Zaad Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 P127, History is my weak....Thai history..well, don't start. Thailand has an incredible rich history and all those facts and numbers confuse the hell out of me. Glad to have scored 5 points in your quiz though I'll be waiting for the answers.

pattaya127 Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Brink just scored 18 points (#3 wrong only). I am amazed as he claimed with his answer that this was a difficult quizz. I'd hope the members who answered the Thailand quizz would certainly enjoy this one. So far, only 4 answered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 It was a hard quiz as it dealt more with historical and cultural facts than standard trivia. I, for one, enjoyed it quite a bit. The reason that you may not have received more replies is that it was difficult. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
