An Evaluation of Drought Risk Area in Northeast Thailand using Remotely Sensed Data and GIS In northeast Thailand, mean annual rainfall is about 1285 mm./annum, the region has yet significant impact of drought in a various part of the region (Wongvitawas 1993).

An indirect impact of the underdevelopment of the Northeast is the rising incidence of child labor in Thailand.

Travel guide for northeast Thailand Too often ignored by the travellers to Thailand, the northeast region of Thailand, also known as I-san, is a wildly colourful and interesting region which is well worth allowing some time to explore.

This adventure vacation is an excellent introduction to diverse Thailand; travel to the remote forest clad mountains of Northern Thailand to the reef-fringed tropical islands of Southern Thailand, from hill-tribe villages lost in the mountains to the vibrant capital, Bangkok. www.travelfish.org /region/thailand/northeast_thailand   (332 words)

Stuart's Life in Thailand: Thailand: NorthEast Archives I have been spending the last few days in Isaan (Northeast Thailand).
