I've not done it myself, but it's a lot cheaper to pitch up and pay- seems to be around 150 baht compared to the 4000 baht+ for the package lot. This link below had a pretty decent write up on it-

- as does this topic on ThaiVisa as well.

Canals that feed into the Chao Phraya river in my area are polluted with pesticides, some of these pesticides are illegal.

That does not stop any one from fishing here, but if it rains after the farmers use pesticide the result is often dead fish in the canal.

Dumping toxic waste in to rivers and canals is the cheapest means of waste disposal.
