KOH SAMUI: -- Photos circulating on line of dirty and unsafe toilets at Pru Chaweng Park in Koh Samui have sparked enough public outrage that officials are considering moving the facilities.
Images of used needles, condoms and faeces went viral on July 5, after a user posted them on Facebook. The ten-toilet public restroom is located in a public park and falls under the purview of the Koh Samui Municipality.
The park is a popular destination for families and has a large field used for festivals and ceremonies.
Koh Samui Deputy Mayor Muensil Poonsawat said the municipality was aware of the situation, but that the blame rests with "teenagers" for vandalizing the facility at night.
