Bang Saen: Crystal clear water and no vendors - let's keep it clean says mayor Lek

 

 

A video published by Thai media showed the beach at Bang Saen.

 

There were few tourists because it was Monday and it was also very natural looking because it was a day off for the popular Thai resort's vendors. 

 

The media said the sea was crystal clear - you could see the sand. 

 

Mayor of Saensuk district Narongchai "Lek" Khunpluem said the water was usually clear at the end of October at the start of the cool season. 

 

It had come early this year.

 

He said that usually trash flows into the beach from offshore but there was none today.

 

He asked tourists to keep it that way by not littering at the beach.

Not to worry, Mayor Lek. You have the government on your side. No more dirty tourists.

Maybe a lesson to be learned there?

Sounds lovely.

Bang Saen is a tourist destination for Thais primarily; there are very few other nationalities visit it.

Sadly, the busier the beach gets the dirtier it gets. It is disingenous to to suggest rubbish mainly washes in from the sea.

Crystal clear? Another exaggeration. The Andaman Sea is far away from this beach.

I worked at Burapha University for a year.  Students would try to entice me to go swimming with them and even though I showed them many "nasty" things floating in the water, feces, used condoms, female "hygiene" things, amongst others, they would still swim and ride on the banana boat.  Many later would complain about being sick and report in with a medical certificate to explain why they could not attend classes.  Also, no mention is ever made in the media about the ships which ply their way to and from Bangkok to places unknown that discharge their waste and bilge into the water and who knows what that contains.  Much of that also gets onto the "beach".

'nuf sed.

He's a very pretty boy, I'm betting his wealthy family bought him the job.

Beach and sea looks nice.
