Mr Narongchai said the beach has become progressively dirtier as a result of marine debris and tourists dropping litter. The five-kilometre-long Bang Saen beach on average welcomes around 1.2 million tourist annually who leave around 2.5 million tonnes of waste per year, or around 7,000 kilogrammes per day.
