How Eastern Thailand's Industrial Boom Isn't Good News For Everyone | CNA Correspondent

Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor looks to pull in investment to the country. It’s offering incentives to foreigners to work and live in the EEC’s three provinces of Rayong, Chonburi and Chachoengsao. Authorities believe the EEC will not just generate income for the government, but also bring about tangible benefits to the locals. However, not everyone is happy about the development. Some locals say it’s affected their livelihoods. CNA Correspondent investigates how the creation of the EEC has impacted the local community and whether or not it will bring economic success to the region.

I have a different take on this. I see thousands of smart Thai kids graduating from college with engineering degrees, then starting a small restaurant or selling meat on a stick. Every time a country starts it's industrial growth it's dirty and then gets cleaner. The local Thai fisherman, et cetera can't defend Thailand from modern enemies or help it compete in the modern world BUT always seem to adapt and do just fine. I've lived here 5-years and I enjoy the stone age living and the modern which are often right next to each other and that will not stop because Thailand is making progress. Before this they had rock quarrying, other types of mining and VERY destructive industries worse than this. The farmers and markets continued all around them.

Noticing all the CNA headlines are mostly NEGATIVE against China... please do NOT become a NED-CIA mouthpiece!! Have some pride Singapore...

We hire more then 1, 000, 000 Job in eec project, So sad for the fisher man. Hope gov can find another solution for this.

[huahintrainspotters]

My point of view is Thai government should care more locally people, especially in part of agricultural, not only fishery but agriculturist and people who live in Eastern part too.

When and where the greedy and the poor meet, there are always troubles.

[thaiblood]

Everything has 2 faces but what is the best thing to do for the most useful forThe best of Thai people.

[hub]

This is poorly done propaganda. Rayong is the richest province in Thailand by GDP per capita because most of our factories located there since 80s most of our manufactured goods exports produced in this province because it's nearby deep sea port.
You make video to make it looks like Rayong is backwater fisherman village is laughable because we all know what is singapore's hidden agenda.

[Nat_Ryder]

When advanced industrialised countries talk about environmental and pollution concerns in other countries, their ulterior intention is to obstruct these countries to develop rapidly and start completing with

[bicolorangel]

I always feel CNA cares more about fish and fisherman than any other industries and people. Throughout the reports in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, the concerns of building dam on Mekong river and industrialization in Thailand are always fish. Ironically, nobody in Singapore cares about the livelihood of local fishermen in the southern islands. Singapore never stops on its way to reclaimation.

[readwrite]

CNA, Chinese News Asia often reports negative issues about its neighbors.

[cameron-wdsd]

They say it's like Singapore doesn't have land reclamation.... reclamation or building artificial islands. It's a detriment to the environment that is bad for oceans.

[ozoneami]

Where is the fisherman village in Singapore?

[kimjongun]

Not good news for Singapore's industry

[kosakata]

Isn't Good News For Everyone? YES especially for Singaporean

[anubofficial]

The reason to why the number of fishes and squids are dwindling in the Thai Gulf is due to sea trolling and increase of fishermen. Nothing to do with pollution Etc. 15 years ago the amount of fish in the ocean was crazy. But at the time there weren't as many fishing boats and nets. Lack of fishing regulation and enforcement is to blame. Every private owned boat fishermen in Thailand will agree with me here. Every single time you go fishing you will lose your bait (whether it is jigging or just simple fresh lures) as it will get tangled up with fishing nets. And there are thousands of them. Most are left under lost and never retrieved. They catch everything. they don't care about size, . They take all their catch, then the small ones will be thrown away when back to shore but by the time they are all dead. Pretty sad tbh. Even 3-4 inch squids cant survive. they take everything.

[อากาศแจ่มใส-พฅ]

Why is Singapore so hurt? Don't worry about Thailand we'll be a high income country like you soon.

[williedigital]

71-year old forced to continue working full time doing hard fishing work for $200 USD a month--somehow reducing the number of people in this circumstance is a "downside" of economic development.
