He told me that BP are maybe starting some operations here.

Said it was all top secret.

I know better thanto believe strangers here in thailand all the time.

Does anyone know about this.

I used to work for BP in Scotland.

Probably it's only a 'secret' as in "Let's not tell the poor farmers they're sitting on a fortune. We can't be paying out billions to too many Jed Clampetts now can we?"

Take a look at the prosperity of the villagers who live amid the Queen Sirikit oilfields in Phitsanulok. You won't see any buffalo with gold-plated horns up there.
