Residents warned over further temperature drop in the upper region

BANGKOK, 19 January 2014, (NNT) --The upper part of the country will be in for a temperature drop of 6-8 degree Celsius, says Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM). Meanwhile, local authorities are to distribute warm clothing to residents during this wintry period. Furthermore, the Department of Disease Control also suggested ways for the public to keep themselves warm to avoid illnesses caused by cold spell.

According to DDPM’s Director-General, Chatchai Promlert, the Department the mercury has further dropped in parts of Thailand as high pressure ridge from China is spreading over the Northeastern region as well as the South China Sea. This drop of 1-3 degree Celsius combined with the existing cold weather will lead to a further drop of 6-8 degree Celsius in the upper part of the country.

Local authorities have been requested to prepare measures to assist local residents during this harsh wintry condition, including the distribution of warm clothing. Residents may also request assistance at hotline 1784, round the clock.

The Department of Disease Control has also suggested that local residents avoid illnesses during this period. Those under 5 or over 65 years old and those with underlying diseases, including liver and heart diseases, diabetes, or asthma are considered risk groups. They should regularly check their conditions and keep themselves warm at all times.

Warm clothing is a necessity during this time, especially for small children. Regular sip of warm beverages is recommended along with the consumption of food that contains a lot of protein and carbohydrate to bring up body temperature.

Residents should avoid consuming alcoholic beverages, sleeping in an open area, and staying in crowded places where diseases can easily spread. There is also a warning against setting up of a bonfire in a tent or allowing children to sit around one for a long period of time, as it could lead to respiratory problems.

Rice farmer protests in Phichit escalate

BANGKOK, 19 January 2014 (NNT) - Rice farmers from Phichit province block the Asia 117 road for the third day to demand payments from the rice subsidy program while another group is preparing to occupy the City Hall.

More than 300 rice farmers have protested on the Bangkok-bound lanes of the highway, asking for the payments from the government whom they said was still unclear about the matter. The other group of farmer protesters from the same province has announced that they would converge on the City Hall on 19 January at 4 PM to prevent the City Hall’s civil servants from working.

The protests are now aimed at ousting the government after it delayed the payments many times.

RT@Lerlaforever: Suthep: THey planned to shoot me during parade, so I challenged them by walking 3 days in a row

Suthep: The more violence they use, the more people show up in the street, over 100,000.

Suthep: More than 10 people came up with their dogs. One said even my dog fight against this government

Suthep: Prakrong who died was a dress maker. He was the backbone of the family, so we will help his family.

Suthep: His family will survive, through help from us. We will never leave them. We should have over Bt10 million to support them

Suthep: Police instead of keeping us from harm, they send culprits to attack us,

Suthep: THey even put the blame on us, saying that we did it on our own.

Suthep: I guarantee there will b no election on Feb 2. Yingluck's government will be overthrown before that.

Suthep: We will also go close the Government's Saving Bank headquarter too

Suthep; I got complaints that government attempted to force the bank to give money to pay farmers due to the rice-pledging scheme.

Suthep: An inside person then sent me letter asking me to shut down the bank or it would lose all money which comes from ordinary people
