I didn't realize that one of the sport competions was sex, would the winner get a gold medal?

Sounds like a lot of fun and Thailand should get many medals

May set a trend and make bonking an official sport. Hmmm what would it be judged on, ?

the longest or the quickest, or maybe the style.

Cabbies play it straight at Universiade

Published on August 10, 2007

While athletes at the Universiade Bangkok 2007 games are busy chasing medals, taxi drivers are set on making a fortune.

More than 70 taxi cabs are available at the Universiade Taxi Service Centre at the Thammasat Rangsit Campus, offering convenient transport for participants who wish to take in Bangkok's attractions or shop for memorabilia.

Prasith Sangthong, in charge of the centre, said the service opened on August 1 and had received a positive response from passengers.

"We have more than 100 customers per day. Among the places they want to go are shopping centres, Siam Square, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Grand Palace," said Prasith, who guaranteed that the drivers would not overcharge.

"Wherever they want to visit they just have to name. The client's wish is the driver's command," he said.

"If they want to go to other provinces, they have to pay a charter price. It costs about Bt1,500 to go to Ayutthaya and Bt3,000 to Pattaya."
