Bangkok Prepares To Become Asean Capital

BANGKOK, June 28 (Bernama) -- The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is developing strategies to turn Bangkok into the capital of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) after the ASEAN Community (AC) is formed by 2015.

Bangkok Governor M.R. Sukhumbhand Paripatra said BMA welcomes suggestions from all sectors in society to help tailor the strategies, Thai News Agency (TNA) reported.

The City Authority is also joining forces with Thammasat University's ASEAN Studies Centre and other relevant units to help develop the strategies based on the ASEAN Community's three pillars of politics and security, socio-culture and economy.

The BMA's strategies are expected to be completed by August this year.

I wonder what this all means? All this talk of strategies? Something to do with Seychelles bank accounts perhaps?

What is it about this stupid little country with all its self promotion, quackery and delusional logic it still has no real inkling of just how fucking irrelevant it is to the rest of the world.

Capital city for fuckwits and moronic chickenheads possibly and the epicentre of S.E. Asian corruption most probably but that's about it.

I think this discussion is a bit "premature." I'm betting on another Coup before December...

Remember when they had the summit.

Went around doing up the pavements/ sidewalks.

Paid a bar called flyers to paint and put up a new canopy as the delegates went past it.


Remember them driving by just as a Thai guy was taking a piss up the wall (snigger)


Don't matter what you spend if you forget to house train the monkeys...
