slapout Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 This may prove to involve another pipeline that will be tapped and most of the proceeds siphoned off. With all the farm product, Thailand has in storage (we are told) all of which have a shelf life which is reaching it 'use by date', the time/cost to build a city or another cartel may be a bit longer than the "short time" paid for.
