Local vendors and tourism operators are angry as a popular beach in Chon Buri's Sattahip district has been covered in garbage from the sea for over a week, chasing tourists away.
On Tuesday, waves continued to wash huge amounts of garbage on to the Ban Amphoe Beach in Tambon Na Jomthian.
The garbage, including plastic bottles, foam pieces, bamboo and wood
pieces, has polluted the beach for more than half a kilometer, causing a
bad odour in the area.

Food vendors on the beach said they collected some of the garbage in the
morning and evening but more garbage has washed ashore each day for
more than a week.
They called on the authorities to step in to help clean up the beach to get tourists back.
