Please tell me I am dreaming , the bloody Maldives will be under water in ten years time................................

no but the MIN of Commerce is !

Grasping at straws, as might be the Islanders soon?

Beginning of an exodus perhaps? First a trickle then a flood, and the Maldives is close and wealth-friendly. Apart from the risk of rising sea-levels.

The writing's been on the wall for a little while. But why would the Commerce Ministry encourage Thai businesses to expand/relocate overseas? Commissions for somebody maybe?

Thais cannot even pronounce Maldives. If you say that to them they look at you if you have 2 heads.

Say "Man Div" and they might know ....

Meanwhile, Thailand is screaming for expansion.........exports crashing, consumer interest waning badly and how many businesses have shut their doors...... and the government urges businesses to go to the Maldives.....which is slowly but surely sinking.....can't make this idiocy up!!

Are we sinking?

And im even more certain that most could not locate it on a map let alone which hemisphere.

Next Monaco or Liechtenstein, perhaps ?

I can understand now why the Royal Thai Marine needs submarines

Are we sinking?

We are, but I don't want you to worry.

We've got a secret weapon.

We've got an Uncle Too.

On second thoughts, worry, I'll join you.
