Krabi landslides: conflicting reports
Krabi landslides: conflicting reports
Thursday 31 March 2011, 02:42AM
  Conflicting reports are coming in from Krabi Province of massive landslides following the downpours of the past few days. Initial reports said that landslides had buried eight villages in two sub-districts with about 1,000 villagers missing. Rescue teams from Phuket, including seven truckloads of volunteers from the Kusoldham Foundation, have rushed to help. A Kusondharm spokesman in Phuket told The Phuket News, “So far about 200 people have been rescued from eight villages in two tambon, but many remain buried under the mud.” However, an official at the Krabi Office of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (ODPM), who gave her name only as Tanayawan, denied that the disasters were as bad as was being depicted. She told The Phuket News landslides have affected three villages: Village 6 in Tambon Khok Han, Village 7 in Tambon Baan Na Khao, and Village 1 in Tambon Khao Din. “Most of the damage is to farmland, not to people’s homes,” she said. “So far we know of only one death – a woman in Tambon Khok Han. She added, “I have received a lot of phone calls about this, because of the stories of 1,000 people being buried. But it’s not as bad as this.” Nantawan, a volunteer working for the ODPM agreed. “As far as we know, only 20 homes in Tambon Khok Han have been affected,” she said. Another landslide on Tuesday night in Moobaan Islam, also in Khao Phanom, reportedly killed three people and left 300 villagers cut off from the outside world.

Radical cuts in ATM fees this month
Friday 25 March 2011, 02:01AM
All commercial banks will be able to adjust their ATM-related service fees by the end of this month, as agreed in a meeting late last year, the Bank of Thailand (BoT) has announced.  BoT Deputy Governor for Financial Institutions Stability, Krirk Vanikkul, said the state-owned Krung Thai Bank has taken the lead in reducing the fees, and other commercial banks are expected to follow suit by the end of this month.  Under the recently agreed conditions, the first same-bank, cross-city money transfer each month will be free of charge. For other transfers in the same month, ATM cardholders will be charged a flat rate of B15 per transfer. Customers making same-bank, cross-city cash withdrawals will be charged a flat rate of B20 for each transaction.  Customers will also not be charged for the first four cross-bank, same-city cash withdrawals and balance inquiries each month. A B10 fee will be charged from the fifth transaction, both in Bangkok and other provinces.  Mr Krirk admitted that commercial banks might lose B100 million or more a year in income because of the new fee adjustment. But he said he believes the banks will be able to find other sources of income to compensate for the loss in fee revenue. – NNT
