Garbage-strewn scene at Jomtien Beach after floodwater drains out to sea
Several foreigners still sunbathed on Jomtien Beach in Chon Buri province on Monday despite the garbage strewn across many parts of the beach following downpour-induced floods.
“When the floodwater drained out to sea, it brought along garbage. Waves then brought the garbage ashore,” said Santi Thianthong, operator of a beach-bed rental business.
Another operator, Chatwarin Wongthong, said the authorities should help clean up the beach, or else Jomtien’s image would be negatively affected.
