PHUKET: A Phuket resort has been fined B10,000 for releasing untreated wastewater into a public drain that empties into the sea at Merlin Beach, south of Patong.

 

Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup confirmed to The Phuket News on Friday (Jan 24) that the resort fined was the Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa, on Muen Nguen Rd near Tri Trang Beach.

 

The fine followed an inspection last Monday (Jan 20) led by Provincial Ombudsman Athiwat Yodwan, accompanied by officers from Patong Municipality’s public health division.

It's a shame, only 10,000 Baht fine, a room for one night in this resort probably costs more!

Pathetic - quick search reveals a room rate of around 7,000 for tonight!

Pathetic yes - quick search reveals only what they advertise the rate to be, not what it would be in reality
