Step 2, emptying them regularly. As a previous poster mentioned, they only seem to be found at 7-11s. It would be nice to think it's an act of CSR, but perhaps it's due to the fact a lot of the customers dump the plastic bags and remove excess packaging as soon as they exit the shop?

Dear Mr. governor is time to recognize that the most garbage is used and dropped around by the Thai peoples, have a good look at your country everywhere is garbage around, in same place much more than in any tourist destination. To know your country well is the best way to find a solution out of that garbage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I live in the boonies not far out of Pattaya. Every day, I see the result of all the Tourists bringing their trash out of the City to dump in my Village. The result of all their industrious activity is plain for all to see, with building rubble, miles of stripped electric cable plastic, the remains of a Chicken farm ( complete with all the s^&t., and thats only the half of it Trashy Tourists - I hate em .

cookieqw Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Even plastic has a weight. So tourists filling their suitcases with it and bringing it to Thailand so they can throw it away doesn’t seem feasible to me, so that means someone in Thailand is giving them the plastic. In a country that is renowned for rice, I can’t believe someone hasn’t come up with some kind of rice-paper packaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueOrNothing Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 They are not saying tourists are to blame, they only mean that garbage "must not be seen in tourist spots anymore", because it is threatening the tourism industry... They just need to drop and burn it a few dozen of kilometers farther eg on military bases where tourists cannot see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read here about the military, I thought their bases were full of garbage already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmeldo Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Start with my soi. It's become a garage tip in the last five years. I'm utterly disgusted by the sights and smells. Nowhere near the flat but must walk by it to get to MRT. Ruined best little soi in BKK. Half Chinese from new small hotel. Balance neighbors and 711+ a pub. Lawless.
