      @@Daniel-ox2zr absolutely I agree. When you know the language you can go off the beaten path, go where tourists never go and experience the culture and the people in their purist form, the way things really are. And in this country of Thailand those who take the initiative to learn the language find the everyday people as kind loving and unselfish among each other and towards Westerners. Just to add a little insight maybe they feel no animosity or mistrust
      towards Westerners because it's one of the few countries in the world that was never colonized.

    Try to get glass water bottles as I do in Nakhon Sawan. I get a big case of them for my home named SINGHA DRINKING WATER it is a great idea because the plastic bottle is terrible for the environment and the plastic leaks out into your body and you get poisoned by that fact.

Recycle your plastic bottle and it will not be bad for the environment. I have two t-shirts that contain recycled plastic bottles and you can now get socks from plastic bottles and coffee grounds.

      Those particular 'particles' you mention get diluted by the earth overtime, mankinds taking out of her and refining will eventually be re-filtered and reduced back to it's amalgamated dirt form after 500 years. They can compress and make artificial diamonds from plastic also.

    OK - So why doesn't the government have better standards on tap-water? Thai's should demand(!)/insure it from their local health ministries. Bottled water is terrible for the environment, is often re-bottled local water for 6k the amount of money(!) with less stringent health standards. And the plastic bottles are derived from oil, adding even more toxins to the local environment. FIX THIS, LOCALLY (please!!). Locals can do it if they demand it. Make it happen.

      Locally we in Thailand use osmosis water stations and refillable jugs (you'll see them all over the place.) Or install water filter system in the home.
      Thailand water is probably safer to drink than most water in many American cities, which I guess is now a low bar.

    • @antfactor
      @antfactor Год назад

      ​@@RetiredInThailand There are better (though perhaps not 'less expensive' alternatives) on a mass scale, which are safer, and bio-degradable. The source of the problem is that businesses use whatever is 'cheapest', and petrochemical products have been bolstered by ridiculous tax-breaks, incentives, and unfair competitive economic advantages from numerous lobbyists to squelch any other products to compete in the same market-place. One only has to consider what we used BEFORE these plastic packaging alternatives were available which drastically changed the consumer landscape. My theory: If plastics were suddenly cut-off - industries would VERY quickly find alternatives and scale them up to market positive levels.
