Pattaya finally cleaned up the mess it left behind after demolishing encroaching structures on Yim Yom Beach.
More than 50 city workers were dispatched to the Pratamnak Hill shoreline behind the Asia Hotel Aug. 20 to remove wood, concrete, glass and other debris left behind from the demolition of five shacks illegally built on the beach.
The city, backed by soldiers, removed the encroachments, then left the debris behind, sparking complaints and embarrassing posts on social media.
