webfact Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The three-day Songkran water splashing on Khao San road was over on Monday night and left behind about 116 tonnes of garbage, mostly drinking water bottles, plastic bags, water guns, plastic buckets and traces of white clay flour, to be collected by city collectors. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt supervised about 250 city workers in the cleanup of Khao Sarn road this morning. About 200,000 Songkran revelers were estimated to visit the area yesterday and last night, which was the last day of the Songkran celebrations there. According to city officials, a total of 116 tonnes of garbage were collected from Khao San and its vicinity for the first three days from April 12. The amount of garbage left behind by the revellers last night was not estimated yet. For Silom road, about 33 tonnes of garbage were collected on April 13-14. The number of revellers there was estimated at about 58,000 and 79,000 respectively.

Popular Post jts-khorat Posted April 16 Popular Post Share Posted April 16 What I see in the picture does not seem to be garbage left behind by "revellers", but commercial garbage from a restaurant or bar. Just yesterdaxy there was an article, how many millions (or was it billions??) of Baht tourists spent over Songkran in Khao San Road alone, so the businesses there might as well have a little clean-up after that out of their pocket. And while we are at it, why not have the same level of cleanliness in all the other tourist hotspots that bring in the cash, but look like a trash dump in Delhi during every single day of the year as soon as the neon lights are switched off. 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
