The study found that Single Use Plastics waste management behaviors of Cambodia Student in Thailand was at a moderate level, (X̅ = 2.04, S.D.= 0.03). When considering each side, it was found that SUPs reducing behavior higher than SUPs reusing and rejecting (X̅ = 2.19, 2.05, and 1.88) respectively. The highest mean of SUPs-reducing behavior was “Reducing the use of plastic bags with handles” by bringing cloth bags/baskets to go shopping or market. The highest mean of SUPs-reusing behavior was "Reusing plastic bag handles" such as putting things or garbage, etc. The highest mean of SUPs-rejecting behavior was “Refuse to accept plastic bags.
