Garbage piles up at Krathinglai sorting yard after Pattaya fails to reopen Khao Maikaew dump

PATTAYA:--Krathinglai residents again are pleading with city officials to do something about the putrid odors emitting from the city’s garbage-separation station.

More than 1,200 tons of rubbish have accumulated at the Soi Sukhumvit 3 facility after Khao Maikaew permanently closed the city’s main dump. Pattaya officials said they began looking for a new landfill site in September and have left the refuse to rot in Krathinglai since, infuriating neighbors.

Pattaya City Councilman Amnuai Somphongtham, who represents the neighborhood, said Krathinglai’s village chief sent a letter to Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome complaining about the increasingly foul odor emanating from the yard and promised, once again, to knock down the smell.
