The Land of Sadness

No longer viewed by the majority of Thais or the expat community as the Land of Smiles, the red and yellow shirts have damaged the image of Thailand and they have caused the people of Thailand to lose face in the eyes of the world.

The yellow shirts closed the airport and the red shirts now brought on the closure of the Asean Summit, resulting in the loss of much-needed revenue for Thailand. It is a poor example of Buddhism to not care about the good but to bring about bad. All those involved in destabilising the economy and making Thailand lose face will get to experience the karma of their actions.

It is a true shame that the government has lost control of the country. The military ''securing'' the Asean conference venue just stepped aside and let the red shirts take control.

Both sides claim to want democracy but they do not listen to the majority, only to their tiresome and unsuccessful agenda. Democracy is a consensus of the majority. Both sides need to sit down and work out compromises until fair and unbiased elections choose the government that the majority elects.
