Bangkok puts banner hexing people who litter

There’s nothing like good old superstition to make people obey the rules.

Lat Krabang district officials yesterday put up a sign hexing litterbugs, after citizens ignored Bangkok Administration’s plea to stop throwing trash in non-designated spots.

“The sky has eyes. It will curse you! Anyone who litters in this area, we wish you and your family would never find happiness for the rest of your lives. For those who keep the area clean, we wish you blessing and success forever,” reads the banner.

This spooky idea was the brainchild of district chief Sin Nititadaku, who believes it will make pedestrians on Soi Rom Klao 23 think twice before chucking their garbage in the street, Bangkok Post reported.
