Well if she did not like thast the ntry getting on a canal taxi boat. She would be in the water. No need for her to shame the bus driver. Her fault. Years ago the small busses would not even stop for a foreinger. -

News Forum - Koh Samui booms as over 200,000 tourists visit the popular island in January
Well I guess it’s the choice of words. If it’s been raining heavily and stops. You don’t imply that suddenly there are clear blue skies and record temperatures. You just say it’s stopped raining. The Thai media have a way of overstating things. That said, I prefer optimism over the ultra negative western media. -

News Forum - Bangkok public bus condemned by Singaporean tourist
Well yes, every little helps, I’ll grant you that. But while foreign governments are kowtowing to the Thai government then little will change. If the EU and US were to start calling for changes to some of the things going on more often, then it may also help. Part of the clever control model the elite have developed over the years is to ingrain nationalism in to Thais and keep the poor uneducated. As soon as a foreign or “Farang” start complaining, or foreign governments complain, they claim an attack on Thais. Most dictators and autocratic system try the same thing in one form or another. It’s why I often call out the collective term Farang and why I often call out the nationalistic and divisive headlines we see in the press How often do you see people who are expats criticise Thailands only to be told “If you don’t like it then why live there”. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve had a response like that on this forum alone. I think it’s great that more influential tourists like the Taiwanese actor recently and Bill Gates a few years back call out these things, but your average tourist won’t get anywhere though as I’ve said, it all help and I concede your point
