Huge beach cleanup in Phuket: 100 helpers collect 645 kg of trash!
Following the severe weather conditions that recently hit Phuket, a major community effort at Nai Yang Beach has caused a stir. A massive beach cleanup began on November 16, 2025, organized by Skl International Phuket in cooperation with the Sustainable Maikhao Foundation. Over 100 volunteers, including local residents, students and business people, worked to clear rubbish and rubbish from the popular beach after the devastating effects of the typhoon and heavy rain.
Nai Yang Beach, known for its tranquil atmosphere and scenic beauty, was severely affected. The flotsam and plastic waste that had collected on the shore made thorough cleaning necessary. Bas van Straten, President of Skl International Phuket, was impressed by the high level of participation and teamwork that brought together all generations and backgrounds. Together, the helpers were able to collect an incredible 645 kilograms of garbage - 480 kilograms of which were recyclable, while 165 kilograms had to be disposed of in a landfill.
Reward for commitment
To reward the efforts, COLTS offered pony rides for the volunteers while they sorted the trash. This initiative should not only help in the short term, but should also be established as part of a coastal protection program in the long term. Regular operations during the monsoon season could make a significant difference to the environment and the appearance of the beach.
A place for relaxation and adventure
Nai Yang Beach, located just 3 km from Phuket International Airport, is not only a spot for cleansing but also a popular destination for sunbathers, snorkelers and water sports enthusiasts. The best time to visit this beautiful beach is between December and March, while temperatures rise in April and there is often a risk of rain from May onwards. With a range of accommodation options from budget options to luxury hotels like The Luna, there is something for everyone.
Beach activities range from kitesurfing to kayaking, and prices are fair - loungers cost 200 THB per day, for example. Those interested in learning about local culture can visit the Nai Yang Fresh Market or the nearby Wat Mongkol Wararam temple. Even if there are no clubs, you can relax in the bars with live music.
By carrying out such charitable actions and supporting the community, Nai Yang Beach shows the importance of preserving the beauty of nature and preserving the place for future generations. A great opportunity for locals and tourists to not only relax, but also to actively contribute to protecting this oasis.
The coming season will be exciting, and many hope that the initiative will raise not only the beach, but also environmental awareness in the region. Thailandsun reports on the comprehensive plans for sustainable beach care, while Fascination with Southeast Asia highlights the beauty of this beach.
