Thai farmers are expected to face a tough year in 2019 as the drought will be more acute than usual, lowering the water levels in reservoirs in the central and northeastern provinces.


Director General of Department of Agricultural Extension Samran Saraban said the drought this year is exacerbated by El-Nino weather event which causes temperature to rise 1-2 degrees Celsius than normal and cause the water levels in major reservoirs to drop to worrisome level.


As Thailand’s drought this year may persist to June, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has called for farmers not to grow off-season rice as drought is spreading into northeastern and eastern regions.

Ask Pattaya for a water loan and shipment. The streets were full of it this past money-greedfest, also known as Songkran.
