Ousted Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, left, is received by Sheik Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research, in his palace in Abu Dhani, United Arab Emirates, Tuesday Nov. 18, 2008. Thaksin's whereabouts and his plans to settle down outside Thailand have lately been sources of intense speculation. Thaksin faces two years in jail after a Thai court found him guilty of conflict of interest in a land deal. Thailand's Consul-General in the Emirates Pasan Therapak said Thaksin had only come to visit the Emirates and did not have plans to stay more than a few days, a government-owned newspaper said in a photo caption on Wednesday.

Bangkok is Sinking Under the Sea

Bangkok and neighbouring provinces are at risk of being swamped as sea levels rise, according to warnings at the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change meeting. The capital rests about 3½ to 5 feet above the nearby gulf, although some areas already lie below sea level. The gulf's waters have been rising by about a tenth of an inch a year. But the city, built on clay rather than bedrock, has also been sinking at a far faster pace of up to 4 inches annually as its population and factories pump some 2.5 million cubic tons of water out of its aquifers. This compacts the layers of clay and causes the land to sink. The capital could be under the sea as early as 15-20 years. These pictures were taken at Samut Prakan this morning as high tide flooded the city center. There has been no rain for the last several weeks. (Richard Barrow/ThaiPhotoBlogs.com)
