Thai bid for World Expo 2020 rejected

Bangkoks bid to host the 2020 World Expo has been rejected by the organisers for failing to secure government support. The bid presented in 2010 by the Democratic Party government has reportedly received lukewarm interest from Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatras Pheu Thai party. While denying that her administration had shelved the bid， the PM said in February that more time was needed to analyse the likely return on investment. The costs of organising the event are huge， estimated by the PMs office at between Bt 40 billion （about USD 1.29 billion） and Bt 50 billion （around USD 1.6 billion）. This does not even include the construction of infrastructure in Ayutthaya， the venue scheduled to host the Expo， and transport links to the World Heritage city. According to a study， the country would break even if 37 million people nationwide visited the international fair and each paid a Bt 1，000 admission fee（about USD 32）. Thailand has a population of around 69.5 million people. The average monthly income is estimated at approximately Bt 14，000. （Celion Su）
