[Cook my sock]

Maybe they can pay the Chinese to build new islands

Sounds admirable.Or perhaps simply not enough tourists and the money behind the "attractions" is pulling out?

Oh, the cynic in you!!

Prolly correct though . . .

No, totally incorrect.

....to blame tourists is the epitome of irresponsible.....

....no garbage cans.....dumping garbage absolutely everywhere..... styrofoam containers and plastic bags....the order of the day...all for a buck...

...all local phenomena....

....maybe something else going on behind the scenes...'another agenda'...

Yes - you can't blame the tourists, it is the MANAGEMENT of tourism that has to be blamed.

The sad thing as with so many other issues, Thailand refuses to learn from the mistakes of others - they NEVER seem to look at the rest of the world for examples.....at least not until it is too late.
