Bangkok's own trash hero:

Meet Thailand's answer to Greta Thunberg. She's only 12, but her passion is already paying off

She's not just fighting the trash issue, she's fighting the Thai mental block issue of "if I ignore it, it will go away", and "it's not my problem.." I wish her luck and strength!

Yes, good for her! She got a slot on the Australian TV news, and she speaks fluent English!

The Clean Up Heroes are pushing the boat out this week, literally in a joint initiative with Rescue Paws and the Sirinart Rajini Ecosystem Learning Center. From their post:

Welcome to the year 2020!
Clean Hua Hin & Rescue Paws, together with Sirinart Rajini Ecosystem Learning Center are going to pick up trash on kayaks. The meeting point is at the center. It's about 25 mins drive from downtown Hua Hin. You got to get there by yourself or share transportation with others who are going as well. Let's row!!!

All Heroes will be welcome.

A lot of rubbish - well done.

I've been in Isaan for a few days, in an area as 3rd world as Thailand gets. I saw something from my hotel room I've never seen In Hua Hin before. It immediately made me think of this thread, and the difference it could make to Hua Hin - ROAD SWEEPERS.

We have a couple of lady road sweepers here in Soi 88 around 6am every morning. Dressed in the Orange Jackets of the municpality.

[buksida]

There are plenty of them in Prachuap town.

[lomuamart]

They're out and about and up and down Petchkasem every morning around 6am.

[Big Boy]

Well, I am surprised to hear that we have road sweepers in Hua Hin. I honestly don't know why I have never seen them.

Take a walk down Takiab beach every other day way down why O why are there no trash cans bottles straws plastic food bags and yes even diapers some people are just incapable of taker there trash back to the hotels or home.
