Old Croc Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I've heard the Russians are going to hold a referendum and the results are will be to break away from Thailand. It's going to be renamed Putinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smotherb Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's an interesting thought. A "Hong Kong" of Thailand. But I can't ever see it happening. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Sure it can, all you need is a few more Brits and you could call it Phuk Kong.

harleyclarkey Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Maybe the Thais are hoping that it does become independent. Then maybe it will just float off and hopefully sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 So you have not heard people talking about this? They have regular meetings about it? There is a committee for this. It might be years away but many Thai people think it will happen one day. They want to have more ruling power but no independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They want to have more ruling power" - I think any local Government that can keep public transport away from the people already has too much power.

PlastikbinLina Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Good idea, I'm all for it, this way it will be easier to "deport" all the undesirables, scheme artist, thieves and murderers and rug dealers to Phuket on a bus.... ... what have you got against carpet salesmen...?! Gosh, my Hash name is Rug-doctor. Should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for "losing money" - I see the baht buses in Pattaya making a lot more money than a lazy Phuket tuk-tuk driver who sits around all day waiting to rip off one tourist for a days wages.

It might be years away but many Thai people think it will happen one day. I heard it too in the Bars in Patong - Brits, Ozzies, Norwegians, Germans, Dutch, and French people always talk about Phuket leaving Thailand an becoming a Tourist paradise and a Narco State where all drugs are legal............. Yeah Right!!!! one day pigs will fly under their own power as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Right!!!! one day pigs will fly under their own power as well. The talk was about Thailand's main tourist areas becoming "Special Economic Zones" and therfore exempt from such things as 2am close of bars, and I suspect, casinos would be allowed in these zones. It was to give these areas, officially, more autonomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawaiPlaBoyz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sure..Why Not! Let's wait for the South to annex so we can duplicate (replicate) the same procedure. Oh yes, not bombs please. Just ducky like Pakistan and India! NOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloghead Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Phuket could become a little Sicily if it were independent. It's pretty much there already I'm thinking more along the lines of Eritrea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
