The opposition People's Party (PP) on Wednesday urged the government to lead efforts to tackle river pollution in northern Thailand, saying evidence suggests contamination may be linked to mining operations in Myanmar.
This comes after PP leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut and Chiang Mai MP Pattharapong Leelaphat met Chinese ambassador Zhang Jianwei on Tuesday at the Chinese embassy in Bangkok to discuss cross-border water pollution in the northern region.
