A lot has been written about the good, and I’m talking about the bad. The first thing a tourist encounters is a beach strewn with pine cones, cigarette butts, polytilene, lids, etc. The beach is not cleaned even near the sunbeds (prices for which are European - 200 baht per pair with an umbrella). It looks like tourists are just trampling garbage into the sand. Tourists may have taken out the trash, but where? I found a trash can just by the road (taxi service, by the way, there are still those bugs). I couldn’t find a shower¸ it’s good that my hotel is located on the road - I went there¸ I also went there for coconuts for 60 baht¸ on the beach - for 80 baht. Swimming underwater on this beach is extreme; holding your breath for 30 seconds may cause a scooter to appear above you. For the parachutist to take off, the runway is cleared on the water, and these parachute points are cleared along the beach like mud. In short, the Thais are also environmentalists. They created a bunch of national parks¸ and then they themselves shit in them (salary and all that). The only thing that made me happy was the exercise equipment installed on the beach near the road.
