Deli Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Of course willing to pay higher rental fees, as they anyhow overcharge buying tourists. So who cares ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldroj Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 "...as well as auction the rights to operate two restrooms at Nai Harn lake..."! No doubt this will be a serious business venture. Be interesting to see the bidding process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeinThailand Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 30 people gathered, to make a protest, hmmmm. I thought it was no more then 4 people allowed to gather together? Only 5 or more in a political gathering. Still haven't seen what the junta definition of a political gathering is. One could surmise from the news articles that if there are 5 or more against the junta, then they will be arrested. If you have 4 or less, no issues with anything. If you have 5 or more protesting anyone but the junta, you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
