PHUKET, Dec 8 (TNA) – Beach chair operators on Patong beach are ready to ensure tidiness and will seek permission to expand their service area from 10% to 20% of the beach in the high season.

Preechawut Keesin, who was re-elected as the head of the Patong beach chair operators’ community, said the operators were ready to protect the environment of the beach and organize activities for the purpose including garbage collection on the beach and in the sea.

 

His group would also propose the expansion of green areas with beach plants to protect coastal soil from erosion, he said.

Protect their turf more like.

Beach wars are looming.

If it wasn't for the beach traders who do you think will pick up the plastic waste and general flotsam that gets washed onto the beach after each spell of bad weather?

 

The section of beach I use at Nai Yang is kept in immaculate condition by the sunbed guy, and he is not an isolated example.

Waste is picked up by employees of the local government in other parts of Thailand.

Yes, you are right, and I have seen them do it on Patong beach, but not any others on Phuket.
