Ranong: After Thai News Agency previously reported on the muddy Kraburi River caused by mining operations in Myanmar, it was later discovered that in addition to these problems, Ranong also faces problems with the illegal transport of minerals from Myanmar.

According to Thai News Agency, the situation has raised concerns about the need to increase the level of mineral imports from Myanmar in order to curb the illegal bleaching of mineral areas. The current mineral transport practices have led to environmental impacts, such as the pollution of the Kraburi River, which affects both the local ecosystem and communities relying on the river.

The report highlights the necessity for tighter regulations and monitoring of mineral imports to address these illegal activities. The aim is to ensure that mineral transport is conducted legally and sustainably, preventing further environmental damage and promoting ethical trading practices.
