When was the last time that you spoke with a foreigner?
But instead, you come in and beat around the bush, referring to people here without being direct. You join a conversation late, and immediately take sides, joining others who have a bad reputation here as being dense and trollers. You act innocent, yet are too dense to understand I, and I'm sure most others here, can see right through you. I was called a person who isolates themselves, and that was an assumption by one of the usual suspects. I defended myself, saying he doesn't know a thing about me, so his opinion means nothing. He also said 50% of foreigners here are nutters and the other 50% are hermits. That's an insult to all foreigners here, but again, you took his side, You come in, and take his side, all, again, because I proved you wrong in other topics. With your attitude, and penchant to troll others, I would guess you have very few friends, because most people won't tolerate a fake. -

Report Bangkok's Waste Management Overhaul: Non-Compliant Households Face Fee Surge
File photo for reference only Starting at the end of 2024, Bangkok households that fail to separate their waste will see their monthly waste collection fee increase from 20 to 60 baht, following a recent Cabinet resolution. This move marks a significant shift from voluntary to regulation-driven waste management in the city. The decision comes after years of mixed success with voluntary waste separation campaigns, including the 2017 initiative providing free bins to encourage participation. Despite these efforts, challenges persisted, with scepticism arising from reports of waste collectors mixing separated trash, discouraging many residents from continuing their recycling efforts. The new initiative by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) aims to overcome these hurdles by enforcing stricter regulations and incorporating financial penalties as a motivator. Households that comply with waste sorting will avoid fee increases, while those ignoring the new policy will face the tripled fee. To facilitate effective waste management, Bangkok is implementing separate collections for food and general waste, accompanied by designated drop-off points and scheduled pickup times. This approach, inspired by successful systems in other countries, seeks to enhance recycling efforts and ensure that household separation efforts are not in vain. The overarching goal is to motivate substantial waste reduction at the source, aligning fees more closely with the city's actual waste management costs, which currently exceed THB7 billion annually. The environmental campaign, “This House Separates Waste: Reduce Fees by Sorting,” supports this initiative by encouraging residents to sort their garbage to lessen their environmental impact and reduce disposal expenses. For Bangkok, the success of this new policy hinges on public participation and adapting to the regulation-driven approach. As the city transitions, it remains to be seen how effectively this shift will address longstanding waste management issues and promote a sustainable future.

I have booked flight for DMK only to realize afterwards how picky immigration became lately
Presumably you were getting 60 day entries since July? Probably they thought you were an actual tourist.
