NCC1701A Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 yes there is no where in Thailand where you can escape the filth. It is everywhere. In the air, the soil, the water, the food. All poisoned. They deliberately spew out clouds of black diesel fumes out of their cars and trucks and buses. They let their cars and truck engines idle for hours so they can run the air conditioning. They are so thoughtless and inconsiderate as they make so much noise no one can sleep and have peace with the constant noise pollution. Thais are the most narcissistic, self centered, selfish and short sighted people in the world. They spend hours on their appearance and then drop their filth on the ground everywhere they go. Piles of beers bottles and plastic wrappers are markers of their last location where they squatted in the filth. Huge rats walk among food carts and the floors of restaurants. You can't go for a simple walk on the beach or in the mountains without being confronted by piles of garage. a apocalyptic landscape of out some dystopian science fiction film where all law and order has broken down. Huge clouds of smoke from forest and crops being deliberately burned, carcinogenic smoke from piles plastic being burned next to school and homes and hospitals. Crops are sprayed with toxic pesticides and the run off is in streams and creeks. They are feeding the oceans and are black with human waste. The odor of sewage hits you in the face as you walk down the street. Children wade through flood waters that are a toxic soup of fecal matter and chemicals. Beautiful sea creatures choked and strangled in plastic. Coral reefs destroyed by greed. Have a nice night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue sky and sun blocked by a perpetual cloud of grey haze forcing people to wear masks so they can breath. Tap water so filthy it can't be used for anything. Trucks with loud speakers blasting noise at all hours of the day. OK. I think that is it. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 5 stage water filter, but now I'm concerned as to whether the water is fluoridated or not. If it is, only a reverse-osmosis filter system will remove it.

Dolphin99 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 I never realized the problem was this bad until I started investigating places to live and maybe buy a condo. I am a bit sad, but I suppose I will look elsewhere. they could have made so much more money if they had simply protected themselves from heavy metals poisoning...

Brunolem Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 11 hours ago, Onrai said: All Asian countries are not equally polluted. Go to Otres Beach in Cambodia to see paradise turned into a cesspool. Thailand, in my view, is the cleanest country in Southeast Asia. I rarely see people littering and the streets are swept clean every morning. I mean they even have shoes to put in when you enter the bathroom so you don’t use your street shoes to get the bathroom floors dirty. The rivers are muddy but how they compare to any other agricultural country with pesticide and herbicide run off is anyone’s guess. Where agriculture is done on an industrial scale, like the USA, there is definitely more soil pollution. The most pristine beach I have ever seen is in Thailand. It is getting polluted, as is every country that uses plastic bottles and chemical herbicides and pesticides. Go to India if you want to experience filth. Cow excrement with trash fill every street. Or go to San Francisco Ca and see the filth left by the huge homeless population and the graffiti marring the buildings, the buses, the subways. Or go to Tibet and see the mountains if rubbish Chinese tourists throw from their buses on the way to Mt Everest. Thailand the cleanest country is SEA? Have you ever been to Singapore? You rarely see people littering? Have you ever been outside Bangkok? Up there in the provinces, people use their backyard as a landfill, and roadsides are littered over hundreds of kilometers... Remove these rose colored glasses and drop the joint you are smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipButty Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I live in a moo baan and I am quiet happy to pay a 1000 baht a year to have my rubbish removed twice a week we have a big strong wheelie bin on the front as with most farang who live here but there are certain people around me especially one neighbor who I caught filling my bin up, to tight to even buy a bin drive out of the moo baan and there's <deleted> everywhere on every corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness to the city of Hua Hin, the filth is distributed almost equally all over the country. The Wats here in Hua Hin are particularly bad as they are full of trash.

Dolphin99 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 4 hours ago, uhuh said: Quite wrong. I lived with the Chinese long enough (not just a couple of years) to know what i am talking about, and to know that they think the same as me. Google Bo Yang, "The Ugly Chinaman". If you are not Chinese get a Chinese gf and learn from her. Not that I have any intention to mount a defense of the eternal virtues of Chinese civilization, but frankly, I can count the number of foreigners I have met that speak Chinese better than an epileptic deafmute on a single hand. The fact that your "source" is a 50 year old book is also not doing your case any wonders. I reiterate, people like you are very rarely complaining about the problems blacks, muslims, or latinos are causing in our societies. But you are all plenty happy to clap to war hawks talking about fighting the Chinese government, or occasionally bombing one of Israel's enemies like Syria or Iran. Chinese are about the only ethnic group you can openly call evil and predatory on television. They are far from perfect, but again, I challenge you to say the same sort of thing about blacks. Feel free to try and restore my faith you are an honest person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those photos of the trash piled next to the water are not something I went looking for. This is typical of what you see in Hua Hin once you get away from the VERY NARROW strip of beach where tourists do selfies. and Farangs clean large sections of the beach every Sunday in Hua Hin. And you know as well as I do that the road to your house, the highway to your town is lined with garbage. I know because I ride a motorcycle everywhere. 100% of the time I come to a stop and look down and there is filth everywhere. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS! THAILAND IS A GIANT FILTHY PIG STY.

No litter in my moobaan, walked 6Km in the jungle this morning, the only litter was a couple of crisp bags on the whole hike. Went through Huay Keow park, no litter. Maybe I should take my rose tinted glasses off. I know there are places with litter, same as every country in the world, but I don't feel the need to look for them, or photograph them.
