Totally agree with Dang!
since thais got blue pipe water pumped from underground the have given up on storage altogether! As an Aussie farmer I have tried to get 20,000 litre plus pvc tanks but in Thailand the expense is Crazy. Soon they will realise water is a commodity and start to treasure it! I hope!

Apart from all the nay sayers, Thailand is a great place but not in the rainy season! How stupid do you think the modern educated traveller is? They know half the restaurants are closed, Ko Samui is like its shut shop, the girls in Pattaya and Patong have taken holidays back home in Isan.
They will be back in the high season maybe a little wiser and maybe a fewer number but TAT needs to clean up its act now. Customs clearance times, rip offs with Taxis etc etc.
The food, the culture, the magnificent natural attractions and the lifestyle are what tourists want not the bars and girls as much as they were in the past!
Time for Thailand to be active in the tourism race or loose the race to Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar or the pacific Islands!

Wow! Why don’t foreigners do a little reading before giving their hearts ( and dicks) and money to Thai girls?
Wake up boys! If she’s on her back in Pattaya or Patong don’t fall in love in the first 6 months!

How many Thais pool a lift to Bangkok or back home for a special event and all contribute to the cost of fuel?
This is normal decency!

I will go to the Government Office but hope to build enough local Nong Pong support first to get a crowd with me.

As a recent resident in Nong Pong village, part of Wichian Buri I was horrified at the state of the road to our village which has had no major maintenance for years!
Further to this I was absolutely appalled that effluent from sewerage operators is being dumped in sugar cane fields. Our town relies on ground water for everything and the thought of contamination is horrific.
i have sent the following letter to the District Government Office and would like anyone who has further experience to comment.
Chief Executive
Wichian Buri District Office
Provincial Highway 2012, Tha Rong, Wachian Buri, Phetchabun, 67130
DEAR SIR/MADAM
I am an Australian farang living in the Nong Pong village part of the Borang of the Wichian Buri District.
I wish to raise with your office a number of concerns which are the responsibility of the
District Office.
Firstly, the state of the road from Wichian Buri to Nong Pong which has fallen into total disrepair. Yes this has been partially due to floods, however the lack of any maintenance now making the road virtually unusable!
It is imperative that action is taken to grade and reset the road level to permit water drainage on the unsurfaced sections. The sealed sections urgently need potholes repaired or the road will further deteriorate and become irreversible and further deterioration will result.
The second matter I wish to raise is that of private effluent removalist dumping human excrement in sugar can fields along the Wichian Buri to Nong Pong Road. The Government Officials should exercise the local powers to fine and prosecute these operators. The practice is extremely dangerous to human health and could result in an epidemic of very large proportion.
I am happy to discuss these matter, however my Thai is limited and would suggest any discussion be in English.
Yours faithfully
