Re: Thailand Air Quality and Pollution Alerts

I've read articles where the blame is pointed squarely at the big agro companies like CP, and not at the small farmers.

Re: Flights to/from Thailand status, news, and updates

That article alone says a lot. It used to cater for 105,000 passengers a day, but now caters for 20,000. Obviously a lot of brown envelopes involved spending that huge sum of cash expanding the airport to 40% of what it used to be :? Bonkers. Note: The above article is dated 2010 as the only one I ...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

The wife mentioned that they are not seeding clouds this year as they have done in the past every year, usually with an April start. It seems Thais contributing to discussions have no idea why not? The news is very active when clouds are seeded to create rain. Every year there have been articles and...

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Ipswich will definitely beat Huddersfield who will remain at 45. Plymouth squeezes through by the skin of it's teeth to remain in the Champ...
