'You forgot this': Thai national park will post trash back to litterbugs who drop it
Visitors dropping litter in a Thai national park could receive an unwelcome souvenir, as they're warned any trash will be posted back to their homes.
Khao Yai National Park is a popular tourist destination but administrators and officials in Thailand have grown tired of litter ruining the site's natural beauty and endangering the animals that live there.
Luckily, Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa seems to have come up with a nifty solution.
He shared a photo on social media showing plastic bottles, cans and crisp packets that had been collected and packaged up, ready to be returned to the litterbug who dropped it with a note saying: 'You forgot these things'.
The minister also reminded people that anyone caught littering could face up to five years in jail and a hefty fine.
Visitors will now be required to register their home address before entering the park.
Anyone found to have littered can expect to have the trash returned to them and will be reported to local police.
