Who Loves Thailand?.. No, Who Really Loves Thailand?

[ABCer]

Tourists love it - they swarm in like bees to honey for various reasons.

Expats love it - otherwise we wouldn't be here for various reasons.

Thais love it - naturally (it is their land) and so most of them say.

So, the question of who loves Thailand seems to be an open and shut case, BUT...

how is it possible that people are killing its shores and waters, killing all marine life including

beautiful reefs? Polluting the warm sea water, covering the beaches with refuge and fishing out the coastal waters to death?

I am talking here about the Gulf of Thailand which is quickly turning into a Dead Sea. No conservation, no regulation, no control over pollution.

How long Thai tourism ads are going to work luring people in only to see beautiful beaches covered in tons of rubbish?

Why do we love this country to death?

Well, like Meja sang: "It's all about the money," (and a lack of education).

Trawling through TV forum gave me the impression that most expats here hate the country.

That sums it up really - and worrying about the ecology is hardly our problem if the Thais can't even pick up their own garbage and still crap in the bushes.

Nice. Really nice. Great attitude.

OK, have seen 5 responses and this is enough.

Basically, you do not care about this place, as long as there is someone or some who will give you oral sex for the pittance you can offer.

Some Expats! Looks more like Rejects!

P.S. Apology for appearing on this local site. It won't happen again.

Blindness or stupidity or both is not a fair excuse. Why not talk about it, Why not call things for what they are`?

Close your eyes than, shut your head into the sand, but let other people breath and take notice of the surroundings..

Just when it seems we've fin'lly made a breakthrough

Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?

Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

I am married and living with a Thai lady near Don Muang Airport since 1988.

We discussed this question with friends many times and the conclusion is :

- Khun Anand Panyarachun warned a few years ago that Thailand had also a dark side and we all know that.

- but where in this region is live easier for foreigners? Vietnam? Malaysia? Laos? Cambodia? We came to the conclusion that Thailand is still the best place to live for us farangs.

Hate is an understatement for some!
