The National Water Resources office attributes the looming water shortage in Thailand to rapidly growing population numbers, the expansive development of industry, a booming tourism industry, plus widespread agricultural use. Covering provinces like Rayong, Chonburi and Chachoengsao, EEC (Eastern Economic Corridor) is anticipated to be among the regions most affected.

From this, household use accounted for 216.83 million cubic meters, industrial processes consumed approximately 308.98 million, and agriculture took up about 131.92 million. From perspectives of the agency, by the time we reach the year 2027, the rate of water demand will witness a significant increase of 19.39% from 2017, accelerating to a hefty 2.89 billion cubic meters. Agriculture, followed by industry and household consumption, is projected to be the largest consumer of water. Further projections show a potential rise in…
In the present landscape of Thailand’s industrial growth, there are four standout industries: construction, automobile manufacturing, iron and steel production, and energy generation. Gernot Ringling, the managing director of Messe Dusseldorf Asia, a profound subsidiary based in Germany and renowned as a major trade fair organiser, highlighted these industries at a recent press conference. In Ringling’s view, the current upsurge within these sectors traces back to decisive initiatives undertaken by the government as well as significantly increased private-sector investments. The people of Thailand now have a heightened demand for raw materials, advanced production technologies, and innovative products, primarily due to the aforementioned factors. Recent data released by the Bank of Thailand reflects a promising prediction for the country’s economy, revealing a steady growth of 3.6% in the second quarter of the present year. The country is also witnessing a resurgence of broad-scale investment projects, predominantly sparked by the private sector.…

It was a landmark year for Thailand’s tourism in 2003, marked by an astonishing surge of Russian tourists that tipped the scale at a 1,000% increase compared to the preceding year. This newfound affinity for Thailand was not only limited to pleasure seekers but also extended to Russian investors who cast their financial nets in various sectors, particularly real estate, as detailed by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. A narrative unfolds that shows an impressive 338% growth in villa purchases throughout the year, with the substantial majority of these transactions initialised by Russian investors. This tsunami of Russian influence on Thailand’s real estate market led to a notable rise in establishments that cater specifically to Russian tastes. An excellent example is the advent of Russian-style bathhouses, fondly termed “banyas”, and eateries that dole out quintessential Russian fare, such as borscht soup, along with delectable Thai dishes, as highlighted by…
One wee hour in the morning saw deputy inspector Pol Captain Wuthikorn Plodprong leading his diligent police force into action after complaints came pouring in from beleaguered locals residing on Yen Sabai Road and weary commuters using the same route. Their peace and livelihood were intensely compromised by a gang that had transformed their quiet street into a hub of vexing and noisy activities. Commuters, who once freely used this thoroughfare, were suddenly finding themselves unable to navigate through because of the gang’s audacious conduct. The bikers parked their motorbikes, not just any ordinary machines but roaring beasts of machines, in such a strategic layout that it blocked off both the road entrance and access to people’s houses. This troupe of raucous miscreants didn’t stop at just blocking pathways; they reveled in parading around in large groups, their motorcycles’ engines revving loudly enough to shatter the serene silence of the…
