Jerry Lee has posted a doc:

Long-term irrigation project does not offer short-term political gain... because it requires years for the results of any irrigation project to be realised. Issan villages that face annual droughts and are dubbed "chronic drought-affected villages". Thus, the villagers are forced to wait desperately for money handouts (vote buyings) from politicians.

Many of the younger generation have decided to leave their farms to find jobs in the cities; they feel too insecure to continue on the land, because of the unpredictable nature of the weather year in year out.

... Is this year's weather condition any better? and what about next years?

• Price of rice have doubled recently and signals on future tradings are already indicating further increases, speculative money have moved from stock markets and into commodity futures ...
• Down-trend in production due to on-going adverse weather conditions, global grain stock is already scrapping bottom of the barrel ...
• Irrigation is key to expansion in farm land - however, Long-term irrigation project does not offer short-term political gain for any government, because it requires years for the results to be realized ...
• Food riots happening in 50+ "small" countries that never makes the headlines ... supermarket shelves are emptied out each day in Hong Kong, and in Singapore they talk about reducing the daily intake portions ..

... the story is about the survival of these small indigenous subsistence farmers, in times of changes and turmoils. www.ipernity.com/doc/jerry_lee/album/62426?from=1850711

Songkran - Water Festival of Thailand

nobody@ipernity.com (Jerry Lee) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:40:07 +0000

Jerry Lee has posted a doc:

Songkran is a Thai traditional New Year which starts on April 13 every year and lasts for 3 days. During this time, people from the rural areas who are working in the city usually return home to celebrate the festival. Thus, when the time come, Bangkok temporarily turns into a deserted city. Songkran is a Thai word which means "move" or "change place" as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac. It is also known as the "Water Festival" as people believe that water will wash away bad luck.

Songkran greetings includes a little sprinkling of water and a touch of talcum powder, in this case, the girls are using rice flour which is a lot cheaper and does stickier mess, playing with powder bombs as this is already forbidden in the big cities.

Photo captured at Nong Prajak, Udon Thanii, N.E. Thailand. ( One of my all-time favourite shot, and no, i did not get wet, as i shot these inside a car following the action, with the lectric window going up and down whenever possible. )
