awakewarrior Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 All the Marketing, Branding, Product placement, Discounts, Free giveaways and an Advertising budget in the millions cannot sell people a Rotten Product....Well, to most they can't, but of course their will always be a few.

lostinisaan Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 IanF said everything that needs to be said, all those PM knockers sod off, he may not be the flavour of the month but to post your stupid anti government rants on this occasion truly tells the rest what a miserable lot you are. Why the hell couldn't all be happy for the FATHER DAY EVENT, but instead the usual brigade have to bring in their agenda. Not happy until the election happens, and if we get a lousy government again ME THINKS they will be happy. You should be careful with your donkey truck.......

NongKhaiKid Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So that is one success after the lottery prices. Is it too much to ask for some more when it comes to important issues? Another ' success ' to be added to the list that he'll be presenting to the nation in a couple of weeks. i wonder how extensive the list will be ?

LannaGuy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Silly stuff. Well, I guess the Thai people need to be distracted from current troubles.... Why silly? If this event encourages people to get out of their cars and do a bit of healthy exercise, if it encourages people who drive to think about sharing the road a bit, if it encourages people to enjoy cycling, then it can't be silly. Brilliant event. Well done Thailand. oh, so that's what it was about... OK, cool, ... it is amazing that some people actually believe it IS about biking! could say more but TVF is in a censoring mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Not the same as posting here but last Friday the BBC told their worldwide audience exactly what it was all about and it wasn't cycling, health or exercise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat2013 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm still curious if this event was actually 29 kilometers as stated? Did anyone measure it outside of gov or related agencies? I think it is a legitimate question with their history of events that require a measurement of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant event. Well done Thailand. I absolutely agree in the words above. However when that's said lets not forget that the country are under military control.Cycling for father and mother,and better health is a good initiative but I would be wary if the population begin and follow mass gatherings without thinking through what the motiv are.

rubl Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It's nice to read everyone is pleased with the "bike for Dad' event.

waitforusalso Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well I suppose if you can't organise anything that will actually benefit the long term well-being of the people, you can organise a bike ride & try to get credit out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your naive belief in a benevolent military junta, contempt for the Thai peoples ability to select their own government and bizarre obsession with imagined "agendas" with you.

FangFerang Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I thought it was nice event. Despite farangs whinging, the King is a good man, and his mother spent her last years drilling wells for villages that had no water. He is an accomplished jazz musician, photographer and engineer. I wish we had someone important who loved us that much in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant event. Well done Thailand. That is for the news media yes.... Back stage, I would stipulate, the agenda is much more to encourage the people to follow the designated leader... (Won't say more..). Good event yes, agenda starting to be a little bit too obvious though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ancestors hadn't been a bit miffed with George Third, or if the British generals had been competent, you could still be a loyal subject of a caring monarch. Probably still a useless government though, same as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
