Soldiers and the public joined to clean up Pattaya Beach.
National Council for Peace and Order 1st Corps commander Lt. Gen. Thammanoon Withi kicked off the Jan. 25 event on the beach at Central Road.
Banglamung residents wearing royal volunteer uniforms joined the general public and civic groups in collecting garbage, most of it plastic bags, plastic bottles and foam boxes.
Thammanoon said the event was organized to allow people to make merit by doing a good deed and to give Pattaya Beach a better image for tourists.
