The (acid) Rain forest
One day while I was sitting on the bus in a rainy day, I looked through the window, looking at the down pour outside. Then I just wondered, what if I drink and use the water from the rain. Is it safe? Is it clean? Or Is it edible? I don't think so.
In Bangkok these days, we devastatingly cut down the trees and replace them with some tasteless achitechtures. We turn Bangkok into the concrete forest where there is no space for the trees to protect us from greenhouse-gas emissions. So when the rain comes down, you can't sing or dance like what you see in the movie or in the song, because it is just an acid rain.
Having lived in Bangkok for about six years now, I really want to see something new in a good way. The mayor of Bankok should do something to stop high-rise buildings. Blow them away! White wash them! Or whatever! Then together, we should plant more trees and let them reach the sky. We should fill the real green space in bangkok, not just some small bushes on the side of the pavements.

I really agree with you. But when I lived here in 2003-5, you could rarely see the stars at night, Now you can. With taxis and many buses changing to NGV, some improvement has been made. But, still a lot more could be done. Buildings are erected in this city at a surprisingly rapid rate. Blessed is the place that is immune to the non-lulling sounds of construction.
