RAYONG — A large amount of rubbish and traces of a slimy slick caused by plankton washed ashore on Mae Ram Phueng Beach on Wednesday.
Fertiliser bags, plastic bags and glass bottles were among the trash scattered along Lan Hin Khao, a beautiful viewpoint on the popular tourist beach in Muang Rayong district. It spread for a distance of about one kilometre.
The garbage was found along with a black slick said to have been caused by a plankton bloom phenomenon. Villagers spotted the rubbish in the afternoon and alerted authorities.
