am reading the piece on MFP now, also read a great, extremely extensive piece about it from Andrew M M (won't say his whole name, you know why, just in case); it enrages me what the dinosaurs are doing, and i'm sure that increasing numbers of Thais are also enraged about this as well, it is so obvious that democracy is being thwarted!

it's a shame about the trash, garbage, marine/fishing deritrius, etc in the sea, an escalating condition!

when i first moved to Lanta Sept 2009, there would be just 1 or 2 days during the worst, most severe storms during low season would cover our beach w/all sorts of trash, mainly plastic; our neighborhood beach, Klong Khong, was particularly susceptible (more so than Klong Dao, Long Beach, etc) because of the rocks hugging the shore (which also gave us spectacular sunsets thanks to tide pools!) by my 5th year, the trash would come several times, often being swept partially- but not totally- away by a tide only for the next tide to deposit more- and be washed further up on the shore... instead of a few days/season, it became several- often 1/2 dozen- occurrences of a week or more each season!
