Would be a can of mountain tuna.

And this air has been collected by a large diesel truck in the parking lot at the Mt.!

Ahhh.... but yours doesn't have pictures.

In all honesty though, another member PM'd me about the story and I didn't see it in General.

How would you know if the air inside is genuine from Doi Phu Kha?

[falux]

Oh my, I forgot the name of the artist who sold his own s_h!t in little cubes.

[andy1308]

I seem to remember something similar being sold in Wales a few years back - clean Welsh air from the top of Snowdon. It was a darn sight more than 30 baht though !

About midnight last Saturday a herd of 20 elephants blocked route No.3259 (the Ban Nong Kog-Ban Wang Nam Phon road) holding up 10 trucks, Yoo Senatham said.

now we have elephant mafia... what next?

Just another scam.

My bottled Lat Phrao air is clearly visible and recognisable as being from this area. I had to lable mine though.

Would be a can of mountain tuna.

I think with the right marketing, with the right graphics, and with the right tourist promotion, one could sell such a can of air with Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy scented tuna aroma for those who wish to take home some olfactory memories.

How would you know if the air inside is genuine from Doi Phu Kha?

You will be able to taste and smell the pollution from the factory that was set up to can it.....

[Plus]

Do they have the factory on top of that mountain? Do they really collect the air there, transport it down, and then inject into empty cans?

It's a whole new business - selling real smells. Nana flavoured tuna is just the start.
