PHUKET: Residents and business owners in Samkong, on the northwestern outskirts of Phuket Town, gathered yesterday (Jan 14) to jointly complain to officials about the overpowering stench and health risks of the canal that runs through their bustling community.

Are they hunting now for farangs who filled their canal with all kinds of waste from their illegal food stalls and sweatshops?

What town in Thailand doesn't have sewer stench somewhere?

 

I lived near the klong Sean Seab, 21st floor and there were days when it reeks
