yes, and i think some top editors at the Nation (thai newspaper) were
forced out of their jobs over this issue.

but there are photos on the web now of the cracks.

its a wonder anyone survives in thailand. a building called New World
Shopping Center on Chakrapongse stree just off Khao San Road

9 or 10 stories tall -- top stories collapsed after a few years.
Corrupt construction pay offs.

they say you stuff a bunch of thai currency notes into a cigaret pack
and hand it to the right person.

All business in thailand is controlled by chinese.

I used to go up to the top floor for iced coffee and the view.
