Oped, Reinhold Elges, Published on 23/12/2023
» Rice is Thailand's most important food crop and an integral part of Thai culture and society. At the same time, rice farmers remain among the poorest occupational groups in Thailand and are extremely vulnerable to the impacts of a changing climate -- rice farming is a water-intensive and temperature-sensitive activity conducted in a climate that is becoming increasingly characterised by longer dry spells and higher temperatures.

The timing is inconvenient because research suggests there are increased rates of Covid-19 in areas with high levels of air pollution. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how vehicular emissions is one of the major sources of Bangkok's air pollution.
Immigration games
Oped, Postbag, Published on 19/12/2020
» I, like nearly 90% of all foreigners living here in Thailand, am getting tired of going to immigration for our yearly visa renewal, only to find out that we did not follow the "rules of the day". We want immigration to state a clear policy of what is, or is not, required to renew our visas. To that end, we ask:
