webfact Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Wastewater runs freely into sea in Krabi By Kritsada Mueanhawong The Krabi provincial government appears to be attempting a ‘band-aid’ solution to stop wastewater running freely onto one of the most popular beaches in the region. For now, Krabi canal is releasing waste water straight into sea at Ao Nang Beach. Tourists in Ao Nang have reported that a catchment is being dug where waste water is freely flowing into sea at the famous and popular Ao Nang Beach. A backhoe was digging the canal on the beach in recent days.

It was proven how quickly the efluent from Clover Point is removed by the constantly flowing currents in that area, and sent out to the straits....the straits are usually ebbing out to sea mostly. Although the beach around Clover point isn't too nice for swimming. I have a feeling the Gulf of Thailand is a totally different kettle of fish...(sorry).

Started in 2017, the plant will be the first treatment plant for the greater Victoria area, which has a population of nearly 400,000. https://q13fox.com/2018/07/24/plan-on-track-to-stop-victorias-pumping-of-sewage-into-strait-of-juan-de-fuca/ Change can happen.

just bob Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've watched that creek go from clear water to stinking black sludge over the years. Unfortunately, the currents take that crap all along the beach in Ao Nang. If you go far enough north to escape it you are then gassed by the mob of the RaiLay longtails left idling, their diesel stink wafting in the onshore breeze. At least you have a choice; shit smell or exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
