The philosophy of Sufficiency Economy provides a guide to appropriate ways of living and behaving. It was developed from the traditional Thai lifestyle and can be applied to all situations. It derives from an understanding of the always-changing world and aims at protection from dangers and crises for the sake of stable and sustainable development.

His Majesty the King, who developed the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy, has recommended appropriate stages of development. It must begin with sufficiency for the greater population. When the sufficiency of most people is achieved, the nation can then progress to economic growth.

Sufficiency Economy is not the “economy of the poor,” as some have said. It does not call for extreme austerity or belt-tightening. The King has advised his subjects to get rich, but he also encourages them to share their wealth with others and wants them to be able to maintain their riches in bad times. He gives three principles and one foundation for national development. And they can be applied to benefit the management of any organization.

The first principle is that reasons, not desires, provide guidance. It is not wise to follow a tide unthinkingly. Thailand should have the courage to choose its own way of development instead of following a global tide.

The second principle is moderation. One must know one’s basis and potential. This knowledge will reveal what one is and how one should grow successfully.

The third principle is immunity, because one cannot know what will happen tomorrow. When situations change rapidly, it is difficult to work out a development plan because there are many risk factors. A planner needs to have vision and must try to foresee possibilities, good and bad. With a vision for the economy, for instance, planners can consider whether biodiesel should be introduced to cushion the impacts of fuel prices. Immunity is the result of risk management.
Decisions and actions that reflect sufficiency require knowledge and morality as their bases. Knowledge means adequate information and thoughtfulness to integrate fields of knowledge in order to make plans. Morality means honesty, patience, perseverance, and wisdom as the fundamentals of life.

The philosophy of Sufficiency Economy will lead to balanced and sustainable development, and those who apply it will be ready to cope with all kinds of changes concerning the economy, society, the environment, knowledge, and technology.

There are two levels in the implementation of Sufficiency Economy: basic and progressive implementation.

Sufficiency at the individual and family level. This is the basic implementation that will enable farmers to have enough rice and other crops for household consumption. Rice that they do not need for their own use can be sold to generate income to pay for what they cannot produce. This system creates immunity for families. However, farmers may still need appropriate assistance at times from communities, the government, foundations, and the private sector.

Sufficiency at the community level. This is the progressive implementation that covers the second stage in the application of the New Theory of agriculture. It encourages farmers to form their own organizations or cooperatives. When members of families or organizations enjoy individual sufficiency, they should group for mutual benefits and assistance.

Sufficiency at the national level. This is the second part of the progressive implementation, covering the third stage. It encourages communities to join forces with other organizations in the nation. The cooperation will increase the transfer and exchange of wisdom, knowledge, and technology and trigger collective development in line with the principle of Sufficiency Economy. Doing so will turn the nation’s communities, organizations, and enterprises into a network of sufficiency-based communities that refrain from offending one another but interact with, help, and coexist with one another happily and permanently.

Dopo la devastante influenza aviaria l'UE aveva bloccato tutte le esportazione dei prodotti aviari da numerosi paesi tra cui la Thailandia.

Durante questo periodo la Thailandia si e' organizzata da tutti i punti di vista,soprattutto quelli sanitari,per affrontare l'emergenza e debellarla.

L'europa si e' mostrata molto soddisfatta per l'importante e ottimo lavoro svolto dalla Thailandia.

Dopo tutto questo, La Commissione Europea si e' riunita ed a emesso commission complementing Decision 2012/248/EU;7maggio2012 che corregge e cancella la delibera precedente e di fatto liberalizza l'importazione dalla thailandia della carne e di tutti i prodotti aviari(tranne le uova che sono ancora in attesa di ulteriori controlli)officialmente a partire da luglio 2012

The explosion and fire, which occurred at Bangkok Synthetics Company (BST) in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate on 5 May 2012, killed 11 people and injured more than 140 others.

After the incident, the Director-General of Pollution Control Department, Wijarn Simachaya, told the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) to control the area where the fire was extinguished and the drainage system to prevent leakage. He said that while up to 200 ppm was allowed at workplaces, the last measurement of air-quality after the explosion indicated that the particle level of toluene gases ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 ppm which is not high enough to cause breathing problems or skin irritation, and the gas is non-carcinogenic.

The disaster caused concern among local residents about the quality of the emergency alarm and the chemicals they might still breath in. Therefore, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has set up a tripartite committee consisting of officials from IEAT, the Pollution Control Department under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and civil society organizations to monitor air quality around Map Ta Phut and renovate the safety system to prevent any future calamity.

Prime Minister Yingluck asked the committee to improve an early-warning system for chemical accidents at the industrial estate. The panel will report to the prime minister every three months on the situation.

She also told health officials to monitor the health of people living around the blast site and Map Ta Phut estate.

Meanwhile, Industry Minister Pongsvas Svasti said that he had ordered a thorough check of security systems at all facilities in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, as well as the air quality.

He noted that hydrocarbon in the air remained at normal levels, and no carcinogenic substances had been found, despite the leak of toluene, a feedstock for synthetic tyre production.

The Industry Ministry will tighten the regulations on hazardous plants, particularly those involved with chemicals, to be inspected every three months for risky operations. Of the roughly 140,000 plants nationwide, about 3,000 were categorized as major hazardous operations. These plants, particularly large-scale operations, are the major targets of the proposed regulation requiring three-monthly inspections.

ThaiFEX – Savor your success!

THAIFEX-World food of Asia!

Organic&Natural Asean Expo insieme con ThaiFEX Maggio 2012!

The proposal was made by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on 4 April 2012, the final day of the two-day 20th ASEAN Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Prime Minister stated that the success of ASEAN needed political support from all ASEAN leaders.

According to the proposal, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) should lead free trade agreements, which will facilitate direct investment within the bloc. Trade expansion needs to be based on a single standard in an attempt to attract more investments. Thailand will continue to give its full support in this area with the hope that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will conclude the launch of negotiations at 21st ASEAN Summit and the initiation of FTA dialogue in the final quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.

The ASEAN Security Community (ASC) should lead to the creation of a regional body to combat potential terrorist threats within the region, while promoting democracy, the rule of law, and good governance. In addition, ASEAN should draw its attention to the issue of human rights (ASEAN Declaration on Human Rights), and give its support to the Protocol to the Southeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty within 2012. Moreover, as raised during the 2012 Nuclear Summit, there should be a nuclear network development to strengthen regional cooperation. Thailand also raised an issue of the community without drugs as the country previously supported the statement adopted by ASEAN pertaining to the drug-free zone.

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) should lead to increased cooperation with the goal to reduce transboundary haze pollution to at least 50,000 areas in the Mekong River Basin by 2015. In keeping with the regional support, Thailand proposed to assist with necessary technology and training to ASEAN members by the end of 2012.

Prime Minister Yingluck also proposed the creation of a community network to facilitate disaster management in order to create more effectiveness within the region. Thailand will continue to be watchful of the drug issue and cross-border crime, which may effectively impede growth in ASEAN.

Delegates attending the conference will also get their first opportunity to visit one of His Majesty the King’s Royal Projects, Huai Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Center, in Chiang Mai and Thai Elephants Conservation Center in Lampang.

The seniority of participation will be further strengthened by two meetings that will be held immediately after the conference on May 4-5: the 24th Joint Meeting of the UNWTO Commission for East Asia and the Pacific and the UNWTO Commission for South Asia.

At this joint commission meeting, one of the most important events in the UNWTO Asia Pacific calendar for 2012, the UNWTO will present the analysis of its long-term forecast for international tourism, i.e. Tourism Towards 2030. Special emphasis will be placed on the latest findings in the Asia-Pacific region.

In his letter of invitation to UNWTO members in the Asia-Pacific, UNWTO Secretary-General Dr Taleb Rifai said, “The theme of our conference for this year has been selected to reflect contemporary issues of global as well as regional interests.

“The steady growth of travel and tourism is set to continue as our 2020 forecast has proved year after year. With the 980 million record of 2011, international tourist arrivals are sure to cross the 1 billion threshold by the end of this year.”

Dr Rifai said that the development and rapid growth of both international and domestic travel and tourism come with some significant challenges. Energy-intensive transportation is increasing the non-renewable energy dependence of tourism and is contributing 5% of global greenhouse emissions. Nevertheless, he added, “It is noteworthy that if tourism adds to environmentally-related problems, it can, fortunately, also make a significant contribution to the solution.

“This can be achieved through the greening of tourism as it involves efficiency improvements in energy, water and waste. But there is more to green tourism than just the reduction of the cost of energy and waste management, and this is the bedrock on which the theme of our conference rests.”

Dr Rifai said the conference has been structured to provide ample opportunity for discussions designed “to provide insights into why we see green tourism as the way to go if we are to contain the climate change threat and protect our environment from unsustainable practices.”

He added, “The conference on green tourism will be akin to a warming-up exercise and an opportunity for us to advance the green economy agenda as the world prepares for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro next June.”

TAT Governor Suraphon Svetasreni said he was very encouraged by the choice of Chiang Mai as the meeting venue. “One of the most important aspects of this meeting will be the opportunity for the delegates to visit the Huai Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Center so that they can better understand the extensive contribution of His Majesty the King to the cause of sustainability.”

He said it also fits in perfectly with the national tourism strategy to promote provincial destinations and create more jobs and income in the provinces.

Chiang Mai is the economic, communications, cultural and tourism centre of Northern Thailand. In recent years, it has undergone considerable economic development but still retains its historic heritage.

It is also becoming increasingly well-known as a centre of traditional Thai massage, meditation, spas, health and wellness. The accommodation sector is vastly improved, with new properties ranging from specialist boutique hotels to health and wellness retreats to deluxe resorts.

As of the March – October 2012 winter season aviation timetable, Chiang Mai is served by twelve airlines, including Thai Airways International, Silk Air, Orient Thai Airlines, Korean Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Nok Air, Thai Air Asia, Lao Airlines, Business Air, Kan Air, China Eastern Airlines, and Air Bagan.

According to the Airports of Thailand, during January – February 2012, international passengers disembarking at Chiang Mai International Airport totalled 50,494, up 47.65% over the same period of 2011.

The first king of the Royal House of Chakri, King Rama I built the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha complex, which is now a major landmark of Bangkok and one of the country’s important tourist attractions.

He was born in 1736 during the Ayutthaya period and became the ruler of Ratchaburi when he was 25 years old. Following the destruction of Ayutthaya in 1767, Thai people moved south to Thon Buri to regroup and restore their kingdom. King Rama I at that time was appointed a field commander of King Taksin the Great of the Thon Buri Kingdom. He is recorded to have fought many military campaigns before being given the title of Chao Phraya Chakri, the equivalent of a modern Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. When he accepted the throne, the title Chakri was applied to the family line and remains the name of the Royal House.

After the death of King Taksin, Chao Phraya Chakri ascended the throne on 6 April 1782, when he was 46 years old. He started to establish Rattanakosin, or Bangkok, as the royal capital. Realizing that Thon Buri, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, would always be threatened by enemy attacks, he moved the capital from Thon Buri to Bangkok on the east side. The architecture of the new capital was modeled after that of Ayutthaya, the former capital.

The establishment of the new capital was the starting point of the history of Bangkok. So the history of the Royal House of Chakri is, in fact, the history of the Bangkok period. Amid political changes in each period, the Royal House of Chakri has reigned over the kingdom for 230 years now.

The shortened official name of Bangkok is Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, meaning the Great City of Angels. The name “Bangkok,” as it is commonly known, is the original name, which comes from “Bang Makok,” or the riverside town of makok, the wild plum trees.

In the early days of its establishment, the Chao Phraya River and canals served as the main communication routes, resembling the former capital of Ayutthaya, and hence the appellation “Venice of the East” was inherited.

The city was first concentrated along the east side of the Chao Phraya River. In the fifth Reign, King Chulalongkorn opened the vista of the city beyond the original walls, when he had Dusit Palace built, linked to the Grand Palace by Ratchadamnoen Road.

Besides serving as Thailand’s capital city, the present-day Bangkok is also the center in every respect for the country, geographically and economically. It was named the world’s best city by the US-based Travel and Leisure magazine in 2008, 2010, and 2011.

1. Barracuda Point, Sipadan Island, Malaysia

Barracuda Point can be an intimidating experience. Fish stream along like traffic here, as if the streets of New Delhi have descended underwater. During these chaotic scenes, you may find yourself in the center of a giant barracuda tornado, while hammerhead sharks and flapping rays nonchalantly cruise past.

The sea turtles here are three-meter beasts, and jackfish swim in swirling balls in their hundreds. It’s home to the weird and wonderful too; look out for the strange-looking bum head parrot fish and eerie batfish.

Depth: 5-40 meters.
Visibility: 30 meters.
Location: North East of Sipadan Island only five minutes by boat from the beach.

2. Yongala, Queensland, Australia

Considered the best wreck dive on the planet, the century-old SS Yongala shipwreck is an impressive 110 meters in size and sank after a tropical cyclone in 1911 with 124 passengers onboard.

The eerie wreck was found in the 1950s and is not only surrounded by history, but also two-meter giant groupers, trevallies, manta and eagle ray -- plus rare bull, tiger and leopard sharks.

However, the main attraction has to be the winter sightings of graceful minke whales and up to 16-meter-long (and 30-50 ton) singing humpback whales.

Depth: 25-30 meters.
Visibility: 10-15 meters.
Location: Three hours by boat from Townsville or 30 minutes from Ayr, Queensland.

3. SS Thistlegorm, Red Sea, Egypt

This is the most popular wreck dive in the world, and for good reason. The SS Thistlegorm was a 128-meter-long British transport ship, which was attacked and sunk in 1941 on its way from Glasgow to Alexandria.

The ship was carrying a variety of rifles, motorbikes and trucks, plus armored cars, trailers, vehicle parts, radios and rubber boots. All of this sits at the bottom of the ocean, including the ship itself complete with the large hole where the German bomb hit.

Dive groups now swim around and inside the silty wreck with flashlights to peer at its rusted machine guns, a railway freight car, torpedoes and more. You may even spot a few crocodile fish hiding in the sand by the wreck.

Depth: Up to 30 meters.
Visibility: Up to 30 meters.
Location: Around three hours from Sharm el Sheikh, on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

4. Blue Corner Wall, Palau, Micronesia

This spot is what screensavers are made of; and in reality a swim here does actually feel like you’re in a computer game. Reef sharks will hover above you as schools of bigeye jacks work their way through the strong current.

Below you’ll find a sizable colony of soft coral and gorgonian sea whips growing in a canyon -- there’s a good chance you’ll see spotted eagle rays, huge tuna, snapper, wrasse and bass and even hawks bill and green turtles too.

The electric blue red-toothed triggerfish can reach up to half a meter in size in this spot, while the pyramid butterfly fish, with their yellow outer bodies and white bellies, gather in their hundreds.

Depth: 8-30 meters.
Visibility: Up to 40 meters.
Location: One hour from Koror by boat.

5. Richelieu Rock, near the Surin Islands, Thailand

Not every big mouth is something to avoid.

There is nothing quite as exhilarating as swimming next to a whale shark. Divers spend their lives looking for these huge yet gentle beasts that can reach the length of an articulated lorry.

Sightings in this spot are so regular the locals have called it a "whale magnet." Even if you don’t see a whale shark you’ll still spot myriad pelagic schools of giant trevallies and dogtooth tuna.

Depth: 10-25 meters.
Visibility: Up to 30 meters.
Location: Off Khuraburi Island, 14 kilometers east of the Mu Koh Surin marine park.

6. Gordon Rocks, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

The surge and current can be strong here, so come prepared, but this means the marine life is directed straight into your path.

Here you’ll find so many sea lions, fur seals and clusters of hammerhead sharks you’ll probably forget about the tropical fish, manta rays, octopi marine tortoises and moray eels all around you.

Depth: 6-40 meters.
Visibility: 5-18 meters.
Location: A one-hour boat ride from Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island.

7. Great Blue Hole, Belize

Formed during the last ice age, this submarine sinkhole is 300 meters wide, and a scary 124 meters deep. It’s made up of karst limestone formations, which, over the years, have evolved into ledges that fall away into the chasm of darkness beneath.

In the clear water -- best for advanced divers only -- you'll find multi-colored stalactites and stalagmites, submerged caves and fish sheltering between the steep-walled depressions and dark blue shadows.

Expect to see schools of giant groupers, nurse sharks and Caribbean reef sharks swimming in this natural wonder.

Depth: 124 meters.
Visibility: 15-30 meters.
Location: Two hours away from Caye Caulker Island or San Pedro by boat.

8. Tubbataha, Palawan, Philippines

Super-size your dive experience at Tubbataha where everything comes in giant form. The main advantage to diving at Tubbataha is that the water is exceptionally clean, so the marine life lives much longer, making it grow to silly proportions.

These two small atoll like reefs in the middle of the ocean offer an inner lagoon with overhangs, slopes, crevices and caves with mor than 300 different types of coral and 379 species of fish.

Expect kaleidoscopic colors combined with guitar sharks, black tip reef sharks, nurse sharks, gliding blue-spotted lagoon rays, unicorns, boxfish, scorpion fish and more.

Depth: 5-60 meters.
Visibility: 5-45 meters.
Location: 182 kilometers south of the capital of Palawan, liveaboard trips leave from Puerto Princessa.

9. Big Brother, Red Sea, Egypt

Beneath the waters surrounding the small island of Big Brother you’ll be greeted by Aida II, a 75-meter ship that crashed into the land in 1957, en route to deliver lighthouse staff to the island.

Surrounded by huge shoals of fish and covered in an explosion of colored coral, it sits at an angle between 25-65 meters in the ocean. Divers can play captain by swimming inside the engine room at around 35 meters or snap incredible shots of the large-lipped Napoleon wrasse fish in the area (the species can reach a staggering two meters in size).

This is a double-whammy dive; you’ll find white tip and hammerhead sharks congregating at the century-old Numidia wreck nearby, around a junkyard of sunken train carriages and large wheels a mere 12 meters down.

Deep divers looking for a challenge can also go in search of the boat’s rounded stern, complete with rudder and propeller at 75-80 meters into the abyss.

Depth: 15-80 meters.
Visibility: Up to 35 meters.
Location: 60 kilometers from land in the Egyptian Red Sea. It takes eight hours from Hurghada, meaning a liveaboard is the best option.

10. Maaya Thila, Maldives

The Maldives’ incredible cluster of 1,192 paradise islands offers some serious diving opportunities. A good place to start is our favorite -- Maaya Thila -- dubbed the "White Tip Reef Shark Capital of the Maldives."

Its diverse range of tropical fish include angel, butterfly, clown, parrot and trigger fish, plus captivating schools of the perfectly formed moorish idol. You’ll need multiple dives to take it all in.

Depth: 15-30 meters.
Visibility: 6-40 meters.
Location: 20 minutes by boat from Maayafushi Resort Island or Banyan Tree Madivaru.

Mrs. Nuntawan Sakuntanak, Director-General of the Department of international Trade Promotion (DITP), said that Thailand’s automotive vehicles and parts industries are key factors in the Thai economy. Last year, the total value of exports in this sector was 22 billion USD, with vehicle exports valued at 12.34 billion USD and automotive accessory exports of 9.721 billion USD. The current trend in Thailand’s automotive parts, accessories and vehicle production levels shows strong recovery and is now growing after the flooding last year.

Total export values for automobiles in 2012 are projected to be more than 13 billion USD, an increase of more than 8.9 percent compared to the previous year, while the value of automotive parts and accessories exports will be more than 10 billion USD, an increase of more than 10 percent. These figures clearly illustrate how important the automotive sector is to the Thai economy, and is why the government has emphasized and encouraged Thailand’s private sector to become the leader and hub of automotive manufacturing in ASEAN, with the ultimate goal of becoming one of the top 10 automotive manufacturing countries of the world. In addition, the Department of International Trade Promotion has prioritized and is actively supporting research and development of auto parts & components (OEM) in order to strengthen automobile manufacturing in the future. The DITP has also developed human resources in the Automotive Engineering field toward acquiring the latest in technological principles of advanced production and designing skills, and to carry out research and development of related technologies in the production of eco-cars.

The DITP, Ministry of Commerce, along with the Thai Auto-Parts Manufacturers Association organizesThailand Auto Parts & Accessories, or TAPA. This event is held once every 2 years to showcase Thailand’s potential as the automotive parts industry leader and hub in the ASEAN region. The event provides a venue for expanding trade and the launching of new products, technologies and innovations in automotive accessories, parts, and vehicles. This year’s TAPA is focused on encouraging production development and efficiency, and enhancing competitiveness within the ASEAN Economic Community, or AEC, set to be launched in 2015, and also in gaining greater benefits in the commercial and investment markets, which will help Thai entrepreneurs in expanding their markets to ASEAN member countries.

“At this event, visitors will find new and eco-friendly products and innovations for keeping the world green, helping to reduce pollution and global warming as well as saving energy. In addition, Thailand and 400 foreign companies will be displaying vehicles, auto parts, spare parts, and accessories, including Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, USA, Germany, UAE, Australia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and China, providing a great opportunity for Thai entrepreneurs to show off their strengths as industry leaders and the center of automotive manufacturing in the region. The event is organized primarily for the launching of new products, services, technologies and innovations to new buyers from ASEAN member countries, South Asia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Africa and the EU,” said Mrs. Nuntawan.

Mrs. Achana Limpaitoon, President of the Thai Auto Parts Manufacturer Association, or TAPMA, said that not only will eco-friendly products and innovations for keeping the world green be introduced in TAPA 2012, but there will also be exhibitions and seminars related to automobiles and the environment under the concept of this event, such as eco-car exhibitions, which will showcase a range of eco-cars focusing on energy saving innovations from the top 3 automobile companies: namely, Toyota, Nissan, and Isuzu. There will be a seminar about Green Technology where representatives of the Thailand Society of Automotive Engineering will be key speakers, sharing their ideas on how to live with eco-friendly technologies. Representatives from Toyota will share their success stories on how they manage the Toyota Center in Ban Po district, featuring advanced, eco-friendly technologies on their energy-saving production processes.
Visitors interested in exhibitions and seminars in TAPA 2012 are welcome free of charge. April 26-28, 2012, is open to the trade, while April 29 is open to the general public. The event is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Further details and information about TAPA 2012 are available.
