Clean Hua Hin's beaches movement - Trash Hero

[Papaya]

The Clean Up Heroes are having one of their 'special' away days next Sunday 29th November from 8am until Midday:

Sunday the 29th we wanna join the clean up event in the mangrove forest park in Pak Nam Pran.

Maybe you wanna join? We need to organise transport. We will register the people who sign up, but we need to know before the 27th of November if you wanna join and if we can organise enough seats in cars. As soon as we know more we will update you through messenger.

The Thai text was put through Google Translate and this is a 'free translation' of it:

"The months of November - February of each year, are the monsoon season. The monsoon winds and high tides during the day, while the water rises, blow a lot of garbage and sewage up into many rivers and mangroves. Lots of garbage will be blown into the Pranburi river and mangrove forest. Some of it stays behind on the banks of the river or gets trapped in the roots of trees in the mangrove forest. This is a bad thing and it has a huge impact on the mangrove ecosystems and life in the mangroves.

This time, we invite everyone to join together to protect the Pran River at the mangrove forest, at the Sirinat Mangrove Ecosystem Learning Center. On Sunday, November 29, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
meeting place at Sirinat Rajini Mangrove Ecosystem Study Center.

Volunteers who wish to participate in this activity can register till the 27th of November to participate in this activity.

Contact for more details at 032-632255 or Facebook "Sirinat Rajini Mangrove Ecosystem Study Center".

What participants need to be aware of, and take care of:
1. Your clothes probably will get dirty and wet
2. Bring a hat, long-sleeved shirts, sunscreen, mosquito repellent
3. Get enough rest before
4. Mask
5. Bring lots of energy to save the world
See you!"

It looks as though the Clean Up Heroes had loads of fun on their Pranburi River away day today.

What is 02.jpg, some kind of squid light that washed in from the boats? They do look suspiciously stashed there though, so maybe the work of lazy beach litterers.

[Papaya]

Yes, stashed there, rather than work a few extra yards to the bins.

I don't normally post in this thread, but this afternoon I did the filming for the last in my series Kata Around Hua Hin. We are finishing with beach shoots, and we need to clean whatever bit of beach we use, and some are pretty disgusting. I took rubber gloves, and a big black dustbin bag to today's shoot. To prepare this small piece of beach, I completely filled my black bin bag in under 5 minutes. The entire 'small' area has probably at least a dozen more bin bags full of rubbish waiting to be cleared. I wonder why the Trash Heroes never visit this beauty spot, but concentrate most of their efforts around Khao Takiab. They are called Trash Hero, Hua Hin after all.

Anyway, this week alone, I've personally cleared 2 areas on Hua Hin's beaches and 1 at Had Sai Noi. I'm not looking for any accolades. I'm just pointing out our beaches extend beyond the Khao Takiab area, and maybe rather than moan about the state of the beaches, take a sack with you, and spend 5 minutes cleansing your own personal space.
