Council chief blows a gasket in Facebook rant about littering tourists

The well known chief of the Bang Saen municipality has gone online to have a withering rant about tourists messing up his beach.

Narongchai Khunpleum – better known as “Nayok Tui” used his Facebook page to sound off about the messy tourists.

He appeared to be blaming the many Thai people who flock to Bang Saen, reports Sanook.

Posting pictures of the offending rubbish he said: “I see this every morning when I am out for my jog. Saturday and Sunday it is even worse. It is all along the beach. The tourists have no sense of shame.

“They have no thought for others. When they have finished they just up sticks and leave everything there. Even though there are rubbish bins five or six steps away. No education! No understanding about damage to the environment!”

“Nayok Tui” said he always sets a good example and stops to put as much litter in the bins as he can but he is fighting a losing battle.

He said he saw a group of youths drinking alcohol and eating on the beach. When he ran back on his run he saw they had left all their rubbish and some bottles were even smashed.

Continuing his rant he added: “This is so unfair on people who have to clear up the trash. And you know what? If they go up to these people and tell them not to trash the place they have been known to be assaulted for their trouble”.
