What is the environmemtal impact of these mines for the people of NE Thailand? Last thing we want here are more foreign polluting industries.

So which one are you? Indian or expat who buys his women?

At what cost? Bye bye Surin islands, Laem Song and other national parks with primary rainforests. This part of Thailand is stunning, and soon to be destroyed bye greedy politicians and contractors.

Crucial? Got to be kidding me

No, they wont. Illegal substances fetch a much higher price than 'tolerated' substances. The price of kratomnand cannabis went in a freefall.

A war is between 2 countries and Im pretty sure that the invaded country doesnt consider a war as legal.

hence the comparison with Putin. There are no legal wars.

There is nothing legal in killing innocent civilians.

You are trying to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, hence the Putin comparison. Try to educate yourself a bit on what's going on in Gaza, rather than believing everything Fox News wants you to.

Hamas yes, not the people of the Gaza slum. Try not to believe western or propaganda and open your eyes.

You sound like Putin.

Same here, I strongly advise my friends and family members NOT to travel to Thailand from November till May because of the smog. Exception for the south of course. Thailand wants millions of tourists but doesnt care about these serious health issues. As someone already noticed, the solution is easy. Stop agricultural burning.

Very offensive, almost ridiculous, and a clear sign of homophobia caused by either ignorance, religious ignorance or a form of latent homosexuality. You are the reason these Pride parades are necessary.

This canal or land bridge will destroy prime rain forests, and will have a devastating effect on Ko Payam, Ko Chang, Surin NP and Laem Son NP. Better visit the Surin islands while you can as business interests are threatening its beauty.

I guess you didnt read the article.

For who? The Chinese or Thais?

Thank you very much

Has anyone in our esteemed government done the math on the logistical and financial parts of this future pipe dream? If have not seen any numbers or estimates, but the amount of traffic between the 2 ports will make traffic in Bangkok look like child's play.

You must be very proud!

Also utter nonsense/drivel. How can you compare Phuket to Benidorm? Infrastructure in Spain vs Thailand.

Any other climate condition? Smog isnt a flijate condition, you know? About 30,000 people die each year because of the burning, many more end up in hospital, but you have never been bothered by it. Are you a chain smoker?

The air was not acceptable last November- January and heavily polluted from Feb till May.

Maybe you should tell us what part of Thailand you are talking about. The different aprts of the country have their own 'smog season'. The south has less smog issues than the rest of the country in general. The north is heavily polluted from end November until May.

Same here in Phuket, where the island's infrastructure is worse than 25 years ago.

Maybe, just maybe too many Thai Leo/Singha drinkers are consuming less beer and more cannabis. The relaxed annabis policies are possibly hurting the big beer families.
