The viewpoint at Ekkachai Bridge connecting Phatthalung’s Khuan Khanun district and Songkhla’s Ranod district has become a garbage dump as trash left by travellers piles up – yet again.
Tourists from other provinces have been drawn to the area’s beautiful scenery of forest, farms and a lake along the two sides of the 6-kilometre bridge.
The trash problem has hit this tourist attraction several times.
Clean-up campaigns have been held to solve the problem but the area always turns dirty again as more and more tourists visit.
