How will you deal with it?

I left, after 10 years there.  As I was getting into my 70's it really started to bother me.

I know a lot of people  - individuals and families who are moving out out, - Thai people may not have the option. 

However I think things will change as both local people are protesting and the tourist industry in Northern Thailand is now dead for several months of the year. THe idea that they don't declare a disaster zone because the tourist industry needs to survive will probably have exactly the opposite effect - who's gonna go on holiday to a place whose slogan is "not a disaster zone, yet"?

 

Unfortunately there are other areas of Thailand that are equally blighted - the country needs to/will wake up as tourism is 20% of GDP and lord knows how much absences from work are costing the economy
