CHON BURI: Koh Lan, the popular resort island off Pattaya, is being struck by water lack due to a a great deal of everyday visitors.

He stated the variety of Thai and foreign travelers checking out island is now about 10,000 daily. The island is provided with about 300 cubic metres of cured water daily by Eastern Water Resources Advancement and Management Plc (Eastwater), which is far from sufficient to satisfy need.
Organization operators on the island have actually turned to purchasing cured water from personal providers, which provide it from the mainland, at 70 to 150 baht per cubic metre.
To fix the issue in the brief run, Eastwater will be asked to increase the supply of water to Koh Lan to 1,000 cubic metres daily.
In the long run, Pattaya City will dust off a strategy, which was when raised for conversation numerous years earlier, to lay an undersea pipeline to provide cured water from the mainland to Koh Lan, Mr Manoj stated.
