» Re: "Dusit Zoo successor to open next year", (BP, July 22). Although the new zoo is a most welcome development in principle, I can't picture Babar and his odd choice of chums cooperating in this Arcadian fantasy.

» Re: “Govt seeks source of alien fish influx”, (BP, July 21). It was with incredulity that I read, “Govt seeks source of alien fish influx”. The source will never be found of course, since a predatory bird could have dropped a pregnant tilapia from high in the air — any newly formed body of freshwater in Thailand will soon be populated with fish in just this manner.
Fishy failures

» Re: "Time to solve fish invasion", (Editorial, July 19) and "Really fishy business", (Editorial, July 6). The BP editorial highlights the problem created by an invasive species of freshwater fish called blackchin tilapia. Tilapia are the third world's salmon, a valuable food fish rich in protein and easy to cultivate.

Missing the point
Oped, Postbag, Published on 09/07/2024
» Re: "No doubles for expats", (PostBag, July 8). Is it possible that Songdej Praditsmanont is completely missing the essential point that most recent contributions to PostBag have so far highlighted very loudly on this topic?
