sbk Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes, I heard about this a few days ago. It cleans the beach. I wonder if it gets all the cigarette butts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We could certainly use a sea-based version of this machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a real family beach Well, sorry, but it's the frigg'n reality! Never saw a needle on Lamai beach, just lot's of garbage and broken bottles.... With what the hi end resort charge they should pass the cleaning machine every hour, but 2 days a week will leave the beach in a very nice state.

seville Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Green Cross was trying to raise money for that machine. I wonder if it was them. Hey maybe they did buy it with some of the money for the entrance from Samui Party goers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimex Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Okay this is what we found out after talking to Mr. Boonsong from Phangan Bayshore. This this machine comes from the new Haad Rin Tourist Association it was built for 150,000 THB and picks up just about everything (but not cigarette buts). The association is also hiring Thai services men for security during Full Moon, an extra 1000 soldiers patrolling the party. Little too late? Or just what is needed?

Samuian Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 does it clean out the smell of kerosene? haad rin beach smells like the runway at a busy airport. That is residue spill overs from the "Fire-Artists", doing their Shows and the many kerosine torches, "vulcan lights"... yes very, very bad for marine life!

samuibeachcomber Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 either way its a step in the right direction and everyone concerned should be given a pat on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The beach cleaners I have seen in action are very big and pulled by a tractor. The one in KP looks like it will take forever to pass over the entire beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
