The village head of Bang Phli Yai, Mr Praphot Yaemprai, personally intervened in the early hours of 6 July to apprehend a group of individuals caught illegally dumping industrial waste along a roadside in his district.

 

Acting on a tip-off from concerned residents, Mr Praphot led a late-night inspection behind the Krung Siam Village housing estate in Bang Phli Yai Subdistrict, Bang Phli District. He was joined by local officials from the Bang Phli Yai Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and patrol officers from Bang Phli Police Station.

 

Upon arrival, the team discovered three men unloading large industrial-sized “big bag” sacks of rubbish from the back of a pickup truck. Among those detained was a Hong Kong national, along with a Thai and a migrant worker. The men were caught in the act of disposing what appeared to be factory waste, including oil-stained plastics and other industrial debris.

 

The Hong Kong man reportedly claimed he believed the area was a designated dumping site, as he had previously seen piles of rubbish there. He admitted to having dumped waste at the same location on four prior occasions.

 

Authorities informed the suspects that their actions violated the Public Health Act of 1992 and the Cleanliness and Orderliness of the Country Act (No. 2), 2017. All three were taken to Bang Phli Police Station for legal proceedings.

 

Officials confirmed that the waste originated from an industrial facility. An investigation is now underway to trace the source of the rubbish and to identify any companies involved in the illegal dumping operation. Authorities have vowed to intensify monitoring and enforcement to prevent further environmental violations.

Something like this should be grandly rewarded and heavily publicised

That's why he was doing it at midnight...

Chinese don't care about Thai laws, regulations, and rules......they fit right in here in Thailand. Chinese only care about China, everything else is expendable or of no concern to them. So the health of Thai people means nothing to them, as long as they are benefiting Chinese people.
