Polluted Maptaphut May 15, 2007

Filed under: photography, travel — janesjourneys @ 8:38 am

As some of you may remember that I used to work for Greenpeace SE Asia for about 2 months. During the time I was working there, I had a chance to visit a place called “Map Ta Phut”, an industrial estate in Rayong province.

“In 2003 Greenpeace took samples of wastewater from Vinythai and Thai Plastic & Chemicals at their point of discharge to the canal in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate as well as sediment from the canal. The results show contamination of a range of highly toxic and carcinogenic substances.”

I have some photos to show you…. I took these photos when I was there to do research on how many people effected from the pollution.


And not only human…who is suffering from the pollution, this little dog too!

Finally… I have internet connection from my new room in Soi Thonglor!!! Phew….
Thought I couldn’t use internet.. that’d be my worst nightmare!!

Anyway, I’m here now at my new room and back to the cyber world. Oh… for the pictures of my new room, you will have to wait for awhile. I promise you will see soon!! and you will see the same view from my balcony too! Our room is on 6th floor… and it’s in the nest of the city center. Peaceful but very close to everywhere!

Oh! I have a good news to tell you! I’ve been accepted to be new student of MIR10 , I will study master’s degree!

Hmmm… Time to go back to school!

Teachers! Beware! Here I come!
