Popular Post poyai111 Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 Pridi - all respect to the man. A leader, along with Pribul, of the revolution in 1932 (?) which ended the absolute monarchy but, unfortunately, not the lesse majeste injustice. During WW2 Pribul sided with the Japanese while Pridi led the opposition. Deserving of more recognition of his place in history. His only failure was to be his inability to curb the power of the military and the hi so faction of Thai society which, to this day, has been the millstone around the nation's neck 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I'm surprised the Powers-that-Be didn't burn this house down, or otherwise make it disappear. Most vestiges of the 1932 action have been erased, paved over or vanished. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2017/04/14/1932-revolution-plaque-removed/ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN23V023/ But a good poke in the eye by Thanatorn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker88 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Unless parking is severely limited, best to avoid the 2cv and opt for the true Boulevard Ride of the Citroen Ds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young one of our neighbors had such a thing. I didn't like it. And the neighbor was always wearing a hat in the car. It seemed that was somehow part of driving in that car. To be fair, I liked the one from Fantomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
