Turns for the better
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 11/12/2016
» Unlike the Philippines, which is battered by no less than 24 typhoons a year, Thailand is hardly hit by typhoons. Thais, therefore, did not know what to expect when Typhoon Gay hit the Gulf of Thailand on Nov 3, 1989. With gale-force winds of 120kph, it killed 529 people, including fishermen and offshore oil rig workers, and rendered 160,000 homeless in the southern provinces of Chumphon, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat.

» After reading about mulberry and its many health benefits in Green Fingers recently, Kanneegar Pindavanija came upon the idea of promoting it as a supplementary cash crop for rubber plantation or orchard growers. “While waiting for their rubber or fruit trees to grow, agriculturists can plant mulberry between the trees and earn money from either harvesting their fruit or leaves,” she wrote.

It's not too late for sanam luang fair
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 09/12/2012
» Plant lovers still have today and tomorrow to check out the annual plant fair being held at Suan Luang Rama IX Park. The much awaited event draws not just Thais but also plant enthusiasts from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Last year, a friend who lives in Cagayan de Oro, in the southern Philippines, bought a plane ticket three months in advance in anticipation of the event, which is held every year from Dec 1 to 10. Imagine his disappointment when the fair was cancelled due to the floods that put much of Bangkok under one metre of water for several weeks.

Oh sod it: The way to ensure the grass is always greener
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 23/09/2012
» Vikrom Suebsaeng's one-storey house in Muang Ake was submerged in 2.30m of stagnant water for more than six weeks. The flood took almost everything away and repairs have been estimated at about one million baht. About 70% of the trees and plants on his 325 wah (1,300 square metres) of land have died, the soil has hardened and the grass is gone. ''My worry is not with the trees or plants which can be bought and grown again,'' he wrote. ''I want to have my grass back and would like to have your advice on the most economical way of reviving the soil so that I can have beautiful green grass again.''
