Thailand seems to be completely reliant on the annual monsoon. I dread to think what would happen if one year the monsoon failed. I think it is theoretically possible.

For the moonshoon to fail would mean the Great moderater of earth the Hadley Cell would stop and the Hadley cell is created from the suns heat. Also the Jetsstream and then the Golf stream would stop working.. And that would mean a total restart of mother earth and the end of all life on planet earth. .

Now what would be more possible is that the moonshoon rain would go up or down a few altittude or lattitude which could happend and is showing signs of it.

There is a huge difference in how we see detained criminals innocent or not.

In Thailand its like US you are guilty untill proven innocent.

We who live in EU are use to you are innocent untill proven guilty.

Now its all about how you see it.

Personally I am against anything that kills people and destroys the planet Peace out

Why is assistance to farmers always referred to as a scheme?

Farming is very difficult.

Environmental conditions and market fluctuations make i event more difficult, sometimes impossible to make ends meet.

Without assistance many could not farm.

What would the world eat without farms?

Farming has always been a gamble, assistance guarantees that people can continue to farm, even in bad times.

Assistance to farmers in tough times is insurance....not a scheme.

Do you even know anything about farming?

Farming is not difficult if you love it and know what you are doing. Enviroment have not changed that much otherwise our forest would not survive it.

a farmer who needs assistance should really look for another job.

I think lets still give Prayut a chance, having to clean up a after a teenagers party, often takes a looooong time to clean up

Yes Never miss a good change to shut up

I follow the old universal rule. What was one many most be one, what is one must be many

i use the trap as well. I bought a plastic disc shaped dish to feed my hens in. The roaches come at night to feast on the crumbs, but cannot get out. In the morning, the hens are greated with hundreds (depending on the time of year) of treats.

I have been warned by well meaning friends that with this large concentration of roaches in their diet, they will suffer wilh parasite issues. After 3 years, so far, so good:)

Haha and there I thought it was a question about Zen .. the Zen Zen

Ragzilb said and I quote" The Shins have a lot of money invested in Thailand and countried around Thailand as well."

Care to elaborate at little more on the names of these interests and their links to the Shinawatras? A little investigation into these interests might be needed to see if positions in power were abused acquiring these interests. Corruption is their middle name.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intouch_Holdings

and the list goes on

I dont like the Shins never had.. Hope they never come back or hurt any other people for that matter. But there is an old saying "theres a calm before the storm"

The Shins have a lot of money invested in Thailand and countried around Thailand as well, Dont think we have seen the last of them yet. I would put a world wide bounty on them and have them brought to court so we can be sure we are rid of them for ever.

Peace and all the love for Thailand and Khun Thai.

So the Euro and AUD are falling apart at the same time, whats the correlation for this ?

China.

China is not the cause of this....The US dollars is aso called petrodollar and cause of the Oil going down in price Petrodollar goes up too. But its not a good scenario we are looking at in the future if the Oil keep fall.

<script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

Whoa folks, please take a chill pill. This is not a surprise and NOT new. There is no conspiracy and was expected.

The Chinese had observer status last year. In 2014, the USA invited China to participate in the humanitarian and civil assistance (HCA) portion of the exercise, where 17 members of the PLA assisted in the building of a school in northern Thailand and participated in the exercises civic health engagement events.

Why this is a surprise is beyond me. The Chinese participated in the far more extensive and longer RIMPAC exercise in Hawaii last year.
Cobra Gold's 2015 focus will be on humanitarian relief preparation and to a lesser extent anti piracy training. It is to be expected that the Chinese would participate as the recent events involving the loss of the Air Asia and Malaysian airline airplanes underlined the need to co-ordinate search and rescue resources.

By the way, the US navy and Chinese navy have had a few joint anti piracy training exercises in the Gulf of Aden over the past few years.
Why is it such a shock when navies undertake peaceful training exercises? How else do people expect them to work together when a crisis arises?

Fair enough, but the timing is obviously political, the abrupt cancellation (above post), and Thailand and China already have separate training programs.

It's clearly a crude move to signal to the US that China is a suitor too, so they better shape up. Not a good move, and also the Japanese won't like it. The Africans also were happy to see the Chinese at first instead of having those European hypocrits lecture them. If you want business as usual where the rich get bribed to sell out their own countrymen, the Chinese will be great for that.

Having been involved with the Cobra Gold and Cope Tiger exercises for a number of years I know this not to be the case. Do you think a country has a quick get together and invites neighbors to a bbq or something? The exercise and participants have been scheduled since last year. At least a year prior to that the governments had to talk about the participation.

The US has held numerous exercise over the years with China and for that matter many other countries.

Not everything is a conspiracy theory guys.

But this is news to some of the Fox watching red neck members of TV, who wear their bias' so obviously on their sleeves

Let's face it its not the worse that has been done, inviting the Taliban to a Texas BBQ must rank far worse than involving commie Chinese in some military exercises

Most of the Fox News viewers dont even know that Fox is owned by the Arab Royal Family

Humans have been modifying plants for centuries.

I can remember back in school many years ago being taught about a Monk (French Italian) who cross bred wheat, I think.

Cross bred two tall plants and got a result. crossbred a tall plant and a short plant. Got a result. Crossbred two small plants. Got a result. And documented the results and went on to breed the best of them. Probably the worlds first geneticist.

Why not use science to our advantage?

Then again the naysayers of genetic engineering based on science are the same mob who scream climate change...based on science!!!

you really dont know what you talk about, GMO and Cross pollinating is not the same. Crosspollinating is simple can be done with your fingers from one flower to another.

GMO is inserting in a LAB a bacteria into a vegetable, like fish DNA into Tomato that has only been done for about 40 years and was introduced to consumers in the start of the 90's so its not something we have done for many years, and we really dont have any clue to what it might do to our health. but its your body and your life. My only hope is that for those who dont want that crap will be offered the change to choose by labelling or making GMO areas in the supermarket.

Mangroves are the most fertile systems on the planet and should never be touched, they are the original ecosystems if all other fails.

The dollar is stronger, Russia is collapsing, and oil prices are plummeting.

What of the Oil Prices, and how could it end this year?

With oil prices at about half what they were six months ago, the most vulnerable players in the oil business, the frackers who brought about the new American Oil Revolution, are imploding. If you think that’s just their end of the boat sinking, no worries here, think again. They are, or were, the last best hope of continuing the oil bonanza, and they’re done. As soon as that fact is so obvious that even Faux News has to admit it (this may take a few months), it will dawn on us all that the very same thing is happening to the deep water drillers, the Arctic drillers and the tar sands wringers.

It would have happened at any oil price. The slump has merely brought it on sooner, and will force us to face — this year! — the reality that we will never again have quite enough cheap oil. That’s the meaning of the Crash of 2015. Now, about the schedule: Here’s what’s happened, what’s happening and what’s about to happen.

Old News (Since January 1)

WBH Energy files for bankruptcy protection. American Eagle Energy suspends all drilling operations. US Steel to close two plants making steel pipe for oil drillers, laying off 750. Dallas Federal Reserve Bank sees job losses of 250,000 in eight states.

New News (Last couple of days)

Resolute Energy, operating in Texas, Utah and Wyoming, has just borrowed $150 million from the “alternative” investment group Highbridge Capital at an effective interest rate (after fees, guarantees and other legerdemain) of as much as 25%. That is not a typo – twenty five per cent interest. It would be bad enough if Resolute had to borrow to keep on drilling, but this loan was taken for the sole purpose of avoiding default on previous debt (which, if negotiated more than six months ago in the prevailing market, probably cost around six per cent).

Sanchez Energy, after having announced a reduction in its capital spending plans in November, announced a second cut that brings its capital budget down to half what it was expected to be. This was one of several such announcements from around the world as the oil companies try to preserve cash by not spending as much on developing new wells.

Laricina Energy, operating in the Canadian tar sands with $1.3 billion in equity financing (from stock sales) and $150 million in four-year notes, is in default on the notes and needs another $350 million to do what it’s doing. Next step: probably liquidation.

News About to Happen

Any notion that this is all a temporary supply/demand correction in the oil business, and only the oil business, of a kind that we’ve seen many times before and that will right itself shortly, can most kindly be described as delusional. Here’s why.

These operators cannot simply shut down their wells and sit on their hands waiting for prices to go back up, because they are up to their eyeballs in debt, much of which has to be rolled over every few months, or they go out of existence. That is why they will pump oil until they are carried off in nets, because that’s the only way they can get any money. (That also explains why Saudi Arabia will not cut production to boost prices; that would cost the Saudis more than selling at low prices.)

The total amount of debt being carried by the fracking industry right now is double the amount of debt that was involved in subprime mortgages in 2008. The discovery that the 2008 debt was based on fictional assets and nonexistent ability to pay brought the economy of the world to its knees. If you believe that the current bubble will not do the same thing when the cost of credit triples (see Resolute Energy, above), the underlying assets vaporize (for example, the future value of a deposit of oil that cannot be recovered at a profit), taking with them into the ether the imaginary money that has been propping the whole industry up — if you believe the results will not be similar, I have some junk bonds to sell you.

Much of the money used to buy the junk bonds and provide the leveraged loans (meaning loans that no one in their right mind would ever grant given the security offered and the demonstrated ability to repay) has itself been borrowed. When the bottom floor of this house of cards collapses, it is not going to leave untouched the top floors. Imaginary money can buy stuff only when it is in motion. When the music stops, you discover that there aren’t any chairs to find safety in. None.

There is no democracy anywhere in the world.

Monsanta, Synagi, Dupont, Microsoft, WHO, WTO and so on, same Rotchchild company different name.

You do the math, same company that sponsored Vietnam and gave us napalm, now gives us orange agent, GMO, all biocides, nothing good comes from those companies please dont ever listen to the lies they tell you, I hope Thailand never get GMO.
