mojorison Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Nooooooooo this can't be true. They said they had it and I have already booked my flights, accommodation and got quality tickets from Somchai the tuk tuk driver. That's it, if they don't have Wimbledon and the Melbourne Cup next year I am going to be really pissed. Not happy Jan. Somchai's a prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojorison Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Next year Bangkok will host the New York Marathon, the Melbourne Coup (sorry cup), the Daytona (500), and following Vanessa Mae's courageous efforts Thailand will submit a bid to host the 2022 winter Olympics. Is there no limit to the vision of Thailand's Tourist Authority? Can't see the winter olympics coming through TBH. It would conflict with high season on Koh Tao.

ezzra Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thailand not well equipped to host a Tour de France, a Tour de Som Tam maybe, Tour de France, No... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The F1 race in Thailand next year is still to proceed right? TBF, having the F1 which travels around the globe is probably a distinct possibility in the coming years should Red Bull continue to have participate and have a measure of success. Not sure what the high society types from around the world will make of the facilities, F&B, accommodation provision etc in Buriram though. Not to mention health care provision for drivers. Err... how about Thailand having the cure for ebola? That would be a unique selling point where healthcare provision is concerned, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llz Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Quote from OP "Manche, named after the French term for the English Channel that separates the country from Britain, has played host to a Tour stage 23 times since 2011, most recently in 2013 when an individual time-trial ended at Mont Saint-Michel." ! Only 3 years have gone by since 2011 and yet Manche has hosted TDF 23 times? WOW!!! Impressive!!! I wonder if the TDF organizers will be invited for a meeting at a certain Camp? Well spotted ... the original release by the French organiser writes the Manche played host to a Tour stage 23 times between 1911 and 2013 : another example of inaccurate reporting ... Anyway the pictures will be impressive ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Has there been some slippage in the earth plates that the US jet propulsion department hasn't heard about or something the earth shattering tabernacle choir hasn't been told, Thailand last time I looked wasn't near France and on the strength of that, Tour De France means just that, a tour of France, if you want a Thailand one, go for Tour De Thailand. Now that's a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Anyone who seriously thought that the Tour de France could start in Thailand (or be held in Thailand( must be incredibly naive. I think TAT do not even know that France is in Europe. And those who think that it could start here must be ..... well naive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Can you actually be absent from something you were never on or ever in the running to be on? I mean if that's the case I'd like to know why I was absent from: The Oscar nominations The New Year's Honours list The worlds most handsome man poll The Olympic squad Playboy mansions Christmas Party In fact any of the places or events you see others going to and think "why not me?"

Bluespunk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The F1 race in Thailand next year is still to proceed right? There are rumors that plans are in the working to combine both events e.g. F1 and tour de France simultaneous on the same circuit. I'd watch it.

yeeowww Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What a <deleted>'n class A buffoon this self elected demigod of a PM is. I thought the others were real "pieces of work", but this guy is really putting the sinker into this lovely country. Feeling so sorry for the lovely people of Thailand. But you've brought in on yourselves. It's a sad thing that in a place that puts so much importance on the ridiculous concept of "Loss Of Face", you are the laughing stock of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peecee Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've heard through the TAT grapevine that Thailand might organize a fifth annual Grand Slam tennis tournament. The same source offered the Big Ben for sale. Whats the asking price for Big Ben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
