(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 18 - To extreme evils, extreme remedies.
Thailand's popular Khao Yai park, near Bangkok, has decided that if tourists don't start to abide by the rules, they won't stop throwing litter around the reserve if they literate on their doorstep.
The BBC reports.
The Thai Environment Minister, Varawut Silpa-archa, posted on Facebook a photo of a pile of waste packed and ready to be shipped.
"You forgot this" is written on the box.
"The garbage will come back to you", reads the post under the image in which it is also recalled that throwing garbage in a national park is a crime punishable by five years of digalera. Authorities running the Khao Yai have explained that garbage can be particularly dangerous for animals. The 2,000-square-kilometer park is the oldest in Thailand and is famous for its waterfalls and landscapes. The anti-pollution measure can be applied thanks to the fact that tourists must register upon their arrival and also leave their address. (HANDLE).
