Another example of NO safety!!, life is cheap in Thailand !!! Thailnd has a Plethora of Safety procedures and laws, but No education or enforcement .

Do Thais not learn !!! Elephants are wild animals, they can not be controlled by pulling on its ears !! this is just absolutely stupid !!

Rubbish !!! Asian elephants are native to Thailand, They have been in Thailand for millions of years and are a significant part of Thai culture.

I normally buy Thai baht at a bank at the country i am working at, who cares if there is a record Thailand will not know !! If this is Tied to visas their will be ways and means, Thailand is a courpt country. FIFO (Fly in Fly out)

Commercial SMRs are new technology.Small reactors were first designed mostly for military purposes in the 1950s only China and Russia have successfully built Commercial operational SMRs, SMRs do, however, also have economic disadvantages. Several studies suggest that the overall costs of SMRs are comparable with those of conventional large reactors. Moreover, extremely limited information about SMR modules transportation has been published. Critics say that modular building will only be cost-effective for a high number of the same SMR type, given the still remaining high costs for each SMR. A high market share is thus needed to obtain sufficient orders. Why Thailand is thinking about this is Stupid !! it is not cost effective and who will bear the cost the consumer, electric cost will go up !!

None!!

This is what is called "grasping at straws"

Pipe dream !!!

And thats where People, make the mistake !! Thinking Thaskin is honest !!

Well iam sorry but this is a very rambing post does not make sence !! is the dementia kicking in???

Elephants are a protected and endangered species

Think you are right, They have no idea!! this is Typical Thai knee jerk reaction, the tourist have stopped going to these so called Elephant sanctuarys, and are now panicking, losing money,!! They dont care about the elephants ?? They are now saying that all of the Elephant sanctuarys should be brought up to the "Q"mark standard and All licensed camps are expected to bear the Q trademark by this year, "Do they know What they are saying !!!" Q is a food safety mark certified by ACFS to assure customers the product meets the standards listed in the Agriculture Product Standard Act 2008, which makes sure sourcing, components and processing methods adhere to safety standards. The Q mark by the way is a Thai standard it is not a international standard. "Visitor safety is our priority," said Boonyakrit Pinprasong, deputy chief of the Livestock Department, which is in charge of 245 elephant camps and sanctuaries nationwide. We have to make sure their practices on safety and animal welfare protections are in line with the law." He said the elephant camp where the incident occurred did not register with the department and was unlicensed. In August last year, he said, the department issued regulations for elephant facilities which could have helped prevent the tragedy. "These are to ensure domesticated elephants are living in a good environment, have no disease, are free from any torture and that the facility conducts safety practices for visitors," he said. "All elephant facilities are required to register and be inspected regularly," it is clear that this guy does not know what he is talking about Elephants for one are Not domesticated, "Amazing Thailand"

This is correct ! Noem Chamnanchartsakda bequeathed the land to Wat Dhammamikaramvoraviharn, with a caveat that the land was not to be sold. but the Mahamongkut Ratchawittayalai Foundation, illegally sold the land, this has been going on for years !!

From walton

Now that is a good informitve post, better than you first 2 agro posts, Not really into Nuclear power stations, Turbine power stations is more me G7, G9 duel fuel, but in my opinion SMR is not for thailand Cost to much better "buck"is turbines as i said EGAT have these already, but i still stand by Thailands safety record is Not good nor is its maintance record yes Thais can run power station have no doubt, But to what safety level and maintance, and Thailands Quality control is very bad Just take an example of the transmission lines, very little maintance every time it rains there is a power cut due to poor maintance of tree falling poles ect

This is what is called Assumption !! No facts

well lets just correct a couple of minor points, SMR are only max 300MWe, dont know what is MWt ???? and yes, basicly dig a hole,!! But it is the maintenance of the Aux pumps ect, and if not maintaied your in big trouble with a nuclear reactor, Chernobyl comes to mind, plus the cost of these SMR are in the billions (Baht), conventional turbines G7 or G9 lot cheaper, and EGAT have and own, the SMR's will not be owned by Thailand, i would suspect china !! Thailand does not have a great safey record nor in maintaning equipment, which are facts, there are lots of posts that are ignorant, but there is no need to go and abuse some one because of there lack of knowledge,that is what a forum is, posters post hearsay and rumors, i belive the poster was just trying to make a joke!!

Just to be clear you are saying SMR's do not have to be maintained ?? and I dont think calling some one ignorant, is showing respect ??

Why do they want to give birth control to an endangered species ??? What is Thailands sustainable population control!! does not give a figure. They need to bring these so called Elephant sanctuaries into line and STOP the cruelty,

The news are now reporting that Paetongtarn to issue safety message to Chinese tourists pleading to come back to Thailand as Thailand is safe,!! I dont think the chinese are that gullable to belive her, Thailand is NOT safe!!

I am not sure where they get these numbskulls from, ( Police remain vigilant but stress that there is no credible threat to the Thai premier’s visit. They believe the incident is a deliberate attempt by opposition elements to disrupt public order. ) there is still resentment in regard to the lack of action by her in regard to Tak Bai, if that is not a credible threat I dont know what is !!

Just a money spinner for the Thaskin clan ( If the revocation occurs, the current owners will require compensation, which will be calculated based on the land’s current market value,) this was the Wat Dhammamikaramvoraviharn,land and was basicly stolen from them !!

That would be good !! but how would you do it since they gave themselves immunity from prosecution

Yes he was voted in Many many years ago ! that was the past !! so you think it is ok to kill people,!! he was responsile for killing people, he was convicted for coruption, if this was my country i dont think i would want a convicted felon running the country !! yes Thaskin 's goverment did bring in some good policys and he took the glory!! when it was his advisors who made the policys Not thaskin, dont forget for one minute that Thaskin is for the Thai people, he only cares about himself and his clan As far as Payut not a fan but his was a lot better that Thaskin and sister (who did not have a clue) and now we have another clan member and again clueless, and yes!! as things progess cars and things get more expensive that is life!! my advice stop living in the past !!

yep that might cause a slight problem but,!! Thailand is a courupt country and Thai's are greedy so let it play out
