webfact Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 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.

London Lowf Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) 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.

Yes, you are right, and I have seen them do it on Patong beach, but not any others on Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
