Home » Reader question » Thailand question: Soi 102 in Hua Hin looks like a garbage dump, what to do?
Dear readers,
Hua Hin, Soi 102. Recently, the last part of Soi 102 looks like a public garbage dump. It started with some garden waste, but in the meantime bags of garbage are dropped along this road every day. Rats and other vermin come here.
Nothing seems to be done in terms of removing this filth. For example, is there a possibility to address the municipality about this? If so, does that have an effect?
Regards,
WM
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Every communication has an effect, positive or negative.
What do you want to hear now?
Own initiative is non-existent and if I approach the municipality as a foreigner, will they immediately mobilize the country to solve my problem?
Well, I don't want to say mobilize the whole country, but if something is asked of the tessa track here in the village (or in my case just outside of it), action will follow the same day.
And then you can choose to pull the village leader's coat or call the office directly, but something is usually done the same day.
At first I was very surprised about that, but you get used to it quickly. If there is something now and we report it in the morning, I ask in the afternoon: haven't they come yet?
Well, as with everything in Thailand, there is little or no control, and if one controls, one only gives an admonishing finger, or they point it at guest workers.
I don't see it changing immediately, other STIs are also victims of it, very sad and very bad for tourism!

Not only in Soi 102. This problem is, to a greater or lesser extent, all over Hua Hin.
However, Hua Hin wants to express itself as the pearl on the Thai coast.
But indeed…. What are you doing as a Farang? Nothing if you ask me.
As Farang, we can only lead by example.
I sort my waste at home, always have something in my car to take waste home with me, etc.
As far as the Thai is concerned, I think education plays a major role.
The school should lead by example in this regard. Under the motto “children educate your parents”.
Here is the consideration that education is still a Roger problem than litter.
But that is fodder for a separate discussion.
Thanks for response.
I understand that we as foreigners can't do much about that, but many farang have a Thai partner, gardener or housekeeper. help and maybe he knows how to adjust that.
This is a real danger to public health, a bad thing for tourists, and you will live nearby and be bothered by the smell or vermin.
Unfortunately it is not only in Hua Hin, it is everywhere in Thailand, there are no collection points, no waste collection service at my house, they stopped three years ago.
The advice we received was to keep plastic separate and set the rest on fire.
What seems to work very well is “shaming”
You contact local media or, if necessary, Bangkok Post, the Thaiger or any other media event and tell your story there. People in Thailand seem to be quite sensitive to it.
