(Photo by Methee Muangkaew)TRANG - A huge amount of garbage has washed up on the beach at Koh Kradan, a celebrated international destination for underwater weddings, raising fresh concerns about waste management on the tourist island. He said trash strewn along the beach badly eroded Koh Kradan's reputation and its attraction for tourists, and could affect the popularity of its world-acclaimed annual underwater wedding ceremony. Mr Nonthawat said tour operators, and tourists themselves, should help keep the island free of garbage. Tour operators who bring visitors to the island would be asked to take away their garbage, instead of leaving it on the shore.
