Waste disposal issue on Phangan

Koh Phangan is right now facing garbage waste problems!!

This can turn out to be really severe if someone doesn’t take the necessary action!

As the story goes the Thai Government made a plan to clean up Phangan island but somehow the process was stopped before the work was finished.
The idea was to hire someone who would take care of the problem and get rid of the garbage that kept filling up on Phangan.
This is a good idea and was of course progressed upon.

What ever happened in the middle can be up to anyone’s own conspiracy thoughts; all we know, is that the garbage never moved from Koh Phangan.
The lot of it was just relocated and are now sitting on a top of a hill on the way to Tan Sadet!
This is stirring up the locals at bit. They are beginning to get worried about this!
All of Phangans garbage rotting on a hill and might spread disease and poison everywhere!
It is becoming a toxic problem in the neighbourhoods and people might start to get sick!

What to do?

So far they have only managed to remove a small amount of garbage from the hilltop but far from enough or the whole lot at all!

The situation is complicated now and the locals have tried to get help from the government again.
Petitions have been in progress and people’s awareness has been raised, but not much has actually happened!

Now it is up to the people of Phangan to take the next steps to clean their homes!
