Since Undaunted's post fails to comply with the new regulation laid down by Gaybutton, having read the article it is clear that the key point of the Pattaya Mail article is not that roaches have joined rats but that Pattaya City hall blames tourists as much as a locals for the infestation. Yet the problem is clearly a result of City Hall failing in its duties.
Kanrapa Mukdasanit of the Disease Control Department on June 13 blamed tourists and locals for the insect scourge by improperly disposing of their food, trash and other waste.

However, the cockroaches are nesting and swarming around putrid beach outflow pipes through which raw sewage has repeatedly spilled over the past year, clearly showing that Pattaya City Hall, not beach-goers, shoulders most of the blame.

Pattaya has battled in recent years against both an epidemic of rats and frequent sewage spills, both of which have spoiled the sand and sea and only amplified Pattaya’s long-running reputation for having a filthy beach.
Rats, roaches and raw sewage? To me it's a wonder why anyone goes near Pattaya's beach.

You caught that before I did. Had you not posted your response, then yes, I would have deleted it.

To put gay tourists fears to rest, there is no problem with rats and roaches on Dongtan beach. Enjoy the beach it's quite pleasant.

Yes - just heavily polluted water . . .

In case there is any confusion, Pattaya Beach and Dongtan Beach are not the same beach. Pattaya Beach is the city beach. Dongtan Beach is an extension of Jomtien Beach.
