Why is Thailand the magical land where visitors are pained when other visitors do not come to Thailand? I have been to many places and at no time has anyone on vacation wished there were more vacationers to crowd the streets, bars and hotels...
I know that many claim that they are concerned about the bars and those employed by them. Nothing selfish about that! I everywhere I go I always am worried for bars, touts, cheats, scammers, sneak-theifs, and highway-robbers. Yeah, I know that every vacation spot has them but in Thailand they come at you one after the other as if lined-up in wait and don't expect the Government to help. Ever try to get into a park or zoo without getting ripped off? If your lucky you only pay double in price! Don't expect yourself to be that lucky.....
Many are worried that the entertainment workers will not have money to send back home to their needy families. I wonder how the family was able to survive before the "Entertainment" worker sent money home? I find that Thai people are ingenious when it comes to living a life with minimal needs and minimal money.
We visitors force our money on the Thai with outrageous tips in every aspect of Thai/Farang interaction... We visitors teach the Thai that they do not have to work... Just be attractive and "faithful" to our four week love affair and you can live will with free money! Now if you were 19yo and living in a gay mecca, how faithful are you going to be? And lets not forget that your lover only visits for 4 weeks a year????? Oh yeah! I am going to be faithful! LOLOLOLOL Hell! I hope I remember what you look like!
Anyway you have to love the Visitors to Thailand.
.... Holiday? Are bars open? If closed, bad for tourism
.... Earthquake? Are the bars open? If closed, bad for tourism
.... Coup? Are the bars open? If closed, bad for tourism
.... Coup? This is has gotta be bad for tourism
.... Airport closed due to uprising? Don't they know this is bad for tourism?
.... Higher beer prices? Don't they know this is bad for tourism?
.... Farang pricing? No problem for tourism
.... Killings of tourist? No problem for tourism
.... A country, a land, a people about to be pushed into a long brewing civil war? How is that going to effect tourism?
Are the tourist more concerned about tourism in Thailand than the Thai People? BUT maybe I am looking at things differently. Many seem to think these people know not what they do. I on the other hand think that they are well aware of what they are doing and how it will "effect tourist/tourism."
All that being said..... I can't wait to return to Thailand!
