The pollution is in the air in Bangkok. we can smell it when we go outside. according to local people, if we spend long time outside and are used to it, we will end up with breathing problems.
Most of the canals and waterways in the city are highly polluted, and many of them are already anaerobic and give off offensive smells. This is cause by the majority of houses in Bangkok discharge waste-water straight into storm drains that directly connect to those canals or waterways
2. Traffic
Being the fastest-growing area in Thailand in terms of human population as well as automobile population, Bangkok just has not been able to cope with the enormous demand that has been put on its existing road systems. Traffic jams and accidents are part of the city
3. Land use and building problem
Bangkok did not have an official city plan in operation. So, a comprehensive city structure, zoning, building control, public utility layouts, and so on, cannot be drawn up.
Thus, with little or no zoning laws, people in Bangkok can build up any construction they like
