zhounan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) What would happen to Thailand if tomorrow, suddenly, all expatriates, migrant workers and all western tourists left the Kingdom? How about we do a little prank and for a year, at least, breathe some different air????? My post is intended to be ironic, so far the idiots and fools (but not so much, after this morning I saw an honest and tireless Laotian worker being insulted by a Thai) Edited October 9, 2019 by zhounan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire. They have plenty of Thais to service before they get to Farangs. They would rather sit sit in a bar/massage shop on their phones/talking with friends than spend their time up a rubber tree, or in a rice paddy. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds largely like the UK after Brexit. No Polish builders, No East-Europeans who must make up 90%+ of hotel staff, some food shortages predicted. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
