moonoi Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 and after that it's BKK Marathon on Nov.15Highly doubtful that it will cause any impact given it runs from 1am to 10am on Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The Singha heir, who orchestrated the "crackdown" on Chang for facebook images, and probably orchestrated the Chang Beer Garden "crackdown" is holding an event the police know nothing about. The Singha heir thinks he is cutting into Chang's business, but is instead just showing his allegiance to the non-elected government, and they are reciprocating. I won't drink another of his beers ever. And in advertising, the Singha banner was on many high rises in bangkok...but no action on that, of course.
