Wow! I have been here more than ten years and I have to confess to not knowing anything about an Environment Day in Thailand. Given the state of the streams and rivers and the rubbish everywhere, I guess a large number of Thais are totally unaware too. Aside from dealing with the road carnage, this really should be a top priority.

Just a token gesture in a sea of garbage.

They can't see the wood for the plastic bags!

Yawn.......
