Patong Hill is cursed, so many accidents.

What is the environmemtal impact of these mines for the people of NE Thailand? Last thing we want here are more foreign polluting industries.

So which one are you? Indian or expat who buys his women?

Do you realoy believe that or are you sarcastic?

Lot of tourists, both local and inter, cancelled their trips to Chiang Mai this year due to the smog, so it does have an impact on tourism. Problem is that very powerful companies earn from the pollution and are also making a lot of donations to the people in charge (all the way to the top if you know what I mean).

Seen the high sugar prices, it might be year round soon.

At what cost? Bye bye Surin islands, Laem Song and other national parks with primary rainforests. This part of Thailand is stunning, and soon to be destroyed bye greedy politicians and contractors.

Crucial? Got to be kidding me

No, they wont. Illegal substances fetch a much higher price than 'tolerated' substances. The price of kratomnand cannabis went in a freefall.

A war is between 2 countries and Im pretty sure that the invaded country doesnt consider a war as legal.

hence the comparison with Putin. There are no legal wars.

There is nothing legal in killing innocent civilians.

Could you name a welcome country? Farang people, you probably mean western people , are very welcome in this country imho.

You are trying to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, hence the Putin comparison. Try to educate yourself a bit on what's going on in Gaza, rather than believing everything Fox News wants you to.

Hamas yes, not the people of the Gaza slum. Try not to believe western or propaganda and open your eyes.

Good old Bob using the 'them-against-us' rhetoric again. Why do you choose to live in a country where the locals hate foreigners (in your opinion)?

You sound like Putin.

Not truth, just perception. The way you see Thailand and the Thai people is different than how I see it. A lot of foreigners, especially those at the lower end of the social-economic spectrum will turn each topic in a them-versus-us discussion. Quite sad actually.

Any idea how childish this comment sounds?

Same here, I strongly advise my friends and family members NOT to travel to Thailand from November till May because of the smog. Exception for the south of course. Thailand wants millions of tourists but doesnt care about these serious health issues. As someone already noticed, the solution is easy. Stop agricultural burning.

Very offensive, almost ridiculous, and a clear sign of homophobia caused by either ignorance, religious ignorance or a form of latent homosexuality. You are the reason these Pride parades are necessary.

This canal or land bridge will destroy prime rain forests, and will have a devastating effect on Ko Payam, Ko Chang, Surin NP and Laem Son NP. Better visit the Surin islands while you can as business interests are threatening its beauty.

Beautiful beach near to the idylic Map Ta Phut, a hidden gem.

I guess you didnt read the article.

For who? The Chinese or Thais?
