Red Riot..no no is not about Liverpool

This is about our northern neighbours, we so fondly call Thais.

The below caught me.

"The 32-year-old mother of two, a cashier at a department store, took five days’ leave to join the protests to force the Thai government out of power."

"I believe in what I'm fighting for," she said.

Just look at the spirit of these Thais. One of the few countries who refused to be humbled, conquered, ruled or even bullied by foreign powers. Now that's nationalism and patriotism you just can't buy or bargain. SPIRIT to the CORE. Compared to any Malaysian even me, the Thais are leaps and bounds far superior than us. Comprente.

Flashback : A Thai King (name withheld here) once wrote to the President of the United States asking him if he should want elephants for his army. This was the time when Anna was the tutor for the royal family.

Today in Bangkok, the red shirts are trying to pull the plug off of the present Premier's tenure. They're demanding for fresh elections. Ever wondered if such were to take place in Malaysia or should it take place ever? Sometimes, one need to ponder, put aside our prejudices and ask "Is democracy ever worth its cause or play?"

The spirit of these Thais are truly amazing.

The Thais are friendly people, nice, and they adore tourist. They just love to share and enjoy the company of tourist. Maybe they make a buck or two on "you-know-what" but in Thailand it is considered work for wages to support a poor family.

I was looking at the pictures and reading about the red shirt demonstrations in Bangkok and I ask myself, "they care so much for their beloved country." SORRY to say, such love and care kinda "feelings" DOES not exist here in Malaysia. If you go to Thailand for holidays, you'd come to realize the Thais have learned and almost perfected the art of tourism. The last time I holidayed in Thailand, my well spent holiday went like clockwork and my 'entourage' was ensured we never missed anything promised. Such affability. Imagine this ever happening here. Believe me, the Thais may not be well versed in English, but they make it a point to learn and like the language like candy. Will such "feelings" happen here in Malaysia? I can only laugh to my grave.

Anyway, a political crisis is brewing and I'm in no position to say or write anything about what's eating the Thais internally. I shouldn't anyway.

Hope the Thais resolve their problems quick for I'm already thinking of another well spent holiday in Thailand. heheh.

Oh, dear Thais, we the tourist are waiting.
