webfact Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Paradise lost: Thais slam air pollution and trash for spoiling idyllic southern island Thai Rath reported that Thai tourists visiting a little known southern island were left thoroughly disappointed. Pongsri, 51, and Daojai, 48, were visiting Koh Sakorn in Trang. They expected a beautiful sunset and a clean beach. They got polluted haze and a stretch of sand covered in trash. Pongsri said the island could be beautiful but the air pollution and the rubbish had left her disappointed. Daojai said that she wanted to recommend the potentially beautiful island to friends in her home of Phattalung - but something needed to be done about the air quality and the trash before she would do that. A three minute video showed some of their experiences.

30la Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This is the situation in the whole of Thailand, until no one feels responsible for the illegal fires, illegal dumps and the lack of education on the environment, the situation will worsen considerably! Information for the tourism minister, here are two of the many reasons why tourists do not come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Gotta agree that the air pollution sucks but I didn't see much, if anything, of trash on the beach, you need to check out Pattaya for the complete experience ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazar Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Palm Oil used for biofuels , promoted as such encouraged to use as such, Thailand grows much also..stop using bio fuel problem of palm oil is gone but probably switch to sugar cane or such, theres no easy answer. Recently asked to not burn my pineapple fields and complied..............some locals (Thais) have not and will burn at night on the advice of head of village. Most of the problems is in Thai hands.

I live in the North of Thailand. Much of the burning comes from the Thai side. Other nearby countries are also burning . I really don't know where to move as seems everywhere in Thailand has air pollution. Where do you think the cleanest air would be ? Also. are you and your friends starting a campaign to stop all this destruction that is ruining Thailand (and many other neighboring countries) ?

Tropposurfer Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 see that photo of kids with masks on. That will become the world's reality sooner than we think.

BTW (in case you didn't know that means by the way) you make some comments when somebody here said it didn't like Thais but you use a most stronger word by saying, I quote you """ I hate this people """ so you have the right to hate Indonesians but some don't have the right not to like Thais, hummm you are quite interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Thai people are not to blame for polution in Thailand ? ???? Most of the air polution in Thailand comes from Thailand. This is not only a problem in Koh Sakorn. And it's not only air polution. The seas are so polluted by the discharge of unfiltered sewage water and the dumping of plastic waste that you cannot swim there anymore. It's a shame, but Thailand is the dirtiest country I've ever visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
