Factory workers process electronic waste in Lat Krabang, outside Bangkok, Thailand on May 24, 2018. A factory processing electronic waste is visited by police in Lat Krabang, outside Bangkok, on March 24. "The companies that we have filed charges against don't have a quota to import even a single ton of electronic waste," Mr Wirachai said. "Especially after China's ban, Thailand could become one of the biggest dumping grounds for e-waste," said Penchom Saetang, director of Ecological Alert and Recovery Thailand (EARTH). Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha vowed this week to step up nationwide inspections as part of a plan to combat illegal electronic waste.
