Tell that to Donald Trump, and you will get a puzzled look on his face saying “Why are you telling me this? You really don’t need to.”
It seems a finger in the palm-shaped pie in Dubai isn’t enough for Mr. Trump as he is extending his reach further east.
He picked Bangkok this time.
What you see in the photo is not just another old building being torn apart. That's simply the building site in its mundane present tense. The bright future envisioned by one of the richest men on earth promises something alot more alluring for this property.Notice the big G on the right side of the photo?
It's the logo of Gaysorn Plaza. “Gaysorn” is a Thai word meaning pollen, the stuff that attracts bees to flowers, that whole 'birds and bees stuff'.Well it seems that Gaysorn also attracts a lot of us “cheerful creatures” too.
Mr. Trump is reportedly joining hands w/ Gaysorn Group in undertaking this project.
Bangkok Post dated September 8, 2008 details a wondrous complex that boasts retail, a six-star serviced apartment to be managed by Starwood, and a luxurious condominium with 30-year leasehold contracts.
Isn’t money madly magical?
The photo was taken from across the street, from Central World Plaza, which the retail section of Mr. Trump’s new toy is expected to be rivaling once completed.
There’s no doubt this new place will do very well. Apart from torrents of tourists who soak and choke the area on a daily basis, there are upper middle class Thais who will fall for anything ranging from some fugly watch for $1,000,000 USD to such in-your-face opulence as sport cars.
I sincerely wish Mr. Trump the success he desires. But his achievement can never match that of the thousands of Bangkok’s 'underdog' street vendors.

Joe, champion of thousands of the super dogs
