Choking on garbage, Koh Larn to get its own landfill

KOH LARN:--Pattaya officials are proposing building a landfill on Koh Larn, where broken sanitation trucks and suspended ferry service has left the island choking on garbage.

Koh Larn Village Chief Bunchert Bunying complained to Pattaya Permanent Secretary and city council Vice-President Sanit Boonmachai Jan. 10 that more than 200 tons of garbage has piled up on the island since New Year because three of four trash trucks are broken and the city stopped hauling away refuse by barge.

Why is it that Thais never seem to be able to handle their trash. Making money yes.. but paying for good trash disposal is an other thing. I bet he people enjoying the benefits of tourism don't want to pay for good disposal.
