3. In Thailand, you will be fined for using plastic bags.
You are not permitted to use plastic bags or containers on the Thai island of Ko Samet. You will be fined if you violate this rule. The impoverished island was so badly destroyed that new restrictions had to be put in place. Every day, over 1,500 tourists visit. The national parks are overrun with various packages, bottles, and other waste when they depart.
