He will be replaced by Udon Thani governor Amnat Pakarat.
Transfers reflect promotions and demotions and are politically motivated.

The Party Season has started
Had heard of a few locals heading to this festival at Amphoe Akat Amnuai a few days ago
Unfortunately I was in the mids of fighting the flu and bronchitis.
Sorry I missed this one, but there'll be plenty more ahead.
Wondered how Thailand's tourism is really doing.
The government is touting increased arrival numbers, but other sources seem to indicate there's problems in paradise:
Jomtien to become a Ghost town - TeakDoor.com
The Changing Face Of The Pattaya Punter-Stickman
Thailand's bars are getting busier... However.. - Dave the Rave.
From personal experience in the tourism industry, tour groups tend to spend less on extra's.
In fact most believe tips are included in their tour price.
I'd like to see the outtakes from this production

I stand corrected
Liver fluke larvae can penetrate the skin of a human host.
 |
| Wikipedia |
read about the leaf shaped flatworm Trematode
The larvae attaches to fish skin and plants such as watercress.
Snails and slugs are the main carriers of liver fluke and transfer them to vegetation.
Liver flukes are also common in a exposed wild and domestic animals.
Nong Han (Lake) is known to be infested with the parasite.
It stands to reason that surrounding waterways are similarly invested.
