Five years of commitment to keep Phuket’s beaches clean

CBBC celebrate 5 successful years, over 125 beach cleaning sessions since the initiative began

By Tanutam Thawan

 

  

Phuket’s Clean the Beach Boot Camp (CBBC) has been cleaning the island’s beaches for five years. Each two weeks, on a Saturday morning, volunteers assemble for a free beach workout from island fitness leader Krix Luther and then, in return, they put on their gloves, grab a big bag and pick up rubbish on the beaches.

 

Yesterday the team assembled at Kata Beach – volunteers from all over the globe turning out to help CBBC celebrate 5 successful years, over 125 beach cleaning sessions since the initiative began.

 

Yesterday, over 130 people of all ages and nationalities worked together and managed to collect over 20 bags of trash, most of which had washed up onto Kata Beach.

In Thailand 4.0 they will get a beachcleaning truck. They are working on it, made in Thailand so they don't  have to buy one made by foreigners.

Must be a joke. When they dump all the garbage and sewage into the ocean. Wait until the tide comes in. It's garbage and sewage time, get your rakes and shovels ready

Now why this a task for volunteers when we actually pay taxes to keep this society going?

Phuket people appreciate these volunteers. They do make a difference.
