Meanwhile Samui's growing pile of festering stench continues to be ignored (as does the festering corruption and overt incompetence that has allowed this to go on for so long...)

'Garbage disposal': he had better watch his step - otherwise an egregious mistake might be made and he might find himself tossed into the dumpster!

[Brer Fox]

PM Prayut has massive problems on his hands like the rice crisis which desperately needs sorting out, law and order and corruption. And here he is casually wandering around the country micro-managing issues like Bangkok footpaths, motor shows and rubbish dumps. It appears he has completely lost the plot and any sense of priorities.

Any photo's? Be interesting to see. Where I live near Don Muang airport, most back country roadsides are littered with garbage. Plastic bags, old mattresses, construction workers broken bricks, sand, concrete, broken furniture, styrofoam, household appliances, fridge freezers, broken fans, the list goes on. This junk literally covers the side of the road for miles and miles.

Back in my home country a few would dump their garbage on the roadside but if you got caught you would get into serious trouble with the police and local authorities.

No wonder there's rats everywhere in my area. At night the trees come alive. Rats jumping from tree to tree, running up and down the tree trunks, harvesting the rotten garbage thrown by the way side.

So he's going to tour garbage sites, although I don't suppose the rats are gonna be too happy, at least he's found his level

Only fitting when you consider all the garbage he's spouted

A Solid Waste Incineration Plant was built in 1997 for 501 million Baht ($13.5 million USD) through a joint Thai-Japanese venture involving Palcon Co. and NKK. It had a full capacity to burn 140 tons of garbage per day and could run at a minimum of 75 ton per day; at that time Samui only generated enough waste to run only one furnace every 10 days, with rest and maintenance days in between burning periods. The plant suffered frequent shut downs because of inadequate power supply in the island (then and, still, now) before finally breaking down altogether around 2000.

 

It has never been repaired despite frequent ultimatums by various PM's.

 

Since then, over 250,000 tons of of toxic, rotting garbage continue to pile up at the site. Rivers and ponds in the area are polluted, toxic and contaminated, while the plant itself has been left abandoned, the windows smashed and staff long gone. The latest brainwave is to cover it with canvas... http://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/koh-samui-municipality-use-canvas-cover-garbage-141052

LOL, no, no, no, .... He has his eye on the ball, ... his purge is going just fine, and so is the permanent installation of military control in government, thank you very much, everything else is window-dressing....

Hey we should have equal access to the PM to show him our festering garbage. We also have festering corruption and overt incompetence going on for to long. Yes the key word is MAY come. We are the wayward step child here waiting for a visit from daddy.

Why make a mistake.................................

The folks in Lam Lukka area Klong 3 have easily solved the problem of garbage disposal. They may have built houses on top of this by now.

Owww, stop tempting me to write my poetry again.

Tat lady, your driving me crazy,

my paradise island is a smelly garbage mess,

time you got a solution,

on toxic pollution,

that you and Prayuth can address.

 

There you see I never mentioned the term crack down.
