Not only was someone on Soi Kophai too lazy to put garbage in the provided bins, Pattaya trash collectors didn’t bother to pick it up.
A large number of smelly, leaking black plastic garbage bags sat next to half-full bins Sept. 24, making putrid puddles and irritating neighbors.
A local taxi driver said the problem is a chronic one, fueled by an influx of new residents. They toss garbage around with little care for who will pick it up, he said.
