anon467848 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I wonder how many provinces took advantage of the drought to do some maintenance and flood prevention? I'm sure that you could count the number on one hand. Next thing you know, everywhere will be flooded, which causes billions of baht worth of damage to property/infrastructure, and all the local govt. will do is a retroactive patch up job...

taony Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It be nice to read at least one tiny detail of the plan. Or is there actually a plan at all? Maybe just a budget to divide up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabothai Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 "Happy to be back in his homeland" can imagine after his trip to the Russians. He will probably be happier to be around the Chins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, he could go northwest and spend some quality time with the Shins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
