3,000 Volunteers Join Coastal Cleanup in Rayong
Dow Thailand and over 20 partner organizations mobilized 3,000 volunteers to clean up Rayong’s beaches for International Coastal Cleanup Day.
On September 23, 2026, Dow Thailand, in collaboration with the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and more than 23 private and public sector partners, organized a large-scale environmental initiative in Rayong province. The event, titled 'Keep...Save...The World' (#PullingOurWeight), saw 3,000 volunteers gather to remove waste from key coastal areas.
This initiative was held in observance of International Coastal Cleanup Day, aiming to restore the natural beauty of Rayong’s beaches and foster long-term environmental awareness among the local community and visitors. For residents and travelers, this event highlights ongoing efforts to maintain the cleanliness and ecological health of Rayong’s popular seaside destinations, which are vital for local tourism and marine biodiversity.
While the immediate impact of the cleanup is visible through the removal of debris, the long-term effectiveness of these efforts in preventing future pollution remains to be seen. The organizers emphasized that the campaign is part of a broader strategy to promote sustainable coastal management. Further details regarding the total volume of waste collected or specific follow-up programs for beach maintenance have not yet been released by the organizers. Visitors planning trips to Rayong can expect cleaner beach conditions, though they are encouraged to continue practicing responsible waste disposal to support these sustainability goals.
