Hi i have just moved houses and out in the Soi was a large pile of Rubbish plus two overflowing Blue rubbish Bins, Complained to Tessa Ban and they removed the bins to the street at the end of the soi, we put up a sign saying please do not dump rubbish here and this crazy Fallang  (me) without a work permit is slowly clearing the Rubbish away Much to the astonishment of the Locals  PS I am the only fallang in the soi and the others that feed of it Been on the Old age Pension 20 plus years so no spring chicken,

my Tii  Ruk has a 34 year old son who won't get of his Backside to Help and I waste my breath if i complain  T I T

Indeed.  Weekly rubbish collection is hit and miss where I live.  In 2 days time, it'll be 2 weeks since they last came around.

 

Try to put the veg/fruit shavings and leftovers in the garden, not the bin.  Recycle everything that can be, the old boy comes around on his push bike to collect every few days.  But after nearly 2 weeks, the sois are looking grim as the house bins are overflowing.

A million? How could the writers be so obtuse? Try 20 million, and probably a lot more than that. Even a small town would have several hundred thousand.

Well for a start they don't throw their rubbish everywhere.

Finally achieved a verifiable Hub of something! 

[Sydebolle]

It starts with the individual behaviour on how to deal with garbage, carries on with how garbage is removed and ends with how garbage is finally disposed off. 

Thailand fails in all three categories; nothing to do with cats or snakes. Blame Khon Thai 8-) 

[worgeordie]

There will be many Millions of rats in Bangkok,next week the Government

will issue a statement, rumors of the Black Death in Bangkok ,not true.

And they got the biggest rats in the world too. Look at the one who lives in the PM house and the ones who run the country Big Rats everywhere in Bangkok

[HiSoLowSoNoSo]

One rat in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One rat in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your rat company
I can feel the rat walking next to me

[Geoffggi]

It is not only Bangkok, Pattaya has a considerable amount of rats along the beach road particularly early morning from Soi 12 to Walking street.

[Shiver]

Haa haa

ha ha

ha [ahem]....

 

Let's blame the no snakes to save human face.  Good idea.  Who is believing?

Where did you take the photo?

 

Yep BBQ field rats are "Aroy" but this has nothing to do with city rats......Sometimes when I am chewing into them the smaller ones look like aborted human babies but still remain arroy...so what..??? !!!!

[CanuckThai]

The cats are just more snake food.  Most feral cats will go for the easy stuff, stuff that is semi good to have around, songbirds (all birds actually), geckos and lizards (that eat insects).

I could maybe do without the tail, but I might be willing to give'em a go. Maybe up north, or perhaps Isaan? Heck, it could be Prachin, I suppose. I'd be interested to know where this was taken, as well.

[cookieqw]

i like the way thais are not to blame.

rats are everywhere in pattaya as well.

When I moved into the house I live now there were rats in the ceiling, Oh boy did they make a noise, No sleep Did I panic? No. Just lifted off some of the sheets off the roof and threw ratsak everywhere. End of rats in ceiling Stunk a bit but was worth it. So maybe Thais should start throwing some Ratsak around  It works

Yup..At rice harvesting it is the same as my spud picking days. The boys get out and catch as many as they can to sell at the market.....I had an advantage on them though.....the spuds tended to run away very slowly...

Rumor has it the Pied Piper is looking for work. The government should Google him.

Soi 11 may have one of the largest rat populations in the city. No problem.

If one cannot deal with it, go someplace else....

Lazy cats or lack of snakes to blame? I only blame the persons who left this bag there out in the open. The only you can blame for the dirt  are people, they made that BKK became a dirty, smelly city. The rats are only looking for food, if you take that away the rats will go also. That make a city clean!

......or just do With the rats as With the snakes - round them up and move them to the country side - just a natural continuation of the never ending cycle they have already started....
