Letter to the editor – Filthy Samui

Dear Sir,

I never normally feel the need to put pen to paper, but after living here and seeing how dirty and foul the island has become this year I am really shocked.

Everywhere you go, on small roads, main road there are huge piles of rubbish.

Today I went along the main road from Bophut to big Buddha and saw these huge piles of rotting rubbish, the gutters full of old oil running into the drains, rats and dogs all over the place and this is what most tourists will see.

How can the council not do anything about this?I have enclosed some photos. I know the incinerator is out of action for years now, but this is a beautiful tourist island, but it looks more and more like a rubbish dump.
