Our reporter walked down to Jomtien beach opposite Soi 11 to check on complaints by tourists that about 150 meters from the shore patches of dark fluid 100 meters wide could be seen and there was also a terrible stench.

 

Some said that the unwanted substance also caused irritation to the skin and a few said they had decided not to swim because of this.

Beach bench operators said similar excesses of sewage water had been seen floating in the sea many times in the past. They said usually the water was treated at the refinement plant before letting it into the sea.

However today it was obvious the waste water had not been treated and beach operators urged city hall to be more watchful from now on or tourists would get annoyed with the scenario and never return to Jomtien beach again.
