fantom Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think if we used 'we' instead of 'they' we might go some way to resolving the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bet he rides a big girls bike, that makes him a, bi-cyclist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just dont have the education or the ability to recognise the problem. What can you expect when many Thai homes looks the same inside? When you're used to sleep on the floor on a simple mattress , eat on a mat on the floor etc. Many simple homes in Thailand and they only care about their family and how to get food on the table from day to day . Plastic outside or inside is not even on their mind, unless they can earn money on it, like picking up plastic bottles, there's some money in it....

I don't buy much in 7-11 but always turn down the bag, and the straws AND the plastic spoons !! The tourists are all as bad as the locals they don't think twice about accepting a bag. no, i have never seen a white foreigner so totally ignorant to pollution & litter as a thai, i cant recall i ever saw a trash can flowing over in junk in my home country, and i cant recall i ever saw a trash can in thailand that isnt usually flooded, i cant recall seeing litter in my home country, i dont think i have spent any day in thailand outdoors without seeing litter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
