Stumbo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 What happened to all the warm blankets and warm clothes provided by the authorities last year, and the year before and the year before that and the year.............................??? Well if you were a cynical person, which I am not of course, you might imagine that the provincial centres declare this disaster every year off their own bat to get their hands on the relief money for well planned dispersal. Interesting too of course is that they have identified exactly 138,200 people as being affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) What happened to all the warm blankets and warm clothes provided by the authorities last year, and the year before and the year before that and the year.............................???

PhilHarries Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Money in local politician's pockets. There really is no more to be said abut this thread.... No one should be surprised or outraged. TIT. Correct, but if you've ever been to the north of Thailand during "winter" you'll know just what a pathetic bunch of wimps these people are. The Thais make perfect victims with their ability to look sadder than sad at the drop of a hat and turn on the tears quicker than any crocodile. Is this the first time in living memory that it's got a little cool in the north this time of year? PS what ever happened to global WARMING?

You telling they could not do that in your home country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
