in the absence of an eco-forum I'll post here....

K. Sasin of the The Seub Nakhasathien Foundation has started a one man protest in the hope of brining awareness of the problems a Mae Wong Dam could cause and bring attention to other cheaper solutions that have bee proposed that would have less environment damage.

he will be sitting on a stool outside Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning until they meet to consider the effects of the dam on later this week.

Apart form having dubious merit in helping either irrigation or flooding the dam poses a serious threat to the survival of Thailand's meager and endangered Tiger population. The dam has been knocked back several times over the last couple of decades, the idea for the dam - originally intended for irrigation purposes - was revived after the serious flooding in Bangkok in the last few years.
