PHUKET: Patong health officials are trying to track down those responsible for releasing untreated wastewater into a public drain that emptied onto Merlin Beach, south of Patong, late last week.

 

Patong Deputy Mayor Boonma Aeapsap explained to The Phuket News that health officials were first informed of the wastewater emptying onto the beach last Thursday (Feb 13).

 

A delegation of Patong Municipality health officials went to inspect the site the next day, but were unable to identify the source, he said.

Plug it up with some concrete and let the source figure out a better way for drainage...

 

Block the pipe to produce a backflow, you'll see a spike of brown water in some hotel. Sure, the might pipe explode but <deleted> happens...

Same Old ….Same Old.....been happening for years and the same stock excuse

Welcome to our country tourists, a paradise of garbage, dirty water discharged into the sea, irrespirable air and crime in high growth!

Just another nail in the lid!

We tried to find them but they're too rich and influential and they got away we don't know where they went. 

Why would we expect anything less...

Bathing in most of the tourist beaches of Thailand have pretty much become like this.
