It burns: Bang Saen’s foul waters hospitalize more than 100

Although tons of garbage wash up on the shores of Bang Saen daily, some people still choose to enter the waters of the once-popular beach resort.

More than 100 swimmers regretted that decision after being admitted to a nearby hospital on Saturday.

An “asphalt-like substance” was found along with the usual garbage on a long stretch of the Chon Buri province’s beach.

Authorities blamed a “foreign cargo ship,” The Nation reported.
