News Forum - Pattaya restaurant blamed for taking over public beach
The only time I've ever been to Phuket was almost 35 years ago. A friend and I rented two motorbikes and while riding on a beach road there, we were stopped by a hotel employee, telling us we couldn't pass, as the hotel owned the road and the entire beach. It was my first visit to Thailand, so I just believed them. -

More likely from the Indians in India, seeing as they stole the word too: The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: svastika, meaning "conducive to well-being" An important early use of the word swastika in a European text was in 1871 with the publications of Heinrich Schliemann, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika It's exactly the same origin as the Thai word 'sawsdee'. In fact the Nazis used the word before the Thais, as the Nazis started using it in the 1930s. The word was introduced to Thailand in the early 1940s. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_greeting#Origins- 1
