Jomtien Beach residents are complaining that a patch of open land on Thepprasit Soi 9 has become a magnet for illegal trash dumpers.
A huge pile of wood, leaves, bricks, broken cement, old spirit houses and other rubbish sits about 300 meters into the soi and is getting larger as private citizens, vendors and small businesses have decided the makeshift dump has become more convenient or inexpensive than disposing of their waste properly.
Illegal rubbish dumping on Thepprasit Soi 9 is out of control.
Worse, neighbors complain, city hall has ignored the problem, neither hauling away the waste nor putting up signs to prohibit illegal dumping.
They want police or city officials to crack down and end the garbage pileup.
