PHUKET:-- Cherng Talay Tambon Administration Organisation (OrBorTor) Chief MaAnn Samran today (July 20) warned people not to visit Bang Tao Beach amid fears people may be injured by broken glass among the slew of trash and debris that washed up onto the beach over the weekend.

 

“Please do not go to Bang Tao Beach right now. There is too much trash. Please go to Surin Beach instead,” Mr MaAnn told The Phuket News today.

 

“Tomorrow Cherng Talay OrBorTor officers will join about 30 Russian expats to conduct a mass cleanup along the beach starting at 9am and continuing until midday,” he added.

That's not him.

Just gross there is that much trash in the water.

 

You can clean the beach which is a start, however the water is extremely polluted.

That must be these advertising pictures from TAT in their high gloss brochure to lure all these High-Spending Chinese tourist into Thailand.

Usually glass that's been in the sea has all it's sharp edges worn off!
