PHUKET: Local residents have yet again voiced their angry complaints about black wastewater – complete with a foul stench – fouling the tourist-popular Surin Beach, on Phuket west coast.

 

Worse, tourists have now complained of an itchy sensation from entering the water at the beach.

 

“This problem has been happening for years, especially after the structures were demolished for encroaching [on government land], Jamlong Sittichock, a 50-year-old local resident at Surin Beach and a senior consultant for the Surin Beach Surfing Association, told The Phuket News yesterday (Mar 18).

If the responsible people  for this are found , they should be forced to take a dive into this pool ....

Ah yes. Blame the destruction of the old illegal restaurants.

Thailand is the land of passing the buck.

Do not forget the land of passing the Baht too.........

If you read the whole article, it is a perfect reflection of the whole Thai society, the buerocratic system from the stone age and many problems of this country and why there is no progress in anything.

And is it being fixed ? No, all too busy passing the buck

Instead of calling it "black water" they should call it "poo-water" or "Toilet-water"...
