Pattaya authorities rush to repair and protect long-neglected public beach showers after repeated vandalism. PATTAYA, Thailand – After months of waiting, some of the city’s most basic yet essential public amenities are finally receiving prompt attention from officials. Pattaya’s Deputy Mayor, Manot Nongyai, along with city staff, has accelerated efforts to repair and safeguard the three public shower points along Pattaya Beach. These facilities, crucial for both locals and tourists to rinse off after beach visits, have suffered repeated vandalism and theft, including missing showerheads and damaged taps. “The public showers and surrounding infrastructure are simple but much-needed amenities,” Deputy Mayor Manoch said. “Since the beautification project along Pattaya Beach was completed — covering 2.7 kilometers and adding greenery, parking spaces, toilets, and these shower points — users have reported frequent damage and theft.” Due to ongoing vandalism, the city was forced to temporarily close the showers. The recent repair effort includes installing new showerheads and taps and assigning beach umbrella and sunbed operators to help watch over the equipment. The showers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Officials are urging both residents and visitors to respect and care for the public facilities to ensure they remain usable and welcoming for everyone. This action shows that while some issues in Pattaya have lingered for a long time, city authorities are now working swiftly to improve even the smallest details that enhance the visitor experience and daily life in this popular beach city. Simple requests answered: Pattaya reinstates public showers with new safeguards and urges community care. City officials and operators team up to preserve essential beach facilities, improving visitor experience in Pattaya.
