One of Thailand’s most senior police officers has ordered an investigation into an incident where a tractor was used to bury trash at a beach in Cha Am.

 

In his role as head of the Crime Suppression Division for Natural Resources and Environment, Deputy National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Roy Ingkapairote has ordered local officers along with Provincial Police Region 7 to launch an investigation after a video clip surfaced online which appeared to show workers using a tractor to bury trash on a stretch of beach next to a luxury hotel in Cha Am.

 

In the clip, the driver of the tractor can be seen filling a large hole with trash as three other people watch on.

The sad thing here is that these guys probably didnt know what they were doing is wrong.

Yep, definitely a world class resort.

Amazing.....

Then it is magically gone with the next tide...job done!!

The typical Thai-way of cleaning beaches, garbage is dig down in the sand, nothing new; however most of it is organic stuff as plants, leaves and seaweed, but unfortunately also some plastic and other real garbage...

 

100,000 thb for a cigarette butt, that's got to be billions.

Thats disgusting, depriving hard working thais of a job by using a tractor, should  burying it  by hand with shovels, appalled Phetcaburi

Joking eh , its  all  polystyerene and plastic  water  bottles, they turn up at the beaches by me weekends, huddle  under a tree then at the end of the day leave behind a sheite  load of this  stuff and  be "kind"  to the dogs leaving all the spare food  for them another frikking problem they create, so now you have dog sheite and plastic  all along the beach. Thai style caring for the environment. Best part, they dont give a <deleted>

Are they burying all trash that TAT has told over the year.

Beach surely not big enough.

And soon they will be wondering about the mysterious methane fireballs on the beach.

Dont shoot the Tractor Driver.

He was only doing what he was told to do.

Probably by the 3 Bystanders, and the one on the left in the photo looks like he may be a Copper.

Yes but he's asking local officers to do the investigation.....people investigating themselves usually tend not to find much.

The really sad thing is they probably DID know what they were doing and didn't give a damn.

There aint no hole big enough... 

I've suspected for years that all sorts of trash washes in from Koh Samet. I'd even go so far as to venture that all of those illegal enterprises on that island are taking the trash out to sea and throwing it into the tide. It's absolutely ruined Rayong and Ban Chang.

 

Another huge issue is fishing boats. Apparently there is absolutely nothing the Thai government can do to get these hapless fisherman from not throwing all of their garbage much of it quite dangerous like glass and syringes into the sea.

I doubt that to be true, any person with two connected neurons understands that burying rubbish close to a waterway/source/beach will cause the detritus to be washed into or leach into the water.

You'd be surprised............I have low expectations and seldom disappointed

Pol. Gen. Roy said the incident is a serious one as the actions of those involved not only damage the environment but also harm the image of country, particularly at the time when Thailand is preparing to reopen to foreign tourists.

 

Same but different, Thailands penchant for burying things.

When will they arrest the video poster for blemishing Thailand's reputation.
