chownah Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Just returned from a short stay in Hua Hin and the beach had alot of garbage on it.....the beaches have always been clean before so I asked a local and they said that when there is a flood in Bangkok then garbage washes up on the beaches in Hua Hin. Is this correct?...if so then I will consider this in planning my next stay in HH....i.e. I'll plan to not come during or maybe a week after flood waters in Bangkok....opinions welcomed.

Chownah I think this is true for Central & northern Hua Hin beaches , yes. My toddler went paddling at the beach near Hin Nam Sai Suay one weekend & got a rash, which was (I think) connected with an oil refinery leak near Bangkok. However, the beaches south of HH, like Suan Son, etc., seem to be less exposed & less affected by Bangkok's dirty habits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 My former neighbor sent me photos of it. Doesn't sound half as bad as the one a year ago, which dumped horrendous trash, whole palm trees, flotsam, jetsam, and I think the Jetsons washed ashore, also.

taxexile Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i live on the beach near to hin naam sai suay ( northern h-h ), certainly no oil slicks to be seen and no flotsam or jetsam apart from the usual stuff that gets tossed of the fishing boats , jellyfish at this time of the year can sting and cause rashes , but the beaches around here seem pretty normal. the worst things are the broken light bulbs from the fishing boats , best to wear some kind of footwear on the beach or when swimming. a lot of stuff washes up in the khow takiap bay , mostly plant life and fishing boat litter , december and january are the worst times for that.

thaikunning Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 i live in chaam for the most of the year but i haven't seen anything like what you mention. the beach is still as "clean" as ever ... a little more wood yes, but the weekly cleaning day did his work (wedndays) no problem at all...enjoy your beach hollidays !!!
