The US Forces will go ahead with the 26th annual Cobra Gold exercise, which will be held in May 08.-18 2007 jointly with Thai and Singaporean military.
Usually US military personnel push the local business with around 50 mill USD; that’s big business for some people with very deep pockets, some bars, and many road side dealers. .. As the previous 25 times before, Police and hospitals will have very busy days again.
Anyway, US law forbids assistance to the government of a country where an leader has been deposed like Mr T.. Therefore Thailand could not take part but obviously some don't want miss the "fun"....
For sure, my experience from several previous years clearly indicates to me not show up in Pattaya while hoards of ultra-bright people are running around like made rabbits, not knowing how and where to spend there cash.
I just mentioned US army during May in Pattaya again to my Supervisor; his quick replay was:
Kon Yai ting tong nit noi; Pattay Y T me chai krab. Therefore our previous plans where scrapped.
Nothing against gold, but this one is too sticky.
