WhizBang Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Now you can't even get permission for a music festival? Too political, I suppose. This regime is becoming seriously unhinged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinmaew Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I dont see ACDC or Mick and Keith stopping, they do their business in countries that welcome foreigners and are easy to do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Now you can't even get permission for a music festival? Too political, I suppose. This regime is becoming seriously unhinged. In this case it was the locals who threw a spanner in the work and withdrew previously granted permission at the last minute. The local bib are claiming the need for govt permission being required to cover up the fact they are unwilling or more likely unable to do their job.

bermannor Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Oh tomacht8, do you think that the organisers would ever be able to stage another event when sueing the authorities? A typical impulsive reaction with no far sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical impulsive reaction with no far sight. The situation is already clear, but one need not to swallow everything. They are intended incurred financial losses. As a concert organizer one is not a suitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 How would any business or organization want to take the risk of doing business in Thailand? The political uncertainty and rules and regulations and governing bodies is so disparate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
