick up litter before leaving the beach for the day and the district picks up the bins. However, she wanted to see “no littering” signs posted and regulatory officers patrolling the beach, writing fines to those tossing food containers and plastic bags on the sand.
