Yeah, the old wise ones of my adopted clan say nothing will change here, unless it starts snowing or while a bowl of food can be had for 30 baht somewhere.
They also have the reincarnation wild card, you never know what you'll get next. I have a UK educated electrical engineer Thai relative, he remains concerned that if he
screws up he's coming back as some sort of beetle. I have a lot of follow up questions for him but I'm told it will only piss him off.
