steelepulse Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) A little birdie mentioned something to me about being in the new King Power complex going in behind the huge King Power building which I',m pretty sure is on the Anuphas family land. How it will pass all the envirornmental aspects is beyond me . Those Anuphas people seem to like to go into JV's by donating the land, then getting some good points out of the JV.

yankee99 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I thought they kicked this around years ago.....at the park by Bangla. Whoever dares go on it.......look out.

IamNoone88 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 167.6m seems to contravene the Building height code by about 10x. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Russian-Thai JV. Certainly after the Chinese and Russian tour group trade. Unless it's the Anuphas family's way of seeing all of their land from one point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastikbinLina Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I suppose the Ferris wheel seats will be made up from the banned beach chairs and umbrellas? I somehow suspected that they wouldn't go away. The beginning of the end of an island paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake failures on a ferris wheel luckily wont be very dangerous I predict that they will 'fail' allowing the wheel to accelerate to high speeds catapulting suicidal farangs far out across the bay.....

Brake failures on a ferris wheel luckily wont be very dangerous Being new it should be OK for about a year till lack of maintenance takes over. Usually this type of nonsense appears along with the worlds tallest buildings just before the world economy tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
