Trash in Thailand

[BookMan]

I guess some one dumped the mattress so the trash could have a rest   ....  just down from my house on Samui! Taken today!

 

 

This water is only here when the rains come!

 

Moisture in bedding can often be a problem

On this very subject, and I'm sure I'm not the only one interested, do any of you trash experts know how trash is dealt with in LOS.

Landfill? Incineration? Dumped at sea? Recycling?

It's probably a region by region thing but I am genuinely interested

In this place the rural rubbish is slung over a bank and burnt every so often.

Re post # 60.... that mattress was being burned today.... water had dried up, since I took that shot!

Following this down the road today... it was really smelly... but at least they were picking up garbage!

My contribution to an unsightly problem....

A use for old tyres

[BookMan]

After the street market is finished..(apologies for it being so dark)

Mountain dew bottle...

[samuijimmy]

well thought I would make use of the one and only bottle I will ever buy of this stuff, and hang it in the garden! ..... rather than trash it!

You forgot to remove the wrapper..

I'm kinda wondering....just barely...when some bright Somchai decides

to collect a few hundred of these ugly bottles, put little electric lights

in them & then string the things up along the borders of his house,

crash pad, stall on wheels, inside a bar etc...etc...etc.

BTW...somebody once told me that MD is a good mixer for white

Bacardi.....bah! Waste of good rum that is...in IMO...not being humble

either.

Do we have a Mountain Dew Thread?

[sunshine51]

^^^ Bookman...you gotta be kidding right?!

Well....we do have a toilet thread and this

trash thread....so why not I guess. Mind

you it's only a guess...hah! Awww heck....

let's go for it! Give a prize even for the best

& most creative photo of something using

empty MD bottles in a creative & interesting

manner.

The prize....a weeks supply of Mountain Dew

of course!

Not kidding mate...i only got a few on this trip, but I saw a lot of opportunities...bit of fun and opportunity for some more pics

[samuijimmy]

^ that's about the only good thing about it!... ... a pretty colour!

So label removed, it's in full bloom now!

or perhaps it could be used as a winker light on the bike!

[sunshine51]

Best idea I reckon I have for tonight using the MD bottles....

small 20watt lamp in one & use it as a toilet light.

[Dancealot]

DAL says we'll do the CREATIVE MD shots on this thread. It'll be fun Inbetween all the trash posts, of course..

We'll stay ON topic because when the bottle is full, it is a drink but when the bottle is empty it is trash.

Collecting up the trash on the beach! The "Burmese army" out in force!

[Robby nz]

The morning after the night before.

Sunday morning after the Saturday night market before the cleaners arrive.

[samuijimmy]

Daily collection of food and other trash on my local beach, (Maenam Samui) the vendors actually take it away to the bins on the road, and many tourists make the effort to put in the bags

[sometime]

This is at the view at the side of the Ambassador hotel Najomtien, and the Russians don’t notice when they eat at the shanties.

I nearly called 191 when this trash truck passed me this morning
