If Thailand was as developed as Oz, the women wouldn't have sex with us, and we wouldn't have come here. Anger is a fairly pointless emotion, it harms you more than anyone else. When you feel angry have a lie down, watch some TV, or have a beer. You'll feel far better than getting angry about something you can't change. 12 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NE1 Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2020 I burn all my rubbish in a 50 gallon drum. No rubbish collection near us , so no alternative. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Cans , bottles ( plastic and glass ) and boxes are in a seperate drum . They are given to an old man in the village . The plastic bags and plastic packaging etc gets burnt once a month. What we call rubbish , is something that nobody has any use for.

Popular Post Morch Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2020 We got one of the blue plastic trashcans upfront, supposed to be cleared once a week or so. Mostly alright. What's annoying is people using it as theirs - don't mean someone tossing in the odd bag, but people taking their own house garbage. Can get filled pretty quickly. Took to hanging out near the gate when noticing the 'suspects', at things improved without a word being said. I don't really mind all that much, but the Mrs. is a another matter. Way she sees it, when we were faced with this problem, we took care to throw it either at the temple bins or late night on main streets where they collect daily and early. We're not burning garbage, separating what's possible, and recycling/reusing (mostly for garden stuff) quite a bit. When we get more settled in I'll make a proper compost bin or two, as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mean that you have no possibilities to compost things as well a you have no means of transport living so far away from everything? I am pretty sure that you could sort your garbage and drive it to a rubbish collector once a month. Can´t have that much garbage, can you? Another selfish poster. Not everyone has the transport to drive to a rubbish collector. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Tracy Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 No rubbish collection here as such. Plastic bottles and glass bottles are collected when someone calls, maybe once every 2 months. Tried composting, got told by the wife it stinks. Funny when all the neighbours light fires and the smoke stinks out the house.... It took me 18 months to come to the conclusion that one should go with the flow. The burning bin stands empty, the glass and plastic bottles bags are full, the garden and kitchen waste gets burned, (or feeds the village dogs and chickens), when it's not raining. Breaks my heart, but there it is. When in Rome..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
