Path to Prosperity of Thai Farmers poster, PPB-363 (Thai, Bangkok)
A Thai-language photo poster on farmer groups in Thailand. A large photograph of a man bundling rice seedlings in a flooded paddy sits beside a headline and paragraph, with four smaller photographs of planting, a seed-judging contest and a water pump. The text says the groups, formed with the Rice Department, lead Thai farmers to prosperity. The tell is card-stacking: only gains are shown, with no costs or failures, in ordinary farmers' terms.

The Path to Prosperity of Thai Farmers The farmers' joint founding of 'farmers' groups', with the cooperation of the Rice Department, to improve the farming occupation in various ways, such as members pooling shares to buy plough tractors, attending training in various fields, and being encouraged to run mixed farms and raise animals to raise income, is the way that leads Thai farmers to prosperity.
