Thai cattle king of Thailand dreams of cattle boom
Chockchal Bulake, a Cornell graduate and former California ranch hand, built a 12000 acre northeast Thailand cattle operation aimed at transforming the Korat Plateau into pasture. He touts local cowboys, a Western fort ranch house, a zoo, and plans to export beef while arguing cattle can deter communists. He says area politcal stakes, World Bank support, and Thai US backing are key as rustlers and local poverty pressure the project.
