"pressure from america maybe???" They still use paper bags in the US without handles since the 50's. Why would the US care about plastic bags in Thailand. They don't care about the environment and the latest EPA-boss was handpicked by Donald Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic bags have not been banned, there is an agreement from an association representing some retailers not to issue them free of charge, that's all...so far.

Look around, it's such an ugly sight plastic bags swimming in the rivers, seas, lying on the beaches, left and right of streets, hanging on fences, trees and bushes. I think, the problem are not the bags but the way they are handled after use. Same with all the other one way throw away articles. People never learn to respect mother earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
