Khiri named Thai agent for space-tourism venture

[Cuban]

I so wanted this to be Issan city seeking to be the Asian hub of space tourism story.

With photographs of Somchai pointing to a scale model of something with an ambitious graph indicating expects return on sales shown on a projected Power-Point slide in the background.

Please make this happen.

The rockets are not going to be in Thailand.

They will be in either Curacao - a Dutch-controlled island in the Caribbean - or the US.

More than likely Curacao as it can be difficult for a Thai to get a visa for the U S.

It's not going to happen no matter where it is. Why would you only target Thais and limit your potential customers? Sounds like a narrow minded Thai business plan to me, not a foreign one.

To put Thai space travel into perspective, only one Thai in the history of Thailand has even claimed Mt. Everest. And kudos to him.

How do you know there are aren't agents all over the world selling this?

[TackyToo]

Will the current government be taking the maiden voyage together

Is Chalerm behind this new business idea? If so, they picked the right guy as he is living in space for quite a while already.

[drdoom6996]

That's the perfect job for Chalerm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as he is not taking ear medicine while flying the space ship

They are already too spaced out to go.

Please have your 4 breakfast Leos, and when the shakings have stopped, please try to READ the OP again!

Btw I have claimed Mt. Everest as well, but they didn't want to give it to me!

You guys are really a strange bunch.

It's about space tourism from the US or Curacao, and all (most of) you have to say is related Thai politics and Thai bashing... I really do know how you always succeed in highjacking every thread on this forum. You're depressing.

You know what? I am going to go on one of these flights

Is it included on your elite card?

BANGKOK: -- Bangkok-based Khiri Voyages has been appointed as exclusive Thailand agent for Space Expedition Corporation (SXC), which will hold its Asia-wide media launch in Hong Kong on July 8. The first flights into space will be late this year or early 2014.

The cost per trip is approximately Bt4.2 million.

Am pretty sure someone here will catch on soon and start building their own if there's Bt4.2mil per flight to be had...a larger version of this should do the trick

You remember our good friend who told me I should refrain from looking down at most fellow members of this forum?

I try. I really try. Hard. But I can't do it

He should come to read this thread to understand

By the way, I think that this space tourism experience is something to do at least once. It's like visiting Paris or the Machu Pichu. Must be done once in a lifetime.

If this eventuates, it might be good idea to take a walk around before launch to check they remembered to fit the stabiliser fins.

Believe it is already included....doesnt someone who comes to Thailand for the first time feel like they are on another planet ?

That could be the problem - it might happen to be the "last" thing you do!!

[newermonkey]

Not many can afford this here but I do know of a well known Thai monk who can easily afford it, but he has special powers so he might not even need the vehicle

[steveyinasia]

No need for our glorious politicians to travel into space...they have enough of it between their ears.

Do they provide an interpreter, or do you have to pass an English Test?

[atyclb]

Perhaps in the context of Thailand, the space travel entails flights to visit "planet earth" ?

You are a customer, paying to sit next to the pilot, who is in command.

Why would you need an English test?

The day there will be no more profanity and insults on this forum, ... I will quit forever. Promised !

Well, then you are a happy man.

Training is included in the price. If you required additional training they are happy to provide it (at an extra cost).

Hey it's cheaper than a medium level merc. There should be lots of takers.

Legally taxed merc I should add.

Another example of hypocrisy.....Khiri always made publicity and wrapped vouchers in 'environment friendly' covers: "We aim for ecologic and responsible tourism. Contact with the local people". They amde a deal with ASA-group. Private jet supplier in the South Eastern Hemisphere and now transport rich (Americans) to Myanmar to do some 'environmental friendly' cycling.

I spit on those companies making a start with 'local people, benefit for the poor, bringing worlds together, environmental responsible'.

From an air space carrier not much contact with a local Burmese farmer. Follow the US$ Mr. Willem Niemeijer.......founder and CEO of this welfare organisation.
