What is Rubber being used for

As we all know Thailand and Indonesia is the worlds largest rubber producer and both countries earn loads of money from rubber, but it doesnt just stop there, rubber can produce and be used for lots of things such as cars, bikes, bicycle they are all using tyres and tyres is made from rubber and latex fabrics such as mats, beds, gloves (rubber), boots, sheets, tubes and a very useful product the condom, This fabrics are all made from rubber and they are very useful in our everyday life, that is why the Government earns a lot of money and is one of the main goods in Thailand.

Big companies in Thailand use rubber for there  fabrics such as Durex and Playboy best selling condom company in Thailand even if its not Thai. The car industries use most rubber in the world because of a population of 7.4 billion and most of the people have cars and one car has 4 tyres. And for every car they all have a brand such as Honda, Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Nissan, they are all big car brands and most selling cars in the World.

For every Industries that include rubber in the product they all depend on Rubber tree plantations especially Thailand and Indonesia because they are the worlds largest producing rubber. But sometimes its bad for Thailand because too many people are planting rubbers so then the prices go down and less rubber trees are being bought and makes framers earn  no money at all.

Condoms helped Thailand a lot because it decreased the number of people having aids and since lots of prostitution is going on in Thailand it prevents the people from getting aids.

Rubber Tree

Rubber Tree Plantation as you all know it is one of the main things that is helping Phuket earn money to develop and the thanks to Phraya Ratsadanuphradit Mahison Phakdi (Khaw Sin Bee) for bringing the Rubber Tree from Malaysia, Since Phraya Ratsadanuphradit Mahison Phakdi (Khaw Sin Bee) died the rubber tree plantation has still been on going till today,  and is properly one of Thailands main source for Goods. And today Thailand and Indonesia are the worlds largest producer for rubber.

In fact the Thai Government bought 100,000 tonnes of raw rubber tree from 45 baht per Kilo from Farmers, This also helps the rubber tree plantation Industry to earn some money too! The Government are earning more money from rubber Industries than rice Industries which is big because rice is one main food in Thai culture.

Russia could sell military planes for exchange with rubber trees, and by planting rubber tree will cost 660,000 baht and by 7 months you would get 4.6 million baht. (2010 Plantation)
As the government gets the money they dont just spend it quickly they focus on what needs to develop more, for example developing provinces, roads, cars, motorbikes, schools, hospitals, and helping developing Thailand to become a better place.

From developing Thailand Phuket was controlled by the Thai military, and they were cleaning the beaches, getting rid of the mafias, moving restaurants out of the beach. The military was protecting the Environment. Protecting the Environment is one of the main step of developing Thailand.

Phuket History

History summary

This is a summary of Phuket history and there are loads of interesting things about Phuket not just the tourism and the beaches but the rich history of Phuket such as the Tsunami in 2004 and the Tin mining and the history of sea gypsies because they were here along time ago with lots of land then nowadays they don’t have any land left because of construction, they kicked them out of their own lands and the rubber trees and an overall rubber trees and palm oil trees cover Phuket up to 60% of the land.

Heroines monument (Thalang road)

Tin mining and rubber trees helped Phuket develop a lot and making them earn money because they can trade with goods with other countries and than earn some money and that could have helped Phuket during the disaster that happened in 2004. Rubber tree was first planted in Phuket by Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi, and the Tin mining was from the Chinese.

The most remembered history from Phuket is the Heroines monument which was built for the 2 sisters who helped Phuket to defeat the Burmese in the invasions, the 2 sisters are Chan and Mook and for thank you their bravery andthe monument was built in Thalang road.

How ever after the burmese were defeated today burmeses still come to Phuket for jobs looking for money even though they are not paid equally and get hard jobs they are still proud coming to Phuket because they are escaping the military Government back at home.

Phuket gets most of the money from Tourism and thats how restaurants, bars, hotels and jobs earn their money and if there were no tourist there would be a lack of money and after the great disaster in 2004 Phuket needed alot of money to recover. Lots of tourist come visit Phuket every year for their beautiful beaches  and go snorkeling or diving to see the beautiful fishes and corals and to taste the tasty food.
