This is the off-season in Thailand. And the rain season. Tourism is low, and many resorts are closed. Consequently, the resort's beaches are not being maintained or kept clean. There is a huge amount of debris on the beach in Koh Kradan. I'm told that it improves in season. Much of the debris has formed a pattern similar to the tide, suggesting that it came in with the sea. However, it's completely unclear as to where it originated.
Comments and Feedback
I did not make a specific effort to count the pieces of debris in my first three surveys. I wasn't aware this was required. I noted mostly the types of debris. I estimated the number to my best recollection.
