The Keep Pattaya Clean initiative has been launched at the City Hall on Thursday by deputy mayor Khun Weerawat Khakhai. The scheme will be introduced to maintain the clean beaches, roads and avenues of the town plus to honour His Majesty the King.

More than 1,000 people from across the various departments of civic associations helped present the project that includes private companies’ participation, a centre for the training of new recruits plus employees and officials of Pattaya City Hall.

As one of the foremost tourist destinations in the world, it is commonly accepted that keeping Pattaya clean is an important task. This will enable it to build on its already fine reputation, create a good image for visitors and enhance the local economy further.

The resort island of Phuket has also initiated a similar scheme with marked success, with visitors over the peak Christmas period commenting that even popular beaches such as Patong and Kata have been free from debris and waste.
