  • 14 JULY 2015 - THAILAND:  A Thai soldier pumps water from an army water truck to a private home in Pathum Thani province near Bangkok. The drought that has crippled agriculture in central Thailand is now impacting residential areas near Bangkok. The Thai government is reporting that more than 250,000 homes in the provinces surrounding Bangkok have had their domestic water cut because the canals that supply water to local treatment plants were too low to feed the plants. Local government agencies and the Thai army are trucking water to impacted communities and homes. Roads in the area have started collapsing because of subsidence caused by the retreating waters. Central Thailand is contending with drought. By one estimate, about 80 percent of Thailand's agricultural land is in drought like conditions and farmers have been told to stop planting new acreage of rice, the area's principal cash crop.

  • 14 JULY 2015 - THAILAND:  A provincial water department worker rolls up a hose after delivering water to a homeowner (left) in Nakhon Nayok province. The drought that has crippled agriculture in central Thailand is now impacting residential areas near Bangkok. The Thai government is reporting that more than 250,000 homes in the provinces surrounding Bangkok have had their domestic water cut because the canals that supply water to local treatment plants were too low to feed the plants. Local government agencies and the Thai army are trucking water to impacted communities and homes. Roads in the area have started collapsing because of subsidence caused by the retreating waters. Central Thailand is contending with drought. By one estimate, about 80 percent of Thailand's agricultural land is in drought like conditions and farmers have been told to stop planting new acreage of rice, the area's principal cash crop.

The bridge was severely damaged during heavy rainfall in July 2013 when its 230 foot middle section  (70 meters) collapsed during flooding. Officially known as Uttamanusorn Bridge, the bridge has been used by people in Sangkhla Buri (also known as Sangkhlaburi) for 20 years. The bridge was was conceived by Luang Pho Uttama, the late abbot of of Wat Wang Wiwekaram, and was built by hand by Mon refugees from Myanmar (then Burma). The wooden bridge is one of the leading tourist attractions in Kanchanaburi province. The loss of the bridge has hurt the economy of the Mon community opposite Sangkhla Buri. The repair has taken far longer than expected. Thai Prime Minister General Prayuth Chan-ocha ordered an engineer unit of the Royal Thai Army to help the local Mon population repair the bridge.

  • 25 OCTOBER 2012 - TAK BAI, NARATHIWAT, THAILAND: Thai soldiers talk to Muslim men in Tak Bai, Thailand. The "Tak Bai Incident" took place on Oct. 25 in Tak Bai, Narathiwat, Thailand during the Muslim insurgency in southern Thailand. On that day, a crowd gathered to protest the arrest of local residents. Police made hundreds of arrests during the protest and transported the arrested to Pattani, about two hours away, in another province. They were transported in locked trucks and more than 80 people suffocated en route. This enraged local Muslims and shocked people across Thailand. No one in the Thai army accepted responsibility for the deaths and no one was ever charged. In the past, the anniversary of the incident was marked by protests and bombings. This year it was quiet. More than 5,000 people have been killed and over 9,000 hurt in more than 11,000 incidents, or about 3.5 a day, in Thailand's three southernmost provinces and four districts of Songkhla since the insurgent violence erupted in January 2004, according to Deep South Watch, an independent research organization that monitors violence in Thailand's deep south region that borders Malaysia.

Sugar growers in the area are concerned that trade officials will eliminate sugar price supports during upcoming trade talks for the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). They say elimination of price supports will devastate sugar growers in the US and the local economies of sugar growing areas.
