Where's a sponge and a bucket of soapy water when you need one?

You know I love Thailand but....What's up with the black mold everywhere? I have come to realize that You can take the third world citizen out of the third world but you can't take the third world out of the citizen. To Thai people...in general....the appearance of things (Other than their personal attire (personal hygiene etc) or their cars/Trucks and religious Temples......) Appearances are just not important.

I have walked the streets in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and have been so frustrated with how rundown things looked I just wanted to go into a store and buy a gallon of bleach, a wire brush, some paint and start cleaning a wall or entry way to a building and show people what could be don't in a couple of hours............ with a few dollars and some elbow grease...all the black mold could be gone and things would look beautiful (Until the next rainy season)....
