Pissed off! A box of garbage as a gift from the Minister of Thailand (5 photos)

From the Minister of the Environment, of course. Because he was simply driven crazy by littering visitors to national parks, and there weren't enough staff to clean up after them.





He himself is a rather extravagant guy in his expressions

And so, in the heat of anger, the furious Minister of Thailand ordered that the garbage from the Khao Yai National Park be sent to the visitor who littered. And they identified him by the entries in the list of visitors for that day, and also because they saw a bottle of juice in his hands. That is, they roughly understood what he threw by the garbage.

And the minister ordered the cleaners to collect a whole bag of garbage and send it to the visitor, having found his address. Not all the garbage was his, but the extra is a compliment to the establishment, so to speak.

Everyone will get a bag, everyone!



With an explanatory note from the park, why such a gift

The minister said that let this case receive as much scandalous publicity as possible on the Internet and in the news. Let every tourist now be afraid of receiving such a gift bag!

They especially litter around the camping sites, no one even bothers to clean up after themselves. National parks are usually very large, it is simply impossible to walk around them all every day. And during this time, garbage flies, spoils the soil, threatens animals with chemicals, most importantly - marine fauna.

Last year, a dead deer was found in a park after it swallowed seven kilograms of garbage in a national park in northern Thailand. What was it doused with, what did the deer eat and eat!?





Once, the feces of Himalayan bears were analyzed, and it was discovered that their diet was 100% garbage cans...

Authorities found men's underwear, coffee bags, plastic bags and ropes in the deer's stomach. You can't just swallow that.

A citizen from the central region of Thailand was chosen as the exemplary victim of the Garbage Present, because it is hard to spot a tourist. They promised to send a fine along with the garbage delivery.



That same park, it is truly luxurious, such wild nature

But this is hardly possible. Because the park does not have any footage of a tourist throwing this can of juice. That is, they made it up. And if you can perceive a bag of garbage at the door as a PR campaign from the Minister of the Environment, then the fine cannot have any legality.

In general, Thailand is not bad at solving the problem with radical methods. I already wrote that they refused to use disposable bags in stores, and it was difficult for people to retrain, but it helped.



Without bags, Thais go to the store in whatever way they can

Perhaps another radical move - sending bags to the home of a person who threw a piece of paper - will also "shoot" very powerfully. But will they dare to make this a mass phenomenon, and not a one-off?
