Not only in the government, I could tell that almost everywhere, I would like to mention to the whole of our society.

The corruption and the greed can occur in any person’s mind. But even 2 corruption person fight each other, in Thailand, the side that fall always could be predict to one. That’s why I mention to the word of aristocracy, which actually I would like to find some more oriental terms/word but I could not efford one.

Dont get me wrong, I did not lead the topics to the whole point of politics, even the word itself described like that. I was to mention about the society with above paragraph

My honeymoon phase with this country came to a screeching halt last fall when the protesting shut down the airport. It was when I took a step back and really looked around me. Which is why I tell people I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to live here and I love it, but, when I move on, I’ll be ready for that as well. The scamming just wears me out and I don’t even get targeted as much as some of my friends. Now, if I could just score a job in New Zealand….

Do you think the AOT guys running the duty free store theft scams on tourists ever thought about how doing it may make people decide to stay away from Thailand? Sad but all too true.

I have heard officials say (well read about the translation in the English newspaper) there is no corruption in Thailand and there is no prostitution in Pattaya. So there!
