The Clean and Green campaign, managed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, aims to improve Bangkok by developing a good living environment and healthy city, which will reduce the future risk of diseases and bad hygiene. The campaign is also Bangkok’s preparation to be one of the cleanest metropolises as part of the future ASEAN Economic Community.
