Turmoil in Bangkok & North Thailand May 19

Hello,

I think everyone is seeing it on the news, so I am not going to go into detail… I just wanted to let everyone who cares know that my family is OK and that Hua Hin is safe and nice as always.

One thing I would like to say though is my personal opinion about this: I think Thailand needs someone to lead the people, maybe someone like Hugo Chavez (watch “The revolution will never be televised” to learn the real story about Venezuela and Chavez). Anyways, I mean someone who cares for the greater good of the people and just takes control. Thai people are not educated enough to even understand what a democracy is.

Just an example from a friend: Local elections are on and the whole family goes to vote for “Number 2″ (every person that runs for the job gets a number, Number 1 is the person currently holding the position), because Number 1 did not build the road he promised. After voting they all drive over to the house and collect the 200 Baht (about 5 Euro) per person/vote for Number 2. Then Number 1 wins the election, because he paid 500 Baht per vote. Family says: NOT FAIR!

I still prefer to live in Thailand 1 million times over Germany, life is good here!

I love Thailand, give peace a chance ;)
