  (I-Newswire) - The much talked about plans for an underground monorail from Patong to Antarctica have been fully announced today says Khun Chocktip, Thailand Initiative for Tourism (TIT) President. After several years of feasibility studies a final conclusion of whether to consider the proposal or not will now finally be decided by the year 2012.
   
  Khun Chocktip explained, “Normally these types of proposals take decades to come to fruition but we have done it in less than ten years. The speed of these feasibility studies puts other parts of the country to shame. The underground monorail to Antarctica has so much potential and even though it will never happen as it is not physically possible we should all be proud of our highly paid feasibility consultants, they offer us such value for money!” As usual the Patong Times refrains from commenting on political matters, especially those that involve large sums of money being spent on consultants.
