What a daft post!  Comparing apples to oranges.

 

For a start the Thais do not need you to stick up for them or assist them in their already xenophobic ways that they have been taught to embrace by a unelected, autocratic, military junta/ government.

 

Next the huge influx of Westerners, Aussies etc as you describe it were warmly welcomed to these shores bringing in much needed tourist revenue in days gone by. These tourists brought money, prosperity and jobs to Thailand.

 

They paid for their goods and services, they contributed to the Thai economy greatly. They used hotels, bars, restaurants etc.

 

Some fell in love and married here and built houses all over the country and bought cars and pick ups. They improved life for those living in impoverished regions , Isaarn would be still a backwater in the sticks if it had not been for foreigners and their investment.

 

Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, the whole lot blossomed economically on the tourist cash.

 

What they didn't and couldn't do when they came here, was tap in to the local welfare state because there isn't any such thing in existence.

 

If they were sick they went to hospital on insurance or paid for their treatment.

 

They don't beg on the streets nor ask the government for handouts or housing benefits, or money to live on weekly, because they have moved from a poor state from within the EU, and found the welfare better in countries such as the UK, a country where they have taken much and contributed nothing.

 

I FIND YOUR POST AND COMPARISONS RIDICULOUS.

Post of the year already .
