"i must be provided with solutions on how we can save the environment and tourism image,” Gov Norraphat added.

 

Yes please, we have to save the IMAGE!!!

 

Not worry about stopping the untreated wastewater discharge into the bay.

Not prosecuting those responsible for illegal sewage discharge.

Not hold the local environment/public health officials responsible for failing to do their jobs.

 

Please, quick, somebody write me a memo. Let's form a committee. Let's go on another inspection. Then get me another update.

 

How many ways can you say... hand job...

The Thai definition of a deadline from any Thai Public Servant means that we will all be dead by the time any action is taken.....

Pretty much guarantee that the collected sample will be swapped for a more healthy version
