  1. Why don't the rice farmers form a co-op and not sell to the Govt - then at least they will earn more per tonne. Or is this not part of the socialist PTP plan? This was done by the grain growers in other countries, stored the stocks, sold a portion to keep the flow going, then when the market demand crept up, they sold at a higher price. It was orderly, sensible and bypassed the stupidity of the Govt making the top dollar and passing nothing back to the farmers.

    simple: middlemen and politicians will not get their "fair" share of the harvest!

  2. I have done the trip a few times. Do expect a delay of 4hrs or beyond and usually you get ferry to Butterworth by Malaysia coach from Padang Besar instead.

    The best option is alight at Hat Yai and take a minibus to Danok-Sadao check-point to complete the visa run.

  3. "BANGKOK: -- The Tourism Authority of Thailand is promoting the country as the medical and wellness hub in Asia, against head-on competition from Hong Kong and South Korea, by organising the Medical and Wellness Tourism Trade Fam Trip."

    I wonder why they omitted mentioning Singapore & Malaysia which really their real competitors, especially so after 2015 when asean is a single market!

    You can't see the merits in a climate study specifically covering monsoon weather given the flooding problems last year??? IT would be a shame if such valuable research does not go ahead because of the politics of nationalism.

    The flood happened up north then flowed downward to the south. I wonder why not ChiangRai or Myanmar?

  5. It's interesting to see him refer to Hitler and Mussolini, both of whom used the power of the military to impose their will on their own people. This on a day when it's reported that the politicians are courting the military high command again.

    Surely he can see that being the beneficiary of a military coup is the ultimate anti democratic act? Hypocrite.

    How did he benefit from a military coup? Surely that was Samak

    agreed!
