snoop1130 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 More than 300 rally at factory over troublesome odour By THE NATION More than three hundred people in Ayutthaya’s Lat Bua Luang sub-district have assembled since Monday (January 6) at a factory giving off an unpleasant odour, requesting the facility to stop operations that are causing the acrid smell. The Zea Fee Industry factory provides an industrial-waste disposal service. The odour, which is produced during the vulcanisation process, has reportedly been a problem for local people for approximately six to seven years. People recently approached the Administrative Court, requesting an order for the factory to cease operation and “improve” the smell. The factory has itself appealed against the case, meanwhile continuing its operations. The unresolved problem forced locals to gather at the factory’s entrance yesterday (January 6). They decided to stay put there, setting up tents and mobile toilets and bringing in provisions. “If no negotiations take place, we will pressure relevant officials by blocking nearby roads,” one of the protesters warned. Stop Global Warming Association president Srisuwan Janya visited Lat Bua Luang to see the situation for himself. He later said he too would file a case with the Supreme Administrative Court for an order instructing the factory to cease its operations. One of the protesters said the odour causes burning in the throat and nose and is suffocating people who smell it. “One villager’s father died from an allergy caused by the smell,” he even claimed. “I want the factory to stop its production or stop producing that odour from today,” he insisted.

Popular Post Matzzon Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) One idea is to do like the foctories in other countries doing the same work. Install a system that takes care of the smell. 28 minutes ago, toofarnorth said: Not too sure about this , something smells a bit odd. Yes, thats what they all say. They even as far as saying it´s a troublesome odour. 37 minutes ago, DrTuner said: I thought Thais are used to the smells already. Stinky everywhere. Hope you are happy. Now you managed to fit in another negative post that regards the whole country out of this piece of news. I really do not understand why you bother about Thailand at all if it´s so bad.

I live no where near this company but experience this smell as locals get rid of their waste without paying refuse fees and temples burn stuff (including corpses) every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
