How much for the autographed picture and commemorative doily?

[x5david]

Hmmm...taking the bus...I do hope they all arrive safely...

[GentlemanJim]

Well there won't be many rice farmers taking up that package!

[Payboy]

Does it include a happy ending?

[slapout]

Would it not be more convient, prudent, and cost effective etc, for the stars to come to the mountian instead of the multitudes traveling to the sink hole.

Or the Cassava farmers.

Or the Sugar Cane farmers.

Why not? At the election they promised in 6 month everyone will be rich.

6 month are gone so the rice farmers are rich now.

[engrin]

Not sure what you guys are talking about, the farmer can use their new Amex cards.

[lannarebirth]

So Thaksin booked Jakraprob for his opening act? Poor man's Lalapalooza tour.

[CalgaryII]

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]

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........

I think this a great trip and all of TV members should sign up for this. It will be great for all of our rich wife's to get together and brag about how rich and how Chinese they are.

I can speak Chinese as well as my wife and we will enjoying taking to them in Chinese.

I think it is a reference to many men in TVF claiming that they are not living with or married to a beer bar floozie, but instead are married to an educated , light skinned woman that is descended from wealthy Sino- Thai bloodlines.

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!

[MEL1]

And one sad day, looong ago, he used to pay for these adventures for his cronies...

And now look. UK Banks & Swiss Banks. amongst others, have frozen his balls..... it's heart breaking.

Wey hey! Let's party!

-mel.

Really, I did a four day trip to Siem Reap last August for 4,500 including travel and hotel.... inflation eh?

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.

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.

The reds wouldn't pi** on a yellow, they'd kill him.

-mel.

But I thought they they got paid to go to these things. Oh, that line must be BS.

So...one bus full of blue rinse set and snobs....one bus full of hookers....I know which funvee I'll be on.

This event is not for the riff raff. They don't want Molotov cocktails to meet Mr. Big, only welcome cocktails.

I mean cheap for an audience with Thaksin. Imagine. Being able to insult him and the reds to their faces rather than from behind a keyboard. Any takers?

To the man from Pattaya I would say only this....don't judge everyone by your own standards, Harry!

I think I'd rather meet Thaksin!

[hellodolly]

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.
