Why Are You Even Here? The Surprising Attitudes of Some Expats in Thailand

It’s here. This morning the drivers, racecars and teams contesting the inaugural Thailand Super Series will spring into official action at Bira Circuit as Race 3 & 4 of the season – the first on home soil - comes to vivid life.

I'm always struggling to understand why Bira is not better promoted in the Pattaya area. So close, cheap, and a great Sunday out, but actually relatively few spectators. I know it's backed by big money and influence that doesn't care about the income, but even so, must be more interesting racing with a lot of spectators.
