Phuket garbage pile photos go viral on social media (PHOTOS)

Photos of huge piles of rubbish piling up at the end of Chalong Pier in Phuket have gone viral on social media with people complaining about the sight and smell of the mounting garbage. But, so far, no government office has taken responsibility for clearing the rubbish away.

A reporter from The Phuket News visited the pier yesterday and said that as well as the rubbish being unsightly, it is also giving off a horrendous smell.

It was reported that a number of boat operators and locals have already complained about the issue. No representative from Chalong Municipality was available to comment on the situation when contacted.
