How to legally dispose of garbage in Phuket.
“I’m quite frustrated whenever I check the news and see reps from local organizations, businesses and government offices who only seem to be concerned with with taking smiling group ‘selfies’ as part of their latest beach clean-up ‘public awareness’ campaigns.
