lannarebirth Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So Thaksin booked Jakraprob for his opening act? Poor man's Lalapalooza tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalgaryII Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Wow, what entreprenuerial spirit. Good for them.....No travel Agency from here, but just organizers. Three busses filled so far, with no hotel, one day there and back, at 800.00 baht per head. With no interest in seeing Thaksin, I will stay clear of that border chokepoint. Will have a comfortable coffee with a good book at the German Bakery that day instead. Unless some of you want to discuss politics....no problem. I may even spring for a coffee.

saengsureeya Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So, one full day to Siem Raep due to Songkran on the way to the border and one full day from the border to Bangkok due to the still ongoing Songkran on the way back. One day in Siem Raep to see the big leader and his puppets. Probably nothing more a minivan will be filled with red-shirts and OMG they are not allowed to go over 90 kmph........

mca Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I reckon it'd be the perfect opportunity for some poster's on here to tell Thaksin, Jakrapop and the red shirts exactly what they think of them face to face. 6500 baht? Cheap at half the price! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Maybe anyone wanting to learn about Thai politics first hand and also needing to do a visa run should sign-up for this package. Be sure to dress red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to dress red. I might go and wear yellow, but second thoughts... um... no. Ever stood at the Kop end, wearing a Man U vest? Me neither, cos we pis**d all over the git, and filled his wellies.

hellodolly Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Well there won't be many rice farmers taking up that package! Or the Cassava farmers. Or the Sugar Cane farmers. or there field workers and their family's. People forget all these people are no better off than they were when Thaksin came into power. Well there are the exceptions that he paid money to for raiding hospitals trying to burn Bangkok down and holding all of the Bangkok business section as a hostage. Chances are most of that money has been drank up by now. Edited March 29, 2012 by hellodolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
