So all the effort is spoiled for the lack of an extra man on the team with a bag doing the litter picking as they go by.
Whose brain needs nudging into action, so simple, over this?

I noticed during my ride from the airport to Patong in November that it was quite improved from my last trip, which was a year earlier. Hopefully this trend will continue.
Now they need to work on some of the downton locations.
