  1. Use of averages is very misleading when there are skews in data. It is better to use median or mode to indicate how poor most Britains are.
  2. They should focus on omnipresent yaba trade which is a serious danger to Thailand & Thai families, instead of wasting money pursuing people in the cannabis trade.
  3. Somewhere there is an alternate reality where these cities exist as described.
  4. There needs to be a waste collection system for all rural areas. Currently, everything is burnt. Solve many problems.
  5. Have had more diarrhoea in China than in Thailand. Lived in China for 6 years, now living in northern Thailand. Completely diasgree that one country has worse food than the other in terms of hygiene. Just have to be careful what you eat. Raw seafood tends to be higher risk than cooked or fermented foods
  6. I think focusing on dangers to Thai crops of all types from rising temperatures needs to be paramount. The increasing maximum temperatures, coupled to increased frequency of heat waves will results in decreased flower formation in rice, and seed set. This is for all rice growing countries. Coupled to increased floods & droughts represent and massive danger to Thailand. Increased focus on potential new crops e.g. the heat tolerant Coffea stenophylla[appararently as ggod as the some of the best Coffea arabica] (especially tree crops within agroforestry systems) for Thailand, is critical for trade & for resilience of Thai society. Doing something about the pollution levels would massively help crops in northern & central Thailand given the impacts of this stress on photosynthesis. Plus promotion of non-chemically focused agriculture would help with the value of crops to Thailand. Lots more could be done with actions, NOT just words.
  7. Reforestation is good, but need to also deal with excessive undergrowth that provides fuel for fires. Suggestion, deer used to be very common in Thailand but were poached to extinction in most parts. Maybe reintroduce deer, this would have a benefit of reducing undergrowth, and I am sure some will disappear into the cooking pot of local rural thais reducing food poverty.
  8. Dearv All, Apologies. Forgot to check the date!!!!!
  9. A very efficient way to drive tourists away to other areas of Thailand, and other countries. Requiring tourists to wear masks but not Thais is silly, medically stupid, and discriminatory with NO rational basis.
  10. Brilliant news, my BF & myself can now start initial planning for when the Royal Assent happens and we can marry. Should also result in a lot of gay tourists coming to get married.
