Hi All,
In response to this article, I am sorry Peter's family had unpleasant experience in Thailand. I do not have "handicapped" children so can't even emagine how it felt. But in defense of Thailand, the tourist should realize that no other countries will be like their own regarding facilities, etc. When visiting other country especially Thailand they should be polite and friendly to people. Some American (especially from the West coast) can be pushy and rude, Thai people are turned off by this and they will not want to help these people -- taxi driver etc. or may be he has to go turn his car in to the taxi company? People need space for stall so they can sell their wares so they survive. I was with my daughter in Thailand 2 years ago and bargained for shirts for her, we were polite and friendly, the sale clerk gave us the bargained price. There was an Indian lady who was very rude, who came back twice for the same shirt but the clerk wouldn't sale them to her for the bargained price, he later tole me it was because she was rude.
