Cake Monster Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Where I reside will certainly not get any rewards such as this judging by the amount of Commercial waste ( yes it is commercial waste stuff ) that is dumped in the Countryside and then fired by the recycle wallers for any small amounts of metal Etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzaa09 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Don't know which progressive-like Prayut to admire. The well dress suited civilian businessman with a big smile advancing Thailand forward - for the people. Or... The smartly dressed and decorated military Field Marshall with a big smile advancing Thailand forward - for the people. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadbury Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 And the winner of the National Award for waste disposal goes to Koh Samui for having an inoperable incinerator for the last 9 years. It has been reported 300,000 tonnes of garbage has accumulated around the incinerator and is about three stories high. Also reported that the municipality has sought financial help from the government but none has been forthcoming. Award ceremonies are much cheaper than practical solutions and give great opportunity for political grandstanding in the election build up. https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/1053331-rubbish-on-samui/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
