KRABI, June 18 (TNA) – A Frenchman and his Thai friend
have been applauded for collecting garbage off beaches in the southern Krabi
province during the COVID-19 lockdown.
The 24-year-old student, Nathan Sorin, has
taken an internship at a hotel in Krabi for nearly a year. He and his friend, Sirawit Chanchota, have
been collecting plastic waste at tourist sites in the past two months.
Krabi Governor Kitibhodi Prawit on Thursday presented the
two men certificates of recognition.
The Governor said the Krabi administration lauded the two
men’s volunteerism and awareness on environment conservation that deserved
public recognition.
Sorin said while doing the internship he had fallen in love
with the nature that southern Thai province had to offer.
After finishing the internship in a week time, he planned to
raise fund in his home country to help cleaning up beaches and marine parks in
Thailand. (TNA)
