Tourists flock to Bang Saen Beach to see rare clear water

Many tourists swarmed Bang Saen beach on Sunday after a photo of a clean beach and clear water was posted on social media. The beach became crowded again after a long silence.

When winter arrives, breeze normally pushes garbage away from the shore, making the water clear until the beginning of the next year.

A tourist said she had never seen such a clean beach and clear sea at Bang Saen before, while a Somtam salad vendor said she hoped the sea stayed clear like this, as all her spicy salad was sold out thanks to the tourists who appeared in droves.
Meanwhile in Songkla on the same day in the afternoon, Governor Jaruwat Kliangklao led military officers, administrative agents and locals in 20 boats to collect garbage from communities around Songkhla Lake.
