Nowadays soy cultivation took over and it is rare to see any other crop produced. With the intense production of soy and the usage of agro-chemicals many problems arise, such like respiratory and cancer related diseases and environmental issues like contamination of soil and water reserves.

  • Kim at Mahesak Hospital in Bangkok. At this point he was paralyzed from the neck down and could neither speak nor breathe. On May 14, 2010 during the political disturbance between Red Shirts and army personnel in Bangkok, Thailand, Kim was shot three times while walking to a 7-Eleven to pay his family's bills. He was rushed to Kluay Nam Thai Hospital for life-saving surgery. The most dangerous bullet entered close to his spinal cord and penetrated his lung; it was removed during surgery, but the damage it caused resulted in breathing problems, paralysis, and other severe health issues. The second bullet had not penetrated very deeply and was easier to remove. However, due to the large amount of blood Kim had lost, the doctor considered further surgery too risky: the third bullet had to remain in his body.
