Heard third hand that the British Embassy house might get a reprieve.

On the 24th of February we still had "Central pays record price for British Embassy Bangkok site Central Group has set a new Thai real estate record in its successful bid for the British Embassy Bangkok site. Central will pay more than THB20 billion (US$572 million) for the 23-rai plot of land on Wireless Road in Ploen Chit, adjacent to its existing Central Embassy shopping mall. The company plans to construct a mixed-use project on the land, which – given the land price tag – will undoubtedly require a very tall office and apartment complex in order to recover the capital investment. It will connect to Central Embassy." insideretail.asia/2017/02/24/central-pays-record-price-for-british-embassy-bangkok-site/ |

Here are a heap of ideas for the new premises, British style !  Hardly "British style". That's Irish traveller style and that of Gippos as I believe our Romani cousins now prefer to be called. |

Rumoured to be the new BE in BKK Perhaps as planned by His Excellency Asif Ahmad. (Remember how he got bacon and pork sausages banned in the Embassy?) |

His Excellency probably saw the latest figures on the obesity rates in the UK, hence the ban. Better to eat lentils and goat meat. |
