Hili Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 my point is what all these things have lost in BURIRAM?? just because someone is throwing around his money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchbike Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Isn't it always a matter of money no matter where? I once described mr Newin as a sort of Roman emperor who give the people bread and games, but besides that, many people benefit from the track and stadium, creating many jobs for the locals. The whole city and province are improving a lot and it's not only the Buriram's investment group which brings in the money. For a change things happening around here ( which is good for me) instead of BKK. Let's see how long it lasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see Buriram with its ~30k citizens developing as a kind of center. But yes its good that locals can profit from it but mostly rich getting richer. In the end its a dream of one man so let him dream his dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchbike Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Newin's goal is to make Buriram a sort of ( Motor)Sports capital, Buriram Beyond Ubelieveable is his Slogan. Besides it's good to live nearby, I find it interesting following all recent developments, Untill now he's keeping his promises and besides money he has got influent friends. It looks like the sky is the limit. I live In Buriram province more then 4 years and in those years, Infrastructure (roads) have greatly improved, shops like Homepro/Thaiwatasadu/Global house/Home IQ came to town, A very nice stadium has been build, a racetrack has been developed and build, new restaurants/ cinema/lively market Go Kart track,Ducati dealer and other Big bike shops On it's way are: more hotels, a Robinson shoppingmall, Kawasaki dealer and the list goes on and on. I'm not an expert on Thailand but but I believe there are not many other cities which have seen such developments in the last few years. As I said before let's see how long it lasts and how far he can get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the above bar Newin's Football club and that great Racetrack are a constant in pretty much every large city in the North and NE. Global/Homepro/Robinsons/Macro etc etc, and big bike dealers have all arrived in the last 4 years in all major built up areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ll2 Posted February 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2015 nevin although a dedicated guy, no one throws their money for nothing just for the development of a city/ they throw money to make more money. this is business. i appreciate the development Nevin Chidchob made over the years there though. He earns his money and locals earn their money too and town develops. nothing wrong with that. it is of course better than old sleepy Buriram town where train station and park and lake was the main attraction! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 This morning went again to the track to meet the Doctor But it turned out Rossi and Lorenzo already left yesterday, Smith and Espargaro were still around but I came for Valentino A bit of wrong info, or give them the benefit of doubt orders from the Team Boss ( since they are testing in Sepang) I checked the annoucement/flyer and there are 3 different versions with different time schedules!? It was possible to testride the R3 on the track, but since I took the mrs and my daughter,I came with the car and did not take my gear, and besides, at the moment I heard no Rossi I was a bit irritated, sorry took no pics today ( for the same reason) My apologies iIf I have misled people with some info I posted in this thread, I did not know either. Well there's always a next time.Saluti! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the World Superbike round there next month hopefully we will see a motoGP race sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
