Long couple of days. Have now done nine interviews here (plus sitting in on interminable CF Fund meeting) and am starting to understand how things work. Hooray! Some direction at last. Checked with Thoord's wife Bim, who acts as village archivist, who added some detail but broadly agreed. Was talking to people about additional income options (apart from agriculture) and it turns out that a few people earn a bit of extra dosh by acting as golf caddies! In the middle of this protected area of National Parks, conservation forest and narrow strips of agricultural land disgraced ex-Prime Minister Thaksin built a huge golf resort which sits like a spaceship a few miles out of town. His wife is currently standing trial for tax evasion - I hope they get them both.
