Hua Hin to dump their trash in Phetchaburi 115 kms away

Authorities in Hua Hin have been caught on the hop after the army at Thanarat Camp ended a 20 year agreement to allow their trash to be dumped in a landfill there. 

 

Deputy governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan Chamaiporn Amphaijit held a crisis meeting with her refuse teams to discuss the situation after the Pranburi area was told the army would forbid dumping from July 1st.

 

New TV reported that Hua Hin generates an average of 170 tons of waste per day, sometimes as high as 190 tons. 

 

The temporary solution to the problem is that the authority will transport the trash to a landfill operated in the Khao Yoi area by Ang Rungroj Co Ltd who charge 321 baht a ton for dumping on their 2,000 rai of land. 

 

But that is 115 kms from Hua Hin so the administration there are after a more cost effective long term solution that will not be beset by red-tape difficulties in dumping trash across provincial lines. 

 

The media said sources in the administration in Hua Hin are looking into the possibility of building a waste treatment plant that will convert the trash into electricity.

Don't hold your breath (unless you're  near the garbage pile)

There's hardly a need for a single dumping ground. I live outside Hua hin and know that there are multiple dumps located along nearly every road around me, and there is no charge for using them.

That'll take forever.. if ever.

They gave 7 days notice?

 

Something's wrong here, does the army often deliberately go out of their way to create potentially very serious problems for a large populated area just down the road from where they're located...

 

I have a feeling this is somehow about money

Nice setup for Hua Hin.

 

Im so glad I didn't buy land around there.  Thai garbage includes broken cell phones, car batteries, general toxins.

 

In few years the water supply for miles around will be deadly.  

 

Anyone close buy will have virtually useless land that nobody will buy.

Great job  by the Army. Great thinking to give such short notice

in Pattaya this would be almost all condoms. 

 

in Hua Hin mostly adult diapers.

I suppose that'll mean that there will be even more trash dumped along Soi 102 ????

Who’s a proper little ray of sunshine then ? 
 

Aside from that 10 years ago it was 100k a rai 5 minutes from town - now it’s 4-5 million!! and most water is from Pranburi not HuaHin apart from central ! So you’re talking garbage anyway, excuse the pun

There’s a dedicated dump near 112 where all the refuse trucks park overnight so where’s the panic ? 

[sammieuk1]

The sea is still free load it on a barge and ship it to Pattaya no one will notice ????
