    Mass tourism is a complete enviromental disaster for the natural beauty of the island. It's such a great place that it needs quality tourists, if could just build up some infrustructure, cut out the scams, etc 

    Phuket is the epicentre of the south... attracting millions of tourists and billions of baht... forget infrastructure, safety,  and sustainability, the only thing important to TAT and the government are rising tourist numbers to say we are on the road to economic recovery..

    Since the warrant, Wuttichai had been evading capture, frequently changing jobs. His luck ran out when he posted a provocative message on Facebook, mocking the police’s inability to catch him. In his post, Wuttichai dared the police, claiming no authority could apprehend him. He even disclosed his location, boasting about his evasion skills.

     

     

    “Which cop dares to arrest someone like me? I’ve been wanted since 2007. No cop is brave enough. I’m in Ta Khun; come if you can.”

    We came, we saw, you're nicked.

    They shouldn't take money and food in the first place.

    Real monks in European countries are self sufficient .

    They don't go begging.

    They have farms for Vegs /Cattle  and the Trappist Monks they make Beer.

    The Buddhist faith requires renunciation.. the giving up of all material goods, and working for money.

    It relies totally on donations.

    The map shown above is interesting.

     

    Path (1) - ship to rail to ship ie loading & unloading & reloading - makes little sense.

     

    But Paths (2) & (3) could work: Either rail to ship & on, or ship to rail & on. But you probably don't need a land bridge for that, just a decent port on the Andaman Sea with good rail connection to the north.

    Agreed, a good high speed freight railway from the north and east heading towards west coast would be much better and cheaper.
