Locals complain about black, foul smelling wastewater at Phuket’s Bang Tao Beach

Last week Kamala Beach. Now it’s Bang Tao Beach. And all the same excuses from officials.

 

Local residents in the northern Phuket sub-district of Chergntalay are complaining about what looks like wastewater flowing across Bangtao Beach.

 

The Phuket News reports that Bangtao locals say black, foul-smelling water could be seen on the beach on Saturday, February 24.

Multiple khlongs with scheit water coming from hotels and new condo complexes. When all those tourists and condo peeps flush, where do you think it goes? The Bang Tao treatment plant? Whooooohoooohahahaha! Yep..........oh wait.....no

I saw many many large black sewage pipes being laid around Laguna lately.  New developments.  
 

Banana beach has them bypassing the waterfall and ending in the sea around the cliff where most people don’t see it. 
 

just across the bridge on the mainland side I saw black sewage pipes running right along the hotel property across the beach into the ocean.  Yum

Useless people, if the locals are complaining it must be bad.

What do they expect? with the amount of construction going on around the island, more people = more <deleted>

A water analysis should reveal reason of color. Walking upstream should reveal origin
