Over B500m in deals at DMA 2010

Wednesday August 18, 2010


Thai animation and computer graphics has attracted overseas attention at the Digital Media Asia Festival 2010. Thailand Animation Computer Graphics Association president told Database that the event gain success in business industry. It has been greater than expected. The Tacga president said it is the good thing for Thais for the domestic market. TV stations have noticed the talent of Thai animators and they are beginning to take an interest, with possible business deals in the pipeline. There is also an initiative to have Thai animation characters made into toys as toy manufacturers from many companies. DMA 2010 aimed to exhibit the potential of Thailand's creative economy. He added that DMA 2010 aimed to placing the Thai creative media industry at the head of the global market.

I think this is a good news for Thai espicially Thai business because this is a one step that Thai animation and computer graphics is attracted to other country. The future, I positively think Thai media can lead to the top of five country about animation and computer graphics. Toy is popular in today so it is easy to develop and create a new one that can export toys to the global market. Besides that we have to give more detail about manufactures that they are good enough for global market.

Residents find little relief

Sunday 15 July, 2010





A lot of residents who moved to escape toxic emissions from the lignite-fired power plant in Mae Mo district live at Ban Huay Rak Mai. About 70 families who were affected by toxic emissions from the power plant. Many residents have suffered respiratory problems allegedly caused by exposure of sulphur dioxide emissions from the plant. Many people have died at least 20 local villagers by toxic emissions from the power plant. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand ( Egat ) tried to solve the problem as a result it led to better air quality. Money is involved in this case. Chiang Mai Administrative Court said many residents were eligible for about 246,000 baht each on the severity of their suffering. Residents have to live with environment at Ban Huay Rak Mai. Each family has been allocated one rai of land. One from residents spent a lot of money to pay his medical bills.

In my opinion, this news is the great example to show how effect of toxic emission from the power plant to people who live nearly there. Money cannot help anything good because money cannot buy everything like health. Poor health that you get from any toxic cannot cure distinctly by medicine because longer hoard makes more dangerouse than we think so make sure if something wrong with yourself you have to see the doctor and look at your area. Hand in hand is the good thing you should do, if something badly happen we may be cannot do anything. It is lately to do so. And industry has to care for the residents because of many factors of people cannot afford facilities. So you have to care each other, not just care only about benefit.

Drilling concessions strongly opposed



Sunday 15 August, 2010


Have you ever go to Koh Samui? I love Koh Samui very much because it is a beautiful place. Yesterday, I found an article about this one. Let’s see what happened with Koh Samui!




There is a problem about oil exploration with Koh Samui. It makes local people and tourists came out to show their stance against oil exploration project because they want to keep the beautiful place as original way. A former president of the Koh Samui Tourism said it was a warm – up. Anyway, they are granted with the approval of an independent organization and must screen the impacts of health and environment. The biggest problem is that people reject this project is the concession areas proposed develop vast areas in the Gulf of Thailand. They want us to consider if the oil drilling concessions are granted. What will happen with our local tourism and not to mention the local people.


In my opinion,agree is my answer. It is the same with the tourists and local people there because keeping the nature as original way is harder than destroy it. Despite it just was a warm - up and this project like to fail due to the refusal of tourists and local people, this result show something that people still have a conscious or the leader of project dose not care about the beautiful place anyway. Koh Samui is still be a popular place in Thailand that Thai and foreign give an interesting to its. Besides there are many place to travel in many provinces and I think it will has the same topic or kind of this one. If we do not want industry or anything to disturb or destroy the beautiful place, hand in hand will be the good thing to support the answer that we do not want to lose the important place.

Court refuses bail for 6 red shirt leaders

Sunday 8 August, 2010

The criminal court denied bail of five red shirt leaders who were in charge of terrorism after offering 2 million baht each to surety themselves. Five red shirt leaders, Natthawut Saikua, 35, Khwanchai Praipana,58, Yoswaris Chuklom, 52, Nisit Sinthuprai, 54, and Wiphuthalaeng Patanaphumthai, 57, after got deny from the criminal court, they appeal the bail to the appeal court. Anyway, the appeal court agrees with the criminal court and also point out the reasons why these five red shirt leaders can’t be bailed. The bottom line is these five leaders were charged of terrorism, so this could carry a death sentence to them. Furthermore, a fear of jumping bail pushed the police the secure the process of investigation.

Actually, I do not want to blame anyone but the action makes people and country scared. I agree with this news because till the court proceed this issue, it was essential thing to keep them to the safe place. I do not like them because of they made a peaceful country became to a dire situation and everything changed. I suppose that they deserve what they are getting and hope everything will be the same as soon as possible.

Emergency rule to be lifted last in Bangkok

Wednesday 18 August, 2010

The state of emergency has been used in Bangkok and other provinces which were observed for the violence of anti-government united. The National Security Council secretary-general, Thawil Pliensri said NSC will use the emergency decree to force those provinces until everything goes in its place. Anyway, this execution won’t last forever but NSC will observe and assess the situation thorough even the government just lifted up the decree to force big cities under control recently. In Chiang Mai, everything seems to get back to its place after the decree was force to protect those redshirts movement. Also, Chiang Mai provincial security is looking forward for restoration of the city to relief the tourism industry’s depressed. Unfortunately, Bangkok people might have to live under the emergency decree longer than other cities, but sooner, everybody will get their previous life back.

I think this is a good news for people because we are still in the emergency rule, there are nothing had happened though. Everything is quiet so this is the signal that shows everything is going be the same or in the better way.For the time when I heard there will use the emergency rule, I feel confuse. After that, I feel many thing start to be the same after something happened in Bangkok.That is a good change.

BOT : Strong baht not hurting economy

Wednesday 18 August, 2010

The strengthening of Thai’s baht is a problem that occurs in Thai’s economy now. But Bank of Thailand governor Tarisa Watanagase said there is nothing to worry about it. This situation doesn’t make any impact of Thai economy growth. Also she suggested that this is a good time for investors to invest in oversea business, because Thai economy is getting stronger now. Anyhow, there are a little of suggestions to importers and exporters to avoid exchange risk by using hedging.

In my opinion, a lot of people must concern about this news because I heard other news about the strengthening of Thai baht. It sometimes go down, and sometimes go up. We cannot find the stable currency. Many factors is involved in currency. So The economic has to try hard to get higher point to gain more investment.

Investment may not reach target

Wednesday 18 August, 2010

I found this article. It is about investment in Thailand. Let's see what happened!
Application for investment privileges might not reach 500 billion baht target set by the board of investment this year. It is because the Map Ta Phut impasse had made it hard for large investment project to emerge. More information is the most investment applications are for business expansion with a little investment cost. First seven months of the year altogether are around 200 billion baht, far from the target and they said they to work hard by plan to show a series of road – shows in the European Union, China and Japan.

I agree with this news that investment is quiet because frome Map Ta Phut impasse. They have to set promotion or manage their work to get to the target. I think showing a series of road - shows in European Union, China and Japan is a good plan. It can expand the investment to the top. I do not have much knowledge to describe about the business but I truely believe that investment will be grow up to their goal soon.
