Pita is the big thorn in Thaksin's side that just will not go away. Love to see it. Thailand deserves much better

This is the solution to over tourism is it, how does that work?

so it's pronounced "Penik Project"? just so I know

Strange, according to worldometer, Thailands pesticide use is 1/3rd that being reported here at 35,000 tonnes. 113,000 tonnes would put it in 4th place in the world which for a country size of Thailand is outrageous really, 25% more than Canada

seems like good news. was planning on getting the Vientiane-Xishuangbanna train next Spring so this will help if it runs

Thailand is the hub of expat crims

Good idea. More big cities should adopt this scheduling thing with HGV’s

what on earth does that mean?

Another useless article. His family need to know exactly how he died.

Isn't almost all of the property built over past 25 years on Samui and Phangan etc all done with these proxy Thai shareholder schemes? Why did lawyers and sellers push it if it was not legal?

Ha! great news, bound to be a lot of very unhappy people though as the marijuana boom seemed to be growing exponentially, and therein lies the problem. The industry grew far too quickly and attracted all those get rich quick types dreaming of a life of luxury. If it had stayed calm and understated it might have had a chance but instead it became more and more glamourous, and shops became like bars or clubs, and was bound to attract a lot of attention from those anti-marijuana.
