Old technology, same message

Pattaya Mail reports the fuss Thais made over the last day of telegram service in Thailand. After 133 years the telegram service has become obsolete, replaced by email and all that.

Thousands of Thais showed up on the final day to send commemorative telegrams.

The very last telegram sent from Pattaya was from “Noi” to a gentleman in Finland and the text was as follows:

BROTHER ME MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT I NO MONEY EAT
