October 29, 201510 yr I do not (and never will) use Facebook, Twitter etc.) but from what i read on TVF I reckon that this media is having some impact even here in Pattaya. Viewers around the world. cpomments freely avaiable for all to see Scammers getting fined, aggressive vendors also; worst road deaths in the world (well almost) - some actions being seen to be taken it seems That's the good side of such media What say you?
October 29, 201510 yr Thai business philosophy seems to be "Mind Over Matter" : They don't mind and you don't matter! The Thais have always felt comfortable in the knowledge that another bus will arrive imminently. Your thoughts, cares, and concerns are NOT theirs. I wonder what goes through their minds (if anything) when they must close their businesses for the last time? Thais have been spoiled with tourism for as long as they can remember. I think the social media does affect some of their businesses but they operate as if another bus is about to arrive, and often does. Must be much tougher in the Philippines....

Swedish guy I swim with analyses Thais ,he states you can look into a Thais eyes and it registers nothing,just vacancy,also states can say "cuckoo" "anybody there?" too to them to garner a reaction

October 29, 201510 yr Numbers of tourists and expats has soared since the advent of the internet and later social media in all its forms so I'd say you premise is false.
