Deputy PM Prawit proceeds with forest restoration project in Chiang Mai

CHIANG MAI (NNT) - The Deputy Prime Minister, Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, together with people from various sectors, have planted ironwood trees to help restore fire-ravaged forests in the northern province of Chiang Mai.

 

At Doi Suthep forest area in Chiang Mai’s Mae Rim district, Gen. Prawit today launched a project to encourage Thai people to contribute to forest restoration by planting trees and increasing green spaces.

 

More than 300 people as well as representatives of government agencies and private firms participated in the event by planting ironwood trees in all 25 districts of Chiang Mai at the same time. Seedlings were distributed to heads of government agencies to help restore forest areas.

 

The Deputy Prime Minister said the tree growing activity aims to encourage everyone to help conserve forest resources and support all sectors in jointly restoring forest areas damaged by wildfires earlier this year.

Not sure this can be fully commented on without getting in trouble. 

Sure re-planting / re-generating forests is important and valuabele,

 

But I wonder why this gets a big ceremony when there's still much serious work needed to stop fires and therefore prevent serious health risks to kids and the elderly and all citizens?

Thought they were going to build some luxury homes for entitled civil servants.  

 

Just Ironwood trees?  There are no other trees in Thai forests?  What is the Thai translation for "bio diversity".   Its a step forward from condos.   

The guy in the background to the right looks like he's about to sh!t himself. Or is that Prayut sneaking up on him with a GT200 in his hand?

I can't see the wheelchair

That would make a change, on 1 of Prawits visits to Issan, it was him who s++t himself.

Now just think, what would happen if they had a detector that detects s++t, and they took it into government house, bloody thing would overload.:cheesy:????:cheesy:????:cheesy:

Having a guy like Prawit as the representative for this project, is akin to using Justin Bieber to promote the new JPL facility. It would be like asking Trump to head a science forum, or inviting Kim or Putin to head a forum on human rights, or press freedom. What is truly astonishing is that he is still around, and considered useful on any level. Safe to say, generals rarely ever get demoted here. 

I see he has his little black mask on in preparation for the air pollution debacle and a return to most polluted city on the planet status! Good show.????  

Prawatch is certainly getting his priorities right - when the country is in turmoil he goes planting trees. 
Or, does he eventually evaluate, where in protected zones one could build the next dozens of villas for overworked judges or army executives? 

The guy on the right has "Say no" on his shirt ...but I can't read the rest. Any ideas? 

Better social distance the trees-they will just torch them again ????

Ironic that he is planting trees. Those government accommodations at Doi Suthep bottom hill part sure killed a lot of trees.

He'd be better donating himself as forest fertiliser

Looks like the guy in the back of the photo in the grey shirt just followed through hahaha
