The gardeners were out in East Pattaya, cutting back wild grass along the railway parallel road and Soi Khao Noi.
People had complained that the tall grass and bushes were blocking certain signs and the view for motorists, besides just looking tatty.
City workers took shears and mowers to the area between Khao Noi and Soi Khao Talo Nov. 13, tidying things up within two hours.
