Don't shoot the messenger!!
A lot of what we've been talking about.
lomuamart,
I think the title of this thread sums it up. There's nothing new in the article, in fact the author could easily have written it after reading a couple of threads from this or many other web forums.
It is all very high level, with no attempt to go in to depth.

"These old farangs damage the reputation of Thailand; they turn Thailand into a land of prostitutes."
Feeling the strain of the tourist influx, the Thai government recently announced a new approach: the country would no longer focus on the quantity of tourists, but instead target "quality" — read "wealthy" — tourists.

I second your statements buksida.
What about this: "We are getting a lot of weird retirees here," Vongthip said. "They can't survive in your country so they come here."
What on earth does she know about America or Europe, and why won't I survive there?
