Animal rights front PETA and British retailers and media have teamed up to deliver a collective and politically-motivated blow to Thailand’s agricultural exports and in particular its large coconut industry (second largest coconut exporter in the world).
PETA makes the absurd claim that Thailand’s immense coconut industry depends on “monkey labour” to collect coconuts from trees and that these alleged monkeys are regularly abused.
Thailand's "student protests" are transparent proxies for opposition led by corrupt, foreign-backed billionaires.

The Kingdom of Thailand plays a central role in the Southeast Asian ASEAN economic bloc. It has a population of nearly 70 million, the second largest economy in the region and hosts a key leg of China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative including high speed rail that will connect China (via Laos) to Malaysia and beyond.

As we frequently do, we spent Christmas and New Years in southeast Asia. Deciding between Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, we picked Thailand. We didn't know about it at the time, but coronavirus was just kicking in. within a couple weeks of our departure in mid-January, the country started failing apart. We got the idea that coronavirus was rampant. By March they were closing down their entire tourist industry, a mainstay of the economy.
A couple of weeks ago I visited my doctor at the cancer hospital she works in. The policy there has always been to not admit anyone with infectious diseases. The hospital just cares for cancer patients and is also a major research center for cancer cures. A huge number of patients are immune-compromised and any kind of infection could be a death sentence. During our chat, she told me that doctors there had been asked-- I didn't ask by who but I assumed it was a government entity-- to start wrapping their heads around ceasing to treat elderly cancer patients. I think she said 60 or 65.
