Original Toronto Star caption: The crowded beach at Pattaya; a popular resort in Thailand; is being used as a horrible example of unbridled tourist development by environmentalists and tourist officials in that southeast Asia country as they plan a new resort at Phuket Island; 400 miles away. Pattaya was a quiet fishing village with a single hotel less than 10 years ago; but then the developers and the hustlers moved in and today only the friendly elephant distinguishes the beach from any other at such resorts around the world.
