If Thais don't care, why should we, Dan? How about "when you are in Rome ..."? Are you possibly failing to adapt to this society and trying to impose your farang ways? Think about it ...

Spitzer Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:19:48 +0000 http://absolutelybangkok.com/?p=4117#comment-3574 I just came back from 3 days at the beach, paid $50/night for a room that would be triple that anywhere else in the world (plus airfare vs. my cheap taxi ride). Weekends like this remind me that there is so much I like about this country, and while the politics are insane they are insane in most countries (usually with worse consequences) In summation: don't worry, be happy. P.S.: Thailand needs more garbage cans, in my experience if someone can see a trash can they will use it, otherwise they will dump it anywhere.

I love this one! This is the way to go! If we Farangs show the Thais what other solutions there might be (and we will do it respectfully also vice-versa), instead of complaining most of the time, this will be more successful! Positive pro-active exchange & actions! Nice move Dan! greenpeace Marc “Tomorrow I’ll start collecting the garbage and plastic bags around my house.”
