ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIRS

Tomorrow (Friday) sees the start of the 7th International Bangkok Book Fair/37th National Book Fair at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok. Last year more than 1.2 million people attended the 11-day event and spent a combined US$13 million. More information can be found here.
The 30th Bangkok International Motor Show is also taking place at BITEC until April 6. The theme is 'Green Life on Wheels' and more information can be found here.
The OTOP Festival in the City takes place at Bangkok's National Stadium from Saturday until April 5, and there's also the Bangkok Furniture Fair, Bangkok Wedding Fair and Bangkok Fashion World 2009 taking place at IMPACT.
All this at the same time as the first 2,000 baht (US$ 60) economic stimulus cheques start to reach some of the country's lowest wage earners.

Over 100,000 people a day, around 10% of the cities population? Wow, that is pretty impressive given that the average Thai persons library consists of a few comic books.
I wonder if those figures are audited or not?
