How did Turtle Island, Thailand’s famous tourist attraction, turn into a garbage mountain?

Tourists saw a mountain of garbage on Koh Tao in Surat Thani Province, Thailand, and complained about the impact on the environment. Local islanders said that they began to be troubled by the garbage problem four years ago. They reported it to the relevant departments in the hope of solving it as soon as possible, but there has been no news, causing the garbage mountain to pile up higher and higher.

A tourist went to Koh Tao in Surat Thani Province for vacation and broke the news to the media, saying that there was a garbage mountain on Koh Tao, which was filled with all kinds of domestic waste and emitted a stench, which was harmful to the surrounding environment. The impact was so great that many sheep even climbed up the garbage mountain to dig through the garbage and eat it, damaging the tourism image of Turtle Island.

Turtle Island is one of the famous tourist attractions in Thailand. Every year, a large number of domestic and foreign tourists go there for sightseeing and vacation. There are also many water sports. It is one of the tourist attractions that foreign tourists yearn for.

Local islanders said that the garbage problem on the island has not been solved for four years, causing more and more garbage to pile up. Islanders have also reported this problem to relevant departments, but so far no action has been taken.

When there are no more tourists, someone will naturally take care of it.
