Labour market trial

[TacoGuy]

Maybe I'm starting to think a bit too Thai...but I don't have much sympathy for this food activist Andy Hall who is complaining about labour market conditions in Thailand. Whether he's right or not it's not really his right as a foreigner to start pointing fingers, especially at this time when the country is in the midst of a coup. In any case the country is at entirely different stage of economic development than Finland or Britain, and many of the oppressed worker would choose their lot over the alternative - abject poverty.

I hope he merely receives a slap on the wrist, but if he ends up in jail, he really only has himself to blame. Thailand is not the EU. More common sense required.
