rkidlad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Also, flying cars will help with traffic and traffic related deaths. Someone get on with that, would they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 In fairness, all governments spout this rhetoric and we let it fly. Just never stops sounding odd here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 A large part of smart cities development require wireless networks, which most of are illegal in Thailand. Don't believe Thailand adheres to any plans of the ITU, a UN organization. Without wireless, you need to run a lot of cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) The Thais loves big plans and too boost about them, normally they end with failures due to corruption, feudalism and bad planning.

ezzra Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 In order to build a smart city, you need to start with smart and honest people to lay the foundations for such undertakings, qualities that are surly lacking and in short supply at the moment....

Not so much bad planning it is ZERO planning (except how to scrape cash off the project). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Fox Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Sounds like yet another demonstration of grandiloquence by a pretentious senior armed services officer. Air Chief Marshals are usually better known for destroying cities rather than building them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 8 hours ago, webfact said: Deputy PM Prajin emphasizes need for smart city Rather an amazing state from a member of a backward looking government. A government that wants to create "in the box" thinking among the populous and students and bottlenecking the internet and creating censorship by passing a government controlled media law. This is hardly a "roadmap" leading to a smart city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it presumably doesn't need whoever's in charge to be smart? Just as well, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think it's pretty smart to not show retail prices. save the vendors a lot of time. And shoppingmalls which take 30!! minutes to get out of the parkinglot onto the jammed mainroad is also vely smart.... Or driving against traffic, also vely smart....saves a lot of time...
