The world's largest rice exporter is facing a worse-than-expected harvest this year.

The demand for rice has grown considerably this year. But is Thailand, as the world's largest exporter, ready to reap the benefits of rising demand now?

Thailand produces more than 20 million tons of rice per year, about half of which is exported. This year's harvest was worse than expected, which could lead to higher prices on the world market.

    Don't worry about it, potatoes are good too. Moreover, the Japanese rice is still the best.

    We have discovered that it is sometimes easier to find drinks in smaller supermarkets than in large ones.
    Thursday evening at Makro no cola, fanta, soda water or beer to be found
    Friday afternoon at the villa market everything is still available. of course sparkling water from France. but German and Thai beer and coke in abundance.
    We are now a WE in Hua hin for business, but there I just see that there is a debit card and also refueling, despite other messages here on this forum. Actually little difference with Bangkok South
