The governor of Rayong led dozens of public and
private-sector workers and students on a cleanup of Mae Rampung Beach,
helping to beautify the province.
Gov. Senee Jittakasem organized the June 14 World
Environment Day event to remove garbage from the Tapong District
beachfront. Much of that garbage, he said, flows down from Bangkok and
other areas, wrecking Rayong’s public image and hurting the local
beachfront-restaurant business.
The governor also called on citizens to report
illegal dumping.
