Pattaya's Public Spaces in Disarray
Pattaya, Thailand, once a model tourist city with clean beaches and orderly streets, is now struggling with disorder in its public spaces.
Sidewalks meant for pedestrians are now occupied by motorcycle rentals, illegal food stalls, and junked vehicles, while green areas are being taken over by the homeless and vendors.
In Jomtien, municipal officers recently found unlicensed tents set up along Jomtien Second Road, apparently for unauthorized selling of goods.
Pattaya's public spaces are increasingly being swallowed up by disorder.
