The “Colorful East, Color Your Life” tourism fair sponsored by four Eastern Seaboard provinces left a colorful mess on Pattaya Beach for city workers to clean up.
The Pattaya Health and Environment Office required two sweeps along Beach Road to remove the garbage, retail debris and toilets left behind by vendors and shoppers at the Aug. 2-5 festival. About 30 workers hit the street on the fair’s final evening, then returned the next day to pick up after stragglers.
City workers clean up the usual mess left behind by still another big event on Beach Road.
Officials from Chonburi, Rayong, Chantaburi and Trat launched the 5th Eastern Fair to showcase vacation spots from Koh Chang to Koh Larn, Koh Samet to Koh Kood.
Worker Lamduan Techaso said the city used two trucks and 10-30 employees to sweep up the mess and remove public toilets. The refuse was sent to the city dump and recycling centers.
