Why are Thais so obsessed with plastic? No matter what you buy, every store everything is covered in plastic. Go to 7-11 or any other shop you get plastic galore! Plastic bag in another plastic bag, straws containers plastic cutlery. Buy a soft drink at a market you will get it in a plastic bag. Why can't change Thailand? I live in a country which has banned all plastics unless it is recyclable. It is said by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish or any other animals. Well, I will not live that long but think about your kids or grandkids? Yes, I do know it is hard to change tradition but if you are a foreigner help to reject plastics.
