A tour guide was shocked after finding plastic pollution floating in the sea when he went out kayaking at a popular destination in Krabi, southern Thailand.<br /><br />Tawich Suwanpiam had paddled out his kayak from Kho Ngai island into the sea during his free time on Monday (22/06) afternoon.<br /><br />After paddling several metres away from the shore, the tourism worker was greeted by an disheartening amount of garbage in the water.<br /><br />His leisure time was spent collecting the trash and rowing with it back to the beach for it to be properly disposed of.<br /><br />Tawich said this was not the first time that he encountered pollution in their beautiful waters.<br /><br />He said: "I reckon most of the garbage floats over here from Malaysia which is just across the border. I have been doing this for over six years now since I worked here."<br /><br />Tawich believes that the tide pushes the plastic pollution over to their area during monsoons.<br /><br />He said: "I decided to collect it back to the shore as I worried that they might harm the sea creature so I collected them back every time I found them."<br /><br />The ocean lover encouraged locals and tourists to help cleaning the beaches so that they are preserved for future generations.
