Susco Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 When in December last year was announced that the majority of shops would stop handing out plastic bags, there were plenty of comments on this forum that it would never happen. When it did happen on the first day of the year, there were again plenty of posts that supermarkets would soon be without customers, because the Thais could not adjust to it. Others were less harsh in their comments and claimed that plastic bags would again be handed out in 2 weeks time, or maybe a month at most. We are now 3 months further, and I start running out of Big C shopping bags which I use as bin bags. So I have just one question to all the knowledgeable members here.......................... How much longer before Big C will start supplying me with free bin bags again? 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Don't know why you thought that. Thais pretty much stopped smoking inside public areas when the government banned it. I don't recall any movement against it. I doubt plastic bags will come back as it is saving them money. Before plastic we used to get paper bags for free. Now they charge for paper bags in NZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We buy them in a bag of around a 100 at Makro, they are cheap and I dispose of them after we have reused them at least twice, i.e. we empty the contents of the rubbish into a big black bin, less the plastic bag. Everything that goes into the bin is separated before it goes into the bin, food scraps go into a separate container and into the garden for compost, recycled stuff goes into a recycle bin, and all plastic goes into a bin for plastic, I personally put all the plastic together and take the air out of the bag when full, then I put them in a bin at either a petrol service station, Tesco/Lotus or Makro. We do not have a rubbish collection here in the village yet, the elders do not want to spend 160 baht a month for the garbage service, they would rather burn everything which is annoying, albeit there is nothing I can do except do what I know is best, the big black bin is usually full of paper of some kind, tissue paper, etc, etc and we put it in a hole in our land. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jadee Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2020 Like 'Pilotman', I didn't really get that the OP was making a joke at first! But it reminded me of a thread on imgur called the "perks of being in your thirties" - and there was one really funny Tweet about having a lot of bags, it's kind of an unspoken right of passage, getting to the age where you have a 'bag of bags'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susco Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Maybe it is the COVID infection, maybe it;s because most now are forced to be with their wife all day, that there are so many sad members on this forum. They don't even know in which forum the thread is to which they are replying with their ingrained negativity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I don't want nor expect free bags. In the USA several states charge a fee like 10 cents for each plastic bag that are available right there at checkout. I am fine with paying on the spot for convenience. In the future I may start using a re-use type bag as it does make sense, athough sometimes they often get dirty, things leaked a bit and over time they get a bit off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 13 hours ago, Pilotman said: Oh it was a joke. Yes, I didn't get that, maybe because it wasn't funny. Perfectly reasonable to ask our ace TVF Plastic Bag Ban Forecasters to update their predictions. They seem nowhere to be found, not surprisingly. One of my suggestions was to use a packable backpack, and I gave a link to such at Aliexpress. That was greeted with a pic of old shopping bags. (No solution is too obvious or elementary to post. ????) However, I did get one for a few bucks, keep it in the bike, and it's come in handy.

It's too easy to jump to a negative opinion of people. Try stretching yourself, and leaping to a positive opinion of them.
