Is there any doubt that Thais are obsessed with money ?

Now let's see how a certain lady handles this as she has a copyright on outrageous claims.

Standby for her to respond with projected tourism figures, " anything you can claim I can claim bigger. "

No doubt about that ... my beloved wife of 20 years never ceases to astonish me with the Thai obsession for money.

So 8,000 bikers are going to generate B600 Million in revenue. That's 75,000 per person for a 2/3 day event. They must all be staying in 7 star resorts and partying big time.

They dream of 8000 bikers, previous events have been like a sad children's birthday party. Freaking boring

They should have a look how they do it in Sturgis or Daytona Beach...

16,000,000 usd they must be hitting the crack pipe. If they generate 500,000 usd it'll be a huge success

So where does all that money go ? And who's the auditor ?

Wishing, forecasting, fortune-telling, praying, anticipating, etc., are wonderful tools for those that don't have any idea of the true outcome. The god of gold is alive and well, both locally, as well as worldwide.
