gk10002000 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 are there any garbage dumps or "mount Refuses" on Phuket? Where do the garbage collectors take the garbage? Is there a land fill? Do they just put the trash on a barge and dump it off shore as some countries are known to do? Seriously, does anybody have any first hand accounts of what the large scale trash disposal system is?

peperobi Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Strange always is someone else responsible for the disaster (now nature) never the humans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Same thing happens every year when the currents change- no biggy. Part of the huge 'plastic islands' that roam the world's oceans these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Quite sad that a bunch of local school students did a beach clean-up at Nai Yang on Saturday. They mightn't bother again if they see this article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffe123 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Nothing new here, when you dump all your garbage and sewage in to the ocean, it works great when the tide goes out but sometime you get it all back. Money for submarines and bullet trains but no money for garbage treatment/sewage treatment. Maybe they can put nets on the submarines to ketch the garbage.

uffe123 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 That will really impress, and bring in the tourist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakaty Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I bet they just bury it all under the sand. I have seen them do it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 We get "monsoon weather" 365 days of the year. Maybe they mean monsoonal rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Perhaps they really meant to say the SW monsoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
