when the average Bangkok worker erns around 331 baht a day (according to the Thaiger yesterday) then 480000 baht for a 3 day seminar is a real waste of local tax money . They should be asking how many hours did the seminar last if there was time for sight seeing as well and travelling to and from the seminar. 

Maybe the province would like to purchase some of those fancy streetlights at 90K each while they are wasting other peoples cash.
