The Thais cannot believe their luck, They scam us as a habit, and charge us ten times what they pay to visit a National Park.

Keep us out of Thailand with expensive and oppressive, unreasonable restrictions, and when we cannot arrive in Thailand and they are hungry as a result, we feed them!

That is grossly unfair of you. Yes many people are scammed and yes it is often foreigners, but not only foreigners. If you think the scamming is purely against foreigners then clearly you know nothing about this country. Cheating others is part of the national senior institution instigated and enacted from the very top down to this day. Most call it corruption but it is simply cheating less informed people out of what is rightfully theirs, or should be theirs.

Now the most susceptible to this scamming, cheating corruption call it what you will are those at the very bottom of the "food Chain". These poor people due to the corruption and incompetent fiddling of the government and greed of the Elite have mostly been made destitute. Some recent figures suggest that is in the region of 5 to 6 million people nationwide have now crossed over that poverty line.

Now if any organisation provides help in the way of food  and water to help these poor people it should be applauded. Not ridiculed in a way that only illustrates your ignorance of the critical situation facing many people in Thailand today.

OK I modify my post. Thai scam everyone not just ferangs.

However I do not modify that ferang pay ten times what a Thai pays to enter a Nation Parks.

I never ridiculed what a foreign charity did to help the Thais, but I am not applauding them.

@TheThaiger First of all, why this picture of somebody not wearing his mask properly? Not on the side of good PR one would say.
