Quote[/b] ]Thais 'under strain' Some Thais have complained that towns like Baan Nam Khem have been ignored, while the international relief effort has focused on foreign tourists. They say that foreigners were put up in an international school with beds and internet connections, while Thais were left to sleep outside. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra responded to the criticism, saying: "Obviously we have to look after the foreigners but our priority now will be to help Thais find shelter. "They are under a lot of stress and strain, sleeping in temporary shelters." However he also vowed to help rehabilitate tourism, one of Thailand's biggest money earners.
