Pattaya picked up after the huge crowds of Labor Day weekend with a May 3 beach cleanup.
City workers from six departments set out on Pattaya Beach at the Dusit Thani Hotel, walking the entire three-kilometer stretch, picking up trash and natural debris that ruins the image of the city and poses dangers to beachgoers.
Wirat Jirasripaitoon, sanitation director, said Pattaya Beach had been packed over the long holiday weekend and the trash and natural debris washed ashore had generated complaints.
Workers planned to hit Wong Amat Beach next and make regular patrols to ensure rocks and other natural hazards are removed.
