Almost drove into a upset elephant in kao yai once. Still cant remember how we drove past it. Think they get freeked out by car headlights at night.

returnable deposit on all plastic & glass bottles (including those annoying small lipo and redbull etc bottles!) of lets say 5 baht would be a perfect start. not nanny state mentality, CLEAN state mentality.

I'm currently in Brazil and here there is a huge recycling culture.

If you drink your beer, soft drink or water and throw the can or bottle in the air it will never hit the ground. Can, bottle and even paper / cardboard collectors cruise the beaches and streets looking for waste containers and will even stand patiently next you while you finish yours so that they can collect the can /bottle.

Yeah i guess they need that rubbish to finish the stadiums

For no particular reason, the warning about encounters with elephants reminds me of the joke about when the circus came to Glasgow (Billy Connelly I think).

"An elephant has just done a ton on Sauchiehall Street. Motorists are advised to treat it as a roundabout".

I'll get my coat, the Taxi awaits...
