Thailand and ASEAN: So little time, so much to do

Post by Nereus »

Why is it necessary to use expensive cars such as these?

So little time, so much to do

Thailand's time as Asean chair considered as 'fruitful' by observers considering the broad nature of the goals it adopted

When Thailand assumed Asean's chairmanship earlier in the year, the kingdom had high hopes for the bloc, because this year, the helm of the region returns to its very birthplace -- the place where 52 years ago, the Asean Declaration, also known as the Bangkok Declaration, was signed.

Ahead of the 35th Asean Summit and its related meetings, which are due to take place in Bangkok between Nov 2-4, academics and observers see three major documents and/or framework agreements having been signed already -- the Asean Outlook on the Indo-Pacific, the Bangkok Declaration on Combating Marine Debris in the Asean Region and the Asean Framework of Action on Marine Debris -- as Thailand's big achievements this year.
All were endorsed and adopted by Asean leaders during the 34th Asean Summit in back in June.

Don't know, but they need to use them for something. Often a few parked outside at Immigration. Are they electric? The ones at Immigration are usually plugged in.

They appear to be 5 Series BMW's, which are available as a plug-in hybrid.

I posted that photo because you recently posted a dash cam video showing a similar car and you questioned what it was.

Yes, I did, and it looked quite impressive. It seems strange that they use Immigration as their base for these cars.

The badge on the car in the photo looks like it could be immigration.
