NongKhaiKid Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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.

anon467848 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deli Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
