The residents say the panel established by Governor Winai Buapradit two weeks ago was not acceptable. “That committee only focuses on impacts from shrimp farms,” Thavorn Phetkhunthod, leader of a network of affected farmers, said yesterday. According to him, salt in soil has ruined 10,006 rai of farmland in Nakhon Ratchasiman’s Non Thai, Sung Noen and Phra Thongkham districts over the past decade. His network is getting ready to file a Bt280-million compensation lawsuit if Winai fails to deliver a satisfactory solution.
