Fixing takes money and effort. It sure looks like a Thailand "Go Fund Me" project as the powers that be will play the old shell game with any funds for fixing the problem. If its a private company they will more than likely pack up their tent. If and when that happens people the smell will really knock you over.

THat is an utterly facile and patronising comment - Thailand has had the same amount of time as any other country to develop strategies to deal with rubbish - just resorting to some patronising idea that they are either undeveloped or poor is simply not on...they have the money and the technology for these sort of projects is available to all......it is just that the ruling elites in these places are either too ignorant to doing anything or don't see anything in it for them.

Whoa. Cool down please. Mine was an ironic or satirical or sarcastic comment. Ok? As with many "problems" the authorities do not wish to invite those with experience to help in solving problems. The country seems hell bent on re-inventing the wheel sometimes. Is it a loss of face to seek help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
