Oh it's just for the parade, nothing to do with pollution, so it will looks better when the pictures go over the world, what a shame, Hide it under the carpet again as always.

Saddly ''never let a good deed pass, without the media present '' ...just stop throwing your trash on the ground..

 they are trialing a procedural copy of the 'postcard street picture scenario trick',

  - right out of 'The Interview"

  (except they here add the bit about including the water)

Cool. Im not doing anyhting that day, maybe Ill go down and pick up some trash. Bet I get free snacks and some good picture opportunities. Good way to meet some nice Thai folks too. Clean ups can be fun! Everyone should pitch in!

All that press and the Police will be watching, those with NO WORK PERMITS will have problems. 

The river can be the only breeze in BKK, and you lose the heat island effect somewhat. Never seen a politician, who wasn't a publicity hound.
