Additional Information
Tropical Storm Pabuk - east coast of Koh Tao hit the most which is where Lighthouse Bay is located and the storm hit the hardest. Also the week before was the full-moon party on Koh Phangan so a lot of the debris from the ocean possibly washed up along the coast of Koh Tao.
Sausages found raw in the package.
Plastic Bottles
Shoes/flip flops
Plastic Fragments
