Chon Buri’s Dr. Chawinkraiwit Singthotong Tackles Illegal Waste Dumping with Eco-Justice

In the vibrant region of Chon Buri, a saga is unfolding as firm hands of justice come down on a Chinese company embroiled in a bout of illicit activity. It seems that the company was caught red-handed, taking part in a very unseemly pastime – illegal waste dumping. The scene, picturesque Moo 2 in the Nong Chak subdistrict of Ban Bueng district, was tarnished with heaps of waste, sparking the vigorous response from the area’s guardian, the Mayor of Nong Chak subdistrict, Dr. Chawinkraiwit Singthotong. His solution? Genius in its simplicity – turn back the clocks and return the waste to its sender, right at the doorstep of the offending factory.
July 24, 2025, marks a key moment in this tale as Mayor Singthotong inspected the grotesque mountain of waste. Local murmurs had pointed their fingers at a food vendor associated with the factory, suspected of this environmental heresy. And so, the mayor, carrying the weighty concerns of Moo 2’s grief-stricken residents, boldly marched into action. Municipal minions, armed with resolve and a mighty truck, hauled the offending debris right back where it originated. A fitting return to sender, no doubt.
Our tireless truth-seekers, those ever-curious local journalists, flocked to the municipal office, hungry for details. Mayor Singthotong, with all the resolve of a heroic protagonist, confirmed his vigilance towards the issue. The illegal antics had not gone unnoticed as surveillance and community whispers had reached the mayor’s attentive ears. The delicious twist? The finger of blame landed on a food vendor who caters to the ravenous appetite of 15,000 factory workers. What a massive beast it seems, this throng, creating an ever-growing mountain of waste, begging the question of disposal. But, alas, throwing caution and regulations to the wind, the vendor disposed without the municipality’s consent – an act defying the sacred public health vows of 2017 and the cleanliness edicts of 1992.
The resolution? The mayor, wielding the power of unity, plans to summon the vendors, lighting the forum of dialogue to concoct a strategy that delivers order from chaos. A summoning to solve this waste conundrum, a tale reported by the intrepid KhaoSod.
The echoes of illegal dumping resonate beyond Chon Buri, navigating through the annals of law enforcement as officers uncover a shadowy dumping site in Prachin Buri housing a staggering 8,000 tonnes of waste. Here, law and order steps deftly into the ring, led by Industry Minister Akanat Promphan’s “Sudsoi Team,” uncovering a vast criminal network in their wake.
In the broader tapestry of Thai news, stories weave a picture of a nation bustling with drama and tales. From agriculture ministers comforting flood-hit provinces to heroic rescues from blazing infernos. From mysterious deaths stirring a mother’s fight for justice to playful ventures like the Coral College Project fostering sustainable tourism. A vibrant mosaic painted with strokes of glory, sorrow, valor, and justice.
And there we have it, dear reader, a narrative of action and consequence, a tale where environmental vigilantes rise to the call of justice, ensuring our lands, brilliant with the hues of life, remain unspoiled. The heart of Chon Buri beats with a fierce rhythm, and its people stand watchful, vigilantly guarding their precious homeland.

    Dr. Chawinkraiwit is doing an excellent job returning the waste to the sender. It’s poetic justice!

    • SkepticalSam July 24, 2025

      Sure, but isn’t just returning waste a temporary solution? It doesn’t solve the root cause.

      • EcoWarrior200 July 24, 2025

        True, but it’s a bold statement that sends a strong message – maybe enough to deter further dumping.

      • LogicalThinker July 24, 2025

        While it’s impactful, a more sustainable long-term plan is necessary to address systemic issues.

  2. GreenFuture23 July 24, 2025

    It’s a shame that illegal waste dumping is still happening. This company should face a significant fine!

    • Richie R July 24, 2025

      Fines alone won’t change their behavior. The entire sector needs stricter regulations.

    • GreenFuture23 July 24, 2025

      Fair point, stricter regulations and regular checks would definitely help curb repeat offenses.

    • EcoExpert88 July 24, 2025

      We also need to educate factory workers and vendors about the importance of proper waste management.

  3. Bob the Builder July 24, 2025

    This situation in Chon Buri is just a small part of a global crisis. We need global cooperation!

    • LocalResident7 July 24, 2025

      While global cooperation is important, local actions can still have significant impacts.

    • PessimistPete July 24, 2025

      Honestly, humanity is doomed. No amount of global cooperation will fix things.

  4. NatureLover123 July 24, 2025

    I think returning the waste is genius! Make these companies feel the impact of their actions.

    • Jack July 24, 2025

      Agreed! It’s about time they face consequences for their reckless behavior.

      • NatureLover123 July 24, 2025

        Exactly, maybe it’ll wake them up to their responsibilities!

  5. Vivian V July 24, 2025

    What a brave move by Chawinkraiwit. I hope other regions in Thailand follow this lead!

  6. SundownCitizen July 24, 2025

    Fighting waste dumping is a tough battle, but communities united can make a difference.

    • PracticalPete1 July 24, 2025

      Community involvement is key. We can’t rely on the government alone to solve these issues.

  7. Tasha July 24, 2025

    What about the waste in Prachin Buri? 8,000 tonnes is mind-blowing!

    • InTheKnow50 July 24, 2025

      The Sudsoi Team is investigating, but it’ll take time to bring the criminals to justice.

    • Tasha July 24, 2025

      I hope they make quick progress. That’s a massive health threat!

  8. DespondentDanny July 24, 2025

    Sounds like the government will just sweep it under the rug, business as usual.

  9. EagerBeaver1 July 24, 2025

    Props to Mayor Singthotong for being proactive! Would love to see this resolve peacefully.

  10. SustainableSue July 24, 2025

    The dialogue with vendors seems promising. Collaborative strategies could be the way forward.

    • HopefulHarriet July 24, 2025

      Definitely! Proper waste management should be a partnership between the government and businesses.

  11. Andy511 July 24, 2025

    I’d like to see strict penalties for those responsible for waste dumping. Let’s make it hurt their pocketbooks.

  12. OldManYelling July 24, 2025

    Back in my day, we didn’t have such issues! Where’s the accountability nowadays?

    • Maya July 24, 2025

      Times have changed, but accountability is still essential for progress.

    • OldManYelling July 24, 2025

      True, just feels like folks need a good reminder to do things right.

  13. TommytheTerrible July 24, 2025

    Why isn’t there a harsher punishment for the illegal waste dumpers? Jail time would scare them off!

  14. Woke AF July 24, 2025

    Dr. Chawinkraiwit is a legend! We need more leaders like him to make environmental justice a reality.

  15. OracleOlga July 24, 2025

    Without proper support from higher-ups, this is just a temporary fix.
