SOTIRIOS Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 ...sad to say but..... ...tourism is the rich relative..... ....and Thailand is the 5-year old that has inherited all of the relative's wealth.... ....and so many of the 'officials' that are in key positions in Thailand...appear to be that 5-year old's friends... ...so much money....clueless as to what to do with it..... ...now and again....coming up with completely idiotic ideas..... ....trying to 'play adults'....struggling with twinges of guilt....and to justify their windfall.....
