What, exactly, do they expect the authorities to do other than stifle their laughter?

Actually he just wanted to know where can he buy similar ultra thin ones that's why he's trying to find the owner

A Rubber Tree?

Pattaya has its own reputation for a very long time. It has been described as "The Heaven on Earth" for visitors. Further the Thai government have been openly giving away condoms to the public. However they failed to provide the privacy for condom users. Further hotels are also not an economical choice in view of the additional costs involved. So what can they do. They have to use the free condoms. May be the authorities should put bins along the walkway in the park so that it can be disposed properly from eyesight.

Do they mean "Buddha Hill"? The place is overrun by stray dogs. Do they mean people enjoy condom-requiring activities in the bushes of Buddha Hill at night? At what end? Near the meteorological station?

The municipality could place wastebins at strategical locations. And threaten to fine those not using them. Should be easy to identify them using genetical samples which are usually found inside a used condom...

Using genetic testing requires a data base. How well do you think such a collection of data would go down with the public? Some elderly farangs  had conniptions when asked to  download the Thai covid app

Put up a sign that directs them to toss them into a recycle bin. My guess it is immigrants with discount walkers or perhaps it’s a meeting point for the gay community as parks have been their thrill thing for years and years now.

And I thought I was being a cheap Charlie paying 400 baht for a short time room. I got some learning to do!

Doing the wild thing out in nature in the semi open can be extremely exciting. But I’m not thinking I want to be stepping on discarded tubes that squish and eject a slime under your feet when stepped on.

With the emphasis on the word 'bush'.
Perhaps the stray dogs are the culprits?

Put a bounty on the condoms... take them to the local temple and get paid.

Maybe it is the discarded filled tubes that are attracting the strays and their hunger issues. Sounds gross but those mutts will eat anything.

Provide appropriate bins, also for dog poo bags, something this lot have still to realise.  Its not rocket science is it? The park where i walk my dogs, albeit a private park, has hazardous waste bins that can be used for both purposes.
