Food supply is crucial
In the water there are fish and in the fields there is rice. And this ancient reminder applies to Thailand, not just to the Sukhothai of King Ramkhamhaeng, who is credited with the historical quote. Our country is one of the most abundant in the world. It is one of a handful which exports far more food than it buys, and thus contributes a huge amount to feeding the ever-growing population worldwide. It is vital to remember this, and to be responsible at a time when new food shortages look likely in some parts of the world.

We'd like to know, too
I find it deeply troubling that Deputy PM Suthep feels he only owes an explanation of currently indicted Pol Lt Gen Somkid's promotion to assistant national police chief, to the people of Saudi Arabia and apparently not to the citizens of Thailand, who deserve police leaders of the highest integrity.

Whatever he does, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra will be at the receiving end of criticism from his foes. When Thaksin stopped tweeting, his political opponents went berserk with allegations that certain pro-government figures were targeted by assassins, allegedly in the pay of anti-government elements. When Thaksin proposed a peaceful way out of the current political crisis, the ruling Democrat and Bhumjaithai parties responded by persuading some opposition Puea Thai Party members to defect to the government.

The troops convey almost every wrong image, while failing to address the problem of the continuing bomb and grenade attacks.
