» A government minister has floated the idea that rural folks who had left Bangkok following the Covid-19 outbreak should undertake New Theory farming in their hometowns and never return to work in the city. He proposed that the Ministry of Agriculture provide training and appropriate technology to boost productivity. It sounds like good news, but is nothing new. We have heard similar things many times in the past.

» Charming cities attract and induce visitors to visit again and again, which is a boon to the local economy. While many provinces have cemented their place as established tourist attractions, some lack distinctive tourism qualities as they do not offer much in terms of entertainment for typical tourists. Instead, they draw visitors due to their serenity where livelihoods and the social fabric of communities have remained unblemished. As such, Pak Tor district stands out as one of those most fascinating places to visit.

Post plastic? Let's get back to basics

» Excessive use of plastic bags has created serious environmental problems ever since the product was first introduced to Thailand. But plastic waste has never been tackled effectively. Tonnes of the stuff is dumped daily at rubbish sites around the country, with the waste piling up and becoming mountains of plastic. Authorities continue to secure more plots for dumping. Campaigns to address plastic pollution are sporadic and often poorly co-ordinated. They tend to begin with a great deal of fanfare, then quickly fade away having achieved little.
All's well that ends well
