Beach Garbage after paying 200 BHT Phuket

What is the complaint here? Is is that you were charged 200 baht or the fact that the beach is covered with rubbish.
All beaches in Thailand are public so you should not pay to be on the beach but I guess that a land owner can charge to access a beach across their land. The land owner is not going to clean the beach.
I am guessing that the wallowing in garbage was an exageration.
I do find the term whites having to pay 200 baht racist though. Was it really whites or just non Thais?

Any good resort WILL clean the beach in front of them. They pick up the garbage, rake the sand. If we ever find broken glass on a beach, we pick it up. Annoys the hang out of me. Imagine what would happen if a child stood on a piece.

Part of Nai Yang is National Park, guess that's where the entrance fee comes from.

Yes, you would have to clean up the beach daily, in particular now with the beginning of the South-West Monsoon.
I have cleaned up a little beach (national park, too) just a few days ago and the next day there was already quite some trash back on the shore. While hotels often clean daily national parks often don't.

Yes exactly it will be washing in daily but I hardly think paul holmes was wallowing in it. I have also spent many and hour clearing litter. All those plastic bags and rice sacks are the annoying things. They get a bit of sand in them then there they stay getting buried deeper and deeper each time it is washed over. I go armed with a small spade to dig them out . The beaches that I go to are purely public, no huts or bars or anything so nobody to clear anything up but they are no where near as bad as the op is suggesting so why was this beach as bad as he described it? I have seen beaches with more litter after a public holiday so may be the two days holiday this week was something to do with it and it hadn't been cleared up yet. I assume that this issue is not unique to Thailand though.

but I hardly think paul holmes was wallowing in it.

Well I think he could well have been, no reason to make it up. I once had a few hours to kill waiting for a flight out of Phuket, so hopped into a taxi to one of those north-west beaches. It really was strewn with rubbish. The rainy season washes up all sorts of debris and clearly it was obviously accumulating from day to day.

I'll go with there was a build up of rubbish, it is the start of the monsoon, but not wallowing. If Paul was so aggrieved I wonder if we can see some photos.

"I do find the term whites having to pay 200 baht racist though. Was it really whites or just non Thais?"

Technically it's nationalist but when Chinese who can speak Thai get the Thai price then it is racist. But anyone who has travelled around asia knows asians are amongst the biggest racists in the world.

"A very poor show from Thailand, hardly paradise"

This happens a lot on quiet areas. Ko Lanta beaches are covered in trash in low season. Thai fisherman through rubbish anywhere and hardly anyone bothers to clean. I once told hotel staff about the trash in front of their beach resort and they spent 5 mins picking up things then gave up. Pathetic.

Sad to know that some of the best beaches in Thailand are deteriorating.
