rak sa_ngop Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 This should solve the problem of all those poor unfortunates who have been kicked out of Hua Lamphong station overnight. Remember all those smelly old men hugging radiators for warmth in British public libraries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I see Thai people read, but not many. My Thai language teacher was a voracious reader. She read books in 5 languages. I hope they sell coffee there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanee Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 So this is then probably enough to put off all TV-posters-or another chance for them to enrage in spitting out: its right on the corner of that much maligned road named KhaoSarn-a former Lotteree office along Ratchadamnern avenue. That area has indeed a few thousand homeless people-and within 1 km-near the city waterworks, also a home/hostel for themunknown to most though.
