As from today Arugambay has lost its connection to the reliable Thai Government Early Warning system.
The locally monitored, innovative and highly efficient Early Warning System has finally run out of money.

Getting back
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 in Uncategorized
It was too late to slow down – the cop had his speed-gun aimed and had his hand out signaling Runa, the trusty navigator to stop.
It had been a tediously slow drive back from the hills to Colombo as there were sporadic stretches of road in horrendous condition due […]
Fresh drinking water at Arugam Bay still presents a major problem, to this very day.
None of the educated (?) NGO’s ever managed to come up with a true, ’sustainable’ idea which actually worked. In more than two years. With millions wasted.
Arugam.info sees no real problem, after all forward thinking Thais have long embraced popular reverse […]
