Thailand State Subsidies And Land Titles

[David Peters]

Always difficult to farm in Thailand when the government keeps interfering in price fixing (rubber, cassava, rice come to mind). Here is an interesting article on this subject:

Also some readers of this forum may wonder why their farm titles are not clear cut. Here is some history on this subject:

The first site is zen journalist, but when you follow the link :

Sorry for any inconvenience.

The page you are trying to visit has been blocked by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology.

I'll try again when I'm in Hong Kong. There are other links to other sites, I read the articles and I understand better why the censure.

But I'm mostly interested in research regarding the origin of the current mess with landownership titles. Do you have any other sources ?
