    "218 million baht had been contributed to a drug-suppression fund run by the ONCB." Do the drug suppression fund really need 218 million baht? No wonder Thais don't get a good education, all these money are focused on the wrong areas. I say 20-30% of the 218 million goes into the pockets of high ranking people at ONCB.

    The model is damaging the body of the car....what an absurd habit to pose models with cars... I'm interested in the car not the complacent bodies..
