A man holds a stick as he installs a pump to extract mud at a primitive gold mine in Panompa near Phichin Feb 17, 2011. A group of Thais use primitive tools and methods to extract gold from self-run mines near the country's biggest and most modern Chatree gold mine. A family working at the mine can get around one gram of gold per day which they sell at the site for about 1000 Thai bahts ($32). [Photo/Agencies]
