This morning, May 22nd, staffers from the Patong Municipality cleaned up trash along the Patong Beach. The Patong Municipality has mentioned to clarify that this happens during this monsoon season (Southwest Monsoons).
It is normal that lots of trash such as wood, plastic bottles, broken fishing nets, and glass have been brought to the beach by strong wind and waves, according to the Patong Municipality. This is called ‘Monsoon Garbage’. This monsoon garbage happens every year during this time.
