mangkorn Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 No ideas for other streets named after foreigners? I know three more, I think (one debatable) . . . G Henry Dunant Rd, The road in front of my Vet School. Soi Convent ,Silom. Henri Dunant was the founder of the Red Cross. He witnessed the massive suffering at the battle of Solferino so he devoted the remainder of his life to creating the Red Cross. The Hague conventions of 1907 and the Geneva conventions of 1949 were inspired by him and his work. Cowboy....well everybody knows who he was. I suppose his efforts were humanitarian in another way. I don't get it: who was Cowboy? "Cowboy" was the owner of a 'bar' on what is now soi Cowboy. The name of his bar was "Cowboy". Oh... And I thought it was Thaksin. Back when he used to boast of his close friendship with half-wit George Bush, he said: "We're both cowboys..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
