Red shirts plan to rally in North this weekend

click to original article ( I have to put link in here because original link is very long)

This article is about red-shirts. After the collapse of red shirts, the prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was announced the state of emergency in seven provinces. Seven provinces will remain under a state of emergency - Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan in the Central region and Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Nakhon Ratchasima in the Northeast. After that, the prime minister abolishes the state of emergency in three Northern provinces, as well as in Chiang Rai and Ubon Ratchathani. He has to abolish because his goal is to return to normality and rely on regular mechanisms Then the red shirts plan to gather in Chiang Mai this Sunday. They said this plan is just an activity on the road. This campaign is for supporters from all over the country to wear red shirt and join together in Chiang Mai.


I think it is a good way for red shirt people. They can expose their thinking by gathering. It is hard to force their heart. I think it is just an opinion of each people. They have their freedom in the way of thinking. You cannot force them to be a person that you want them to be. But their freedom was limited by the law. Everybody in Thailand have to follow the law which the government makes it, otherwise the law will not have a meaning. They have to limit about blaming to the third person and have to be politely in human rights. They have to limit their thinking and it will not a misunderstanding between red shirt and government.



Autopsies of red shirts to be released

This article makes me feel downhearted. After the gathering of red shirt was collapsed, there are many red shirts and many soldiers were killed. The killing happens during clashes between the military and the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship in April and May. The Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation asks the ministry to clarify the two matters in a bid to counter allegations by the red shirts that the army uses excessive force, mistreats prisoners and the bodies of the dead. Head of the Department of Special Investigation said he hoped the autopsy results would help to clear the names of officials involved in the clashes. However the autopsy results of red shirt protesters killed during the recent Bangkok unrest will be reveal by the Justice Ministry tomorrow.


I think it is a very bad situation but if they can autopsies, it will be easy more than normal situation. Many people died from clashing in collapsing of red shirt but there is a problem. Each of side does not accept about what happen to corpses so it makes misunderstanding to normal residents between what government said and what red shirt said. They do not know the truth so it makes they misunderstand. After that, it will make quarrel and fight between people who don't know anything. If they have evidence, they can reveal that who involve in this situation. Everything will be clearly more than now. Actually, they have to accept about thing that they did it wrong, they have to admit about what that they do. If they respect in their country and people, they have to make people believe. Why people have to argue? Because they don’t know the truth. Therefore if the fact was revealed, people in Thailand will harmonize more than now.

click to original article ( I have to put link in here because original link is very long)


This article is about foreign investment in Thailand. It happens after red-shirt rally. Combined investment between foreign investors and Thai companies are decrease more than the others year. Foreign investors' confidence had been shaken by the political chaos and violence. It makes foreign investors divest their fund out from Thailand companies. However, Thai companies confident that it would recover soon when the chaos is over. After the political chaos was over, many foreign investors come to invest again. The increase in foreign limit will encourage Thai banks to seek foreign strategic partners to harden the fund base, improve essential banking business, IT platform, know-how and add inorganic growth to Thai banks.

I think it is hard to become a believable country again after we lose our believer from red-shirt gathering. However, we can do it and we can improve it better. We can push our country to become believable country again. We have to expose our believable status because it will show that we have an efficiency to protect foreigners' fund in the best way. When foreigners believe in our country, they will invest in Thailand companies. I think people in Thailand have an efficiency to do everything. But they work alone better than in group. That is a point which makes Thai people doesn’t go forward. Thai people have to harmonize in the group. If they have a harmony, they will be a perfect group of people who have a talent to develop our country.

This article is interesting. It is about management of department store names Big C. Big C is a small department store when you compare with other department stores. But I think they have efficiency to manage their department store. Big C wants to improve their inventory management and many stock items which were delivered to stores on a daily basis, so many branches required less space to store products. The manageress of Big C supercenter wants to change surplus areas into leasing space or attract new retail into the stores. Big C's strategy is to improve the value of existing assets by expanding shopping centers and encouraging rental income.


In my opinion, I think the manageress of Big C supercenter is a best manageress. She is a good designer. I think it is good to bring a thing that you didn't use comes back to use again and makes it to be your advantage. If you do that, it will be easy to make a source of your income. If it is not a bad thing or a second hand thing, you could sell it again but make it in a cheap price. Only this, you can get two advantages. First, you can sell your inventory and you can increase your income. Second, you can gain you income by makes your surplus area to become your benefit. It is a leasing space. It is easy to be a good thinker. You just have to look back at a little thing that you oversight and it will make you happy.

Regenerating coral reefs in Thailand

This article is amazing. This article is about regenerating coral reefs in Thailand. This project is the wide cooperation between the WWF Thailand Country Programme’s Marine and Coastal Unit, together with Phuket Rajabhat University and volunteer divers. The recovery happens at the Had Tai(Thai) Muang National Park coral reef along the Andaman Coast of southern Thailand.


There are many problems that make corals deteriorated. One is corals from healthy reefs have been collected. Second is anchored to concrete. Third is submerged in areas where corals have been weakened by both tsunami damage. Fourth is a bad fishing practices. However, a developer will re-establishing a diverse coral reef community. They will select a specie of each coral and transplant it. The goal of the project is to encourage the coral population to restore itself. About phenomenon of tsunami, this project aims to develop a model of enhanced coastal community elasticity with communities living in immediate closeness to the marine protected area.




In my opinion, I think tsunami is a big part that destroy coral reefs. But I think the most important problem that destroyed environment of corals is tourists. When tourists go to the beach or dive in to the sea, they always keep a beautiful coral. Sometimes they break it. That is a way to destroy coral reefs. It is a little thing for tourists but it is the first way to destroy the balance of marine ecosystem. The problem that comes after destroyed corals is destroyed aquatic animals. There fore, it has a disadvantage follow next to each problem.

How to solve this problem? The organization in each area have to attend to environment under the sea. They have to remind people that people have to obey the law; they cannot break a coral. Observers have to worry about how to tell tourists that is a bad thing when they keep a coral back to their home. It is not only depend on observer but also depend on tourists. They have to attend to marine ecosystem. They cannot do the thing that they want to do. If you still breaks a coral from today, maybe in the future your children will not see a beautiful coral reef like in the past !


Beam-Kawee Tanjararak, WWF Thailand Ambassador, Takes Young Nature Lovers on a Study Tour at Kang Krachan National Park

click to original article ( I have to put link in here because original link is very long)

This article is very nice. This is a good example from Beam-Kawee Tanjararak, who is an ambassador of WWF Thailand's team, leads thirty young nature lovers on a forestry management to study and help saving nature at Kang Krachan National Park. WWF Thailand’s Ambassador and WWF’s Panda Club members are learning about forest conservation. They also go out for bird watching, river surveying, butterfly observation, inside the virgin forest of the park, under the close supervision from the park’s officers. Beam and his famous friends encourage the young study tour members to help saving nature.
One of the best parks that still has a high level of biodiversity is Kang Krachan. It is the suitable place to study nature. The branch of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation prepares to promote the park as a Unesco’s world inheritance site. There are some problems that WWF have to resolve it. The problems are many villages located inside the park and many roads blocking the migration of wildlife from the south to the northern part of the park.

In my opinion, I think it is a good idea to help to develop nature parks in Thailand. Most of teenagers do not like to save nature. They are only think about themselves. But, there is a way to encourage them. One of the good ways to lead teenagers to help the nature is a famous person. WWF Thailand's team have to find a famous person to be an example for teenagers and invite them to do activities together. This way can convince people to help environment around a lot. I think it is not too hard to save environment in Thailand and in each national park. It depands on each human. If you try to save nature, you could do it well. It is easy to save nature and environment around youself by growing young plants, reducing cutting trees, separating garbage, not casting away a garbage on the floor or in the river and recycling garbage. If you really wants to begin to save environment, the first thing is you must not destroy it !

Microsoft taps into upcountry market

This article is very interesting. I am the one who use Window 7 and I think it is a good software. Have you ever seen boost of Microsoft company? I have never seen it before and I think it is a good idea. The first upcountry Microsoft Experience Centre is in Chiang Mai. Microsoft company wants to tap into the growing upcountry market with a 40 million baht to build a branches of Microsoft Experince Center(boost). They will open 10 retail shops, including Microsoft Experience Centres in business partners' spaces, the Microsoft Experience Gallery in the liberty area to promote consumers to buy genuine software rather than pirated copies.

The purpose of Microsoft boost is expanding revenue of selling IT products . Microsoft Thailand will fly in a Thai-font design expert to explain and share how to design more Thai scripts and to show the Thai alphabet in 64 bit operating systems.












In my opinion, I think it is good idea because if you want to sell something ,you have to show the efficiency of your product to customer to make them satisfy in a product. Technology Microsoft is popular in the world but they have to change it more efficiency. There fore, it is hard to learn a new product by youself.Microsoft boost is a good ways to present their products. Customers can try their products and can know how to use it.

If they like it, they will buy it. It is the best way to help they increase Microsoft's revenue. I have ever been to Apple's boost before ,and I think it is a good idea to open it. In the Apple's boost area, there are many product such as computers, mobile phones and other things. I know how to use apple's computer because they have a salesclerk. Salesclerk will help you to understand how to use their products and will help you about how to choose the best product.

Ihub Media taps into Facebook's growth

This article is very interesting. It is about facebook ,the fastest growing social network site. This article talks about Ihub Media, the special sales partner of Facebook in Asia, officially set up its presence in Thailand tap into the rapid growth of the social network site. Bangkok has become the seventh branch office of ihub Media in the area ,following Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Singapore. Now facebook has some 4.5 million facebook users. Facebook has become the number one social network website with more than 500 million users aroud the world. There are 72 percent of Thai users are from the 18-34 age group sign in on facebook .There are two structures of branded communication on facebook. One is owned media, which starts with the brand itself. It is the physical and mental property that the brand owns or has long-term rights to use. Another is earned media, which is word of mouth spread by fans of the brand. However the company only expects to have many customers, but they do not set a point.



In my opinion, I think it is hard to become the fastest growing website in the world. But facebook can do it ! Many people love Facebook and they use it to communicate with other people. You can upload picture and status on facebook. You can chat with friends around the world. Most of teenager in Thailand use Facebook because they want to expose themselves. They can show their thinking, and their personal life. They want people know them. But facebook does not clearly specific at the point.

In the same way, hi5 is a good example because it's specific for user. People who like to decorate their website like to play hi5. They can put their creation from photoshop into hi5 and show it to other people. That is a good point for hi5. Many people who start playing facebook begin with playing games on facebook. Then they change to comment and communicate with their friends. I guess the point of facebook is a game that you can play with other people around the world. The disadvantage of hi5 is problem when you add friends. It always takes long time to show who add you to be their friend. But on facebook it easy to add new friends because facebook will remind you very quickly on your msn or hotmail.

I think facebook is easy to communicate with people more than hi5. You just put your friends' name into the box and you can find them very quickly. There fore many people around the world use it because they do not want to take long time to find their friends. Some people think facebook is for collecting friends. But I don't think so. It usually uses to communicate with people around the world but not all of people who play facebook have to collect a number of friend. I often use to talk with my friend in U.S.A and in Korea ,and I think it easy and comfortable ways. I never collect friends, I just adds someone who know me. All in all , I prefer to play facebook more than hi5, And you? Are you prefer to play hi5 or facebook?

*An opinion from the man who plays facebook.


It is dangerous to show a lot of your private information so you have to think by yourself. Do you have to put all of information? I don't think so. Are you know that? Not only just facebook but every website have dangerous. There fore, you have to be careful when you use it ! ...
