monsieurhappy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Came past said building today, on right hand side, just past Butterfly Bar on way to Maprachan and low and behold there's something outside that looks very much like an airship! Bit like that thing they have flying over golf championships etc. So I thought, maybe the BiB are setting up another breathaliser check for all them low flying microlites we get over the res. Anyone else see it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsieurhappy Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I haven't seen it but I'll take a look tomorrow.BTW where is Buterfly Bar. I live off Siam Country Club. Barry When you're heading towards Maprachan from Suk. Rd. after passing the driving range on your left you'll come to a X rd. with warning light. Go straight over and Butterfly Bar is approx. 100 metres on right. There's a large butterfly sign. The land with the airship and hanger is another 50 metres further on. If you've got the gf/wife with you, make sure you don't take her to see the butterflys. They're not the insect variety but they do like to settle on you!

johnh101 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 It was on the Pattaya News the other night. Some local copper has gone into the airship business. He will be selling the advertising on the side and flying it over Pattaya and Jomtiem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Some local copper has gone into the airship business TIT Wonder how he can afford it?

Mobi Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Passed it again this morning - no, I wasn't making a quick detour to the Butterfly bar - it is indeed an airship. I wonder if you can drive in and have a closer look, or is it off limits? Seems to be a brand new hanger -type building next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh101 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am sure he said it was a ten Million Baht Investment, so he must be about the same rank as Thaksin was ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
