fakename Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 The parking meters went the same ways as everything else, good idea at the time, but once they need maintenance, thats the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiWai Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 GF and I loved this video. Nice to see parking meters were abolished since it's filming. Something I always hated about my country. Some things never change though. Thai girls are still experts at polishing precious jewels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. An American mustang that was shot down was found in a field in Pathum Thani about 3 years ago. The remains are at the fantastic Don Muang Airport Air Base Museum - Free of Charge, btw. I read up on the history of it then, bombing Don Muang iirc, the pilot bailed and lived, died not long ago. I think someone got in touch with his relatives about his plane being found.
