Isn't the eastern line in Malaysia metre gauge?, and isn't the Kunming railway supposed to be standard gauge throughout? Is there any std gauge line in Thailand

This happens in every country when women realise they do have a choice between careers and being a mum. Good for them. This is something economists need to work out, because the answer sure as heck isn't the current view of ever expanding growth and capitalism

Yes that is terrible and Hamas are nutters, but do you think exploding bombs on pregnant women is somehow OK or better? Dead is dead. Both sides are utterly immoral

Thailand has developed from the top down. all the available money in the system has already been funnelled to the top where it will stay

Water security! Keep saying it because it is true. Thailand needs another 3-6 huge new reservoirs to help stabilise water supply in coming years. No room for NIMBY's

I see, so inconvenience tens of thousands on flight paths so a few hotel owners don't have to lower their prices.

This has been proposed for over 7 years now, and should be done asap to provide certainty of water supplies in the North, much better than many other vanity projects

some good news at last!

Pfft!

Water water from shrimp farms is loaded with Nitrates and Phosphates, food for plankton, which grow so quickly they consume all the available Oxygen in the water which in turn kills all the fish

India bans non basmati rice exports and magically Thailand manages to increase it's own non basmati rice exports. Bravo

He's said something relevant! Thailand does or will need in the near future better water management. More reservoirs would be a good start

The main purpose of the exercise is for China to assess the threat Thailand poses should China's invasion of south sea islands near Vietnam turn into something bigger

Hope the new government abolishes these silly defamation laws.

is ladyboy not a polite word anymore in Thailand?
