It is not until you read the fine print on the web site that you find out that this is only open to Thais and USA citizens.

"...to be held between July 1921 at CentralWorld."

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Does the Nation have sub-editors?

I believe they have been contracted out and sitting in India, I kid you not !

This is why you now see some crazy typos in The Nation that are just crazy, like 3000Bhat for a noodle soup instead of 30Baht, are missed as the person has no idea what a baht is worth. Anyway........ It just makes Thailand that little bit more amazing eh !!!
