geoffbezoz Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Well that was enterprising of them and jolly convenient for the RTP that no Thais were involved in the production. Guess the Burmese's "Thai friends" had not looked after the RTP well enough, or else wanted better "looking after" themselves or else, the latter coming to pass.
