ozpharlap Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 ...but the farangs keep coming here. Planes are usually packed everyday. The "worse" it gets here, the more people come here.For the 2 ~ 4 week tourist, they have no idea what is going on, IMO. They stay at there hotel, see the sights, buy this that and the other thing and are on the plane back to farang-land. No fuss, no mess. I guess those types of tourists have no reason to look outside the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all they are going on holiday in a "3. World" country and they don't expect the political and economical situation being similar to their home country.

ThaiHome Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Most people are indifferent about politics in their own countries, why should Thailand even concern them, their only concerns is how much baht to the dollar Actually, according the recently released Survey by the Asia Foundation, Thailand leads most other Asian countries in political interest. TH Thai interest in politics declined from 71% in 2009 to 66% in 2010, although this remains significantly higher than among peers in other countries in the region such as Indonesia (28% in 2003), Cambodia (55% in 2003), and Mongolia (46% in 2009).
