	Thailand, Land of Contrasts
		Thailand is commonly divided into four regions: the north, the northeast, the central region, and the south.
		Thailand's northeast consists mostly of the Khorat Plateau (a plateau is a fairly flat, elevated expanse of land; Khorat is an important city after which the plateau is named.) This region is arid and its soil is not very fertile.
		Thailand's most important natural resources, though, cannot be valued or marketed: her industrious people and her fertile soil.

	ZNet \|Asia \| Thai Coup In Hot Soup
		Thailandâs first Prime Minister Pridi Banomyong, was ousted by the Thai military way back in the late thirties for advocating an allegedly âcommunistâ economic policy of land reforms and state planning.
		Thailand did have a communist party, like many other countries in the region, but it turned into a low key armed insurgency only in the early fifties after being banned and prevented from functioning openly.
		In other words Thailand is faced with the amazing situation where there seem to be leftists of different shades all over the place but not a single left party to give electoral expression to their ideas and aims.

	Alternative agriculture in Thailand and Japan
		In Thailand this is partly explained by the fact that agro-forestry (an important component of permaculture agriculture), has, until recently, not been favored by small holder Thai farmers.
		One obstacle to the growth of organic farming in Thailand is the lack of a recognized national certification scheme, this is not the case in Japan where in 1993 the Japan Association Standard, administered by the Ministry of Agriculture, forestry and Fisheries, was introduced to classify organic produce into six different categories.
		Although the present status of alternative agriculture in Thailand and Japan is small, in terms of the number of participating farmers, it is true to say that there has been an exponential growth in the number of farmers, consumers, NGOs, multilateral organizations and governments who are expressing concerns over the failure of conventional agriculture.

	Thailand sets its sights on gross domestic 'happiness'
		Thailand has long been intrigued by the concept, which appeals to its Buddhist values, but developing a measure of a nation's happiness is also a growing field of study in economics and psychology.
		Even though Thailand bills itself as the 'Land of Smiles', one international study this year found that Thailand is less happy than neighbours like Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia.
		Thailand's own economic think-tank, the National Economic and Social Development Board, is trying to develop a broader measure of national prosperity.

	Green Left - THAILAND: Farmers protest WTO, demand fair trade
		Thailand's government is part of a broad coalition of developing countries, led by India and Brazil, formed to counter the economic muscle that the US and EU enjoy within WTO forum.
		In Thailand, the impact of these subsidies and enforced trade liberalisation have forced thousands of farmers and their families to migrate to Bangkok in search of increasingly scarce factory or labouring work.
		As Lai Lerngram, a farmer from Surin province in north-eastern Thailand, stated: “To patent jasmine rice or to misuse its name is plundering from the poor.

		Riding a motorcycle or scooter in Thailand can be dangerous. On average 38 people a day die in motorcycle accidents in Thailand. You should take the same safety precautions as in the UK. The Thai law that safety helmets must be worn is widely ignored: a contributing factor in many tourist deaths each year.

		Services and facilities in most areas of Thailand affected by the tsunami, including Phuket, are now operating normally.

	Print news - IPS Inter Press Service
		Yet as sections of Thailand celebrate the moment, including headlines as ‘'TRT sinking like Titanic'' in Tuesday's edition of ‘The Nation', there is a case being made by some analysts and pro-poor activists that man and the party may be gone but the impact the TRT has made since 2001 may continue for years.
		Thailand's urban and rural poor came out in millions to back the TRT in the 2001 and 2005 polls that made it a dominant political force the likes of which had not been seen since Thailand became a constitutional monarchy in 1932.
		In 1998, he formed the TRT at a time when Thailand was reeling under the 1997 financial crisis and there was anger at the old political order and neo-liberal economic policies that it had endorsed.

		This act of censorship by your government is out of character with Thailand's commitment to press freedom.
		Thailand has often demonstrated its serious commitment to press freedom and open government, and any backtracking from that commitment is deeply worrisome.
		We are particularly concerned by the use of the 1941 Publishing Act, a law that the Thai Journalists Association and others have criticized as being out of step with the press freedom guarantees contained in the 1997 Constitution.

	Tantalum and Thailand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Description In late 1985, the Thailand Tantalum Industry Corporation began building a refinery to produce tantalum, a valuable metal by-product of tin-processing that is used in aerospace, computer, and nuclear components, in a residential neighborhood on the island of Phuket.
		Phuket residents had long been subjected to the environmental degradation caused by a thriving local tin industry, watching helplessly as their livelihood, the sea, itself, was ruined by zealous corporate mining tactics.
		Although it is difficult to hazard a guess, it seems that sink problems of pollution and waste will have the greatest impact on the sea, damaging the livelihoods of native fisherman.

	CTTC - The Impressed Tortoise, Manouria impressa by William Espenshade and James Buskirk
		He concurs with McMorris and Burns (1975) in declaring the habitat to be "fairly dry and generally away from the water bodies, so this tortoise relies instead on dew or rain-drenched vegetation." The same author cites the altitude parameters as 700-2,000 meters, both considerably higher than those figures as reported in feet by Wirot (1979).
		However, this tortoise had seemed heat-stressed during a failure of the air conditioning unit in the room in which it was housed, burying itself beneath the water dish for the duration of the 32°C heat wave and has since died when there was a prolonged interruption in air conditioning.
		Even protected habitats in Thailand may be subject to poaching, and the rapidity of habitat destruction and impact of war elsewhere in the region lend little optimism for the long-term survival of this delicate species.
