Chapter 131: The Great Men of the Last Life

Flying from Hong Kong to Bangkok, Huo Dongjun chose a more secure Hong Kong Airlines, although it seems that Korean Air's service and flight attendant standards are obviously much higher than Hong Kong Airlines, and the departure time is also earlier, but Huo Dongjun still insists on his choice.

Without it, at the end of 87, a Korean Air plane was boarded by North Korean agents from Don Mueang Airport in Thailand, planted a bomb on the plane, and then flew all the way to Seoul, South Korea, and detonated, setting off a maximum New Year's fireworks for South Korea, so that all South Koreans spent the New Year in a sad atmosphere.

After the bombing, Korean Air lost all its guests almost overnight, and even though the flight attendants who were now selected were able to compete for the world beauty pageant title, passengers at the airport did not even look at the Korean Air logo.

Huo Dongjun is one of those tourists.

It only takes three hours to fly from Hong Kong to Bangkok, after landing at Don Mueang Airport, Huo Dongjun exchanged 50,000 Thai baht from the airport's currency to huàn, I have to say that Thais are very snobbish, few backpackers like Huo Dongjun are so much Thai baht, so the staff of Huàn took the initiative to enthusiastically introduce Huo Dongjun in English to a temporary translator who understands Chinese, mainly because the other party is also going to downtown Bangkok, and can temporarily act as a guide for Huo Dongjun along the way when taking a taxi.

After being taken into a colorful taxi by the guide in his twenties, Huo Dongjun asked the other party:

"Thai-Chinese?"

"Yes, sir. The guide was very polite, turned around from the front seat and said to Huo Dongjun.

Huo Dongjun smiled and asked, "Isn't it true that many Thai Chinese don't speak Chinese?" You are so young, you should have grown up in Thailand and specially studied Chinese?"

"I immigrated to Thailand from Taiwan with my family when I was eleven years old, so I know Chinese. ”

After chatting with the other party about some Thai customs and customs, and talking about some recent changes in Taiwan, Huo Dongjun turned to the topic:

"I'm in Bangkok, if I want to buy a mobile phone and number, what can I recommend?

Zeng Lizhen gave vague information that a telecommunications company in Bangkok, Thailand, plans to launch a satellite, but it is not clear what the name of the company is.

"There are not a lot of people who use mobile phones in the whole of Thailand, the cost is too high, and there are not many options, sir, if you need to buy a mobile phone and handle related business, there is only one company that can handle it, Shinawatra Telecom. The guide said to Huo Dongjun: "If you are only here for a few days, you really don't need to have a mobile phone, there are many public telephones in Bangkok, and the cost is low. ”

Shinawatra, Huo Dongjun felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had heard it, so he asked again:

"Shinawatra is supposed to be a Thai surname, who is the owner of this company?"

"This company was founded by Bangkok Police Lieutenant Colonel Thaksin Shinawatra who resigned, and last year without bidding, Shinawatra Telecom got a 20-year mobile phone franchise from the government without bidding, in fact, he is Chinese, but in a place like Thailand, if you want to join the army or become a civil servant, the Chinese also have to change their Thai surname. ”

Thaksin, Huo Dongjun rolled his eyes, even if he read less news in his last life, he had heard of this name, Prime Minister of Thailand.

However, in the last life, Thaksin was prime minister after 2,000 years, and it seems that he has not been in politics in this life, but judging from the introduction of this guide, even if he has not been in politics, Thaksin's influence should have been not small, and the exclusive right to operate mobile phones for 20 years is not something that an ordinary businessman can get his hands on casually, no wonder he can plan to launch satellites, the life of a satellite is only more than ten years, but the management rights have been 20 years, and it is exclusive, and after the popularity of mobile phones, the cost of ten satellites can be recovered.

After entering the downtown area of Bangkok, Huo Dongjun did not rush to Shinawatra Telecom, but walked around the scenery of Bangkok with a backpack.

Although I don't know Thai, many signboards in Bangkok are hung in Chinese, because there are not a few Chinese in Thailand, and even if I don't know Thai, I can cope with some simple conversations in English, so from the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Khao San Road circle, there is no scene of communication due to language barriers.

At night, Huo Dongjun just turned to Siam Square, the largest and most prosperous landmark building in Bangkok, a collection of several large shopping malls and food courts, from a restaurant in the food court to taste some snacks, Huo Dongjun was a little depressed, because he was lost, Siam Square is surrounded by various alleys as complex as spider webs, he didn't remember which alley he came in from before, the pattern of each alley is similar, Huo Dongjun originally wanted to ask the waiter of the restaurant, but hesitated, In the end, I chose a random alley that looked brightly lit and walked in.

This alley was originally filled with vendors selling clothing and snacks, but at the end, it was found that a group of people were gathering in the open space at the end of the alley, and the open space had been built with four stacked tire pillars and a few ropes to build a simple boxing ring, a boxer was shirtless and wearing only shorts, walking back and forth in the field, and a guy who looked like a host was excitedly speaking Thai to the gathered crowd, even if Huo Dongjun did not understand Thai, he was no stranger to this scene, and he was already quite familiar with this kind of picture when he was in the Kowloon Walled City.

The host finished shouting in Thai, and shouted again in English: "Anyone can go on stage, only need to pay 100 baht, you can punch or kick Bingwang ten times in a row, if it is an ordinary tourist, hit him with a punch, 6 baht, kick a leg, 100 baht, you can knock him down once, 106 baht If you are a fighter or feel that you want to fight, you can also play fairly, you can win 20,000 baht if you win Bingwang, and if you lose, you only need to pay 10,000, come on, come and see the real Muay Thai"

Huo Dongjun felt a little bored and pouted, this kind of boxing ring may not even have the first level of the Kowloon Walled City, at most it is just to cheat some tourists out of money

The host's incitement didn't seem to be weak, a blonde foreigner shouted and walked up to the stage, and made a victory gesture with several companions shouting below, the host was sure that the other party just wanted to hit Bingwang and not officially fight, obviously a little disappointed, but still gave up the ring for the foreigner ghost guy, and pulled the young fighter named Bingwang to the opposite side of the ghost guy.

The foreigner threw a punch, and was flexibly dodged by Bingwang's backward sliding step, Huo Dongjun sighed, this boxer named Bingwang just slid backwards The action made Huo Dongjun very surprised, it seemed to be more fluent than Chen Dong's Muay Thai footwork, which aroused his interest.
