  • 12 JANUARY 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Freshly killed chickens ready to be processed in the live poultry section of Khlong Toey Market (also spelled Khlong Toei) in Bangkok. On Monday the Thai Ministry of Public Health instructed government agencies to watch for any signs of “bird flu” during the winter season, and warned the public to avoid contact with any birds that appear sickly. The latest data from the World Health Organization showed the continuous transmission of avian flu in various countries, both in people and birds. Bird Flu is endemic in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, all important Thai trading partners. There have been no recorded outbreaks of Bird Flu in humans in Thailand several years.

  • 19 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Chinese lion dancers walk down a lane between market stalls in Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok. Between July and September the economy expanded 0.6 percent compared to the previous year, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported. Thailand's economy achieved a weak 0.2 per cent growth across the first nine months of the year. The NESDB said the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1 percent in 2014. Authorities say the sluggish growth is because tourists have not returned to Thailand in the wake of the coup in May, 2014, and that reduced demand for computer components, specifically hard drives, was also hurting the economy. Thailand is the leading manufacturer of computer hard drives in the world. The Thai government has announced a stimulus package worth $11 billion (US) to provide cash handouts to farmers and promised to speed up budget spending to boost consumption.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence.
