    US to use Sattahip base to facilitate tsunami relief efforts

    Published on Jan 04 , 2005

    The United States choses Sattahip naval base in Chonburi province as its air base to coordinate relief efforts for countries hit by last week's tsunamis.

    The US has already sent surveillance aircraft, helicopters and C- 130 transport planes to the Utapao Royal Thai Naval Air Force Base in Satthahip, along with 350 officials who will coordinate with Thailand's 536 Task Force under the command of Vice-Admiral Robert R. Blackman.

    Since last Thursday, the US has been sending personnel and equipment to countries hit by the tsunami waves -- Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Madacasca and Somalia.

  2. All what I can see is since 3 days, machine gun equipped police gards in front of hotels here in Bangkok. That's the achivement.

    The question is not WHETHER something serious will happen in Bangkok or other places, the question is WHEN it will happen !

    Great result! We all are now in the dangerzone :o

  4. The tourist industry will be greatful. Tons of tourist, all without any criminal records will simply not come anymore to thailand as they also do not got to the US anymore. Enough places to be without hassle and x-ray.

    A lot of countries are very happy to get those tourists as guest and not get welcomed as "terrorists".

    Maybe Taksin fears an other "Madrid disaster". They had also x-ray.

    sad. sad. sad.

  5. Thank you P1P,

    your proposal is clearly a very good one "rent first" then buy. Will do so. FYI, I have a condo at the beach, that's ok, but I like the "mountains" as well. So let's see. I will go to Chiangmai and looking around.

    Thank you P1P and all others. Life is to short to waste time. :o

  6. Every one know that Thailand is a from a dictator roled country. The thing is, the outside world know this too and they know what they have to do. No big company is in favor to work with dictatorships as good governance in those contries are strict and stricter and now CEO want to do business with such countries anymore as he will be immediatly in the squeeze . This is also the reason way almost zero direct investments come into the country. Wait and see, Thailand good bye.
