Wouldn't it be just brown?

Maybe they tried that already 

I also see 1 cig butt and 1 condom in the photo....why is no one their pointing !!!!!

I wonder how many of these places had sign up during construction "EIA approved"?

2000 baht fine?

Unfortunately, it is something that everyone does, what they have caught is a "culprit" that you have to present to calm public opinion, all the other culprits including the authorities remain unpunished!

Exemplary fine

Aren’t there building inspectors that have to check a building after it is completed???? ( meets building codes ... electric, plumbing, construction, safety) 

I guess not.

Yes on the larger developments there is supposed to be building control etc but what the Residence, and many others have since done is long after the building has passed all the required standards.....strange tho that the hotel says Kalim beach is a 4mins walkaway, long waste water pipe!

“I want this case to set an example,” she stressed. “Because such disregard of the law is unacceptable and irresponsible.”

Way to go. Slap them with a 500baht fine, that should teach them to behave.
