New Mayor promises huge crackdown/cleanup of NEP

[deepthroat]

I was just reading on another board that the new mayor of Bangkok (Rudi Jiulianithepet) has been elected after running a campaign marked by his repeated pledges to "clean up the entire Nana and Sukhumvit area". His plan is to Disneyfy the entire area and "make it safe and a magnet for tourists again".

Now that elections are over, sources have revealed that he is planning to announce his plan for the cleanup at a major press conference on April 1 which will be held in the Majestic Grande. Another source I have in the Majestic Grande confirms that Mayor Jiulianithepet does have the conference room booked for that date at 1pm.

According to government sources, he will announce these new sweeping measures simultaneous with a major police crackdown on the NEP, with coordinated sweeps of the clubs and the afterhours "bars" operating along Sukhumvit.

Many of the clubs have acknowledged that changes are on the horizon, with many beginning to look for new locations in Chang Mia and Mai Pen Rai.

You heard it here first.

April 1 - seems like an auspicious day for such an announcement. Haven't read anything like this in the Nation or Bangkok Post yet.

Come April 1, you'll see who's fooling who.

Er, isn't this already the case ?

I would think that any Mayor worth his salt would have to hype himself up with this kind of bullshit. No fucker would vote him in otherwise.

Ok , so a bit of a clean up on Suk. Well that was coming anyway wasnt it .

If Obsessions is closed by July 1st i promise to eat a barbecued sewer Rat

It'll happen one day .... No question about- just a matter of when. Now back to that sewer rat thing- I'd actually pay to see that

[anicon]

..well what happened; the Red Shirts took over the downtown district & they had a shootout with the police/military so the Major had other issues to deal with.. other than the supposed removal of the beer bars on the ground level for fire safety reasons, nothing else has changed there has it?  I'll see for myself tho in 2 more months..

Last I heard the lease is up in 6 weeks and Disney got the new lease. No announcement on what they are planning.

Maybe it will turn out that Minnie Mouse was always versatile after all and will be dancing in Casanova...meanwhile Daisy Duck will be starting in Obsessions after the new boobs have softened up a bit...

Disney site says if you want to view the theme parks download the PDF File - says it all really....
