Thanks for the heads up Seeker

I did get carried away like Mike said before the booklet was even drafted. I do agree that there is a serious farang problem in Thailand. But I agree that the problem they are accusing the farang of is a problem that persists possibly just as much nationally.

I define international coverage as being on CNN & BBC. The only mention of the booklet or any education even in the Thai news websites is simply this booklet. Nothing is said of how the internal problems are addressed. Much like a dismissal, sure locals have access to the news for the national issues, but nothing is mentioned on how these things are 'handled' in regards to prevention. Simply an 'after the fact' here is what happened news story. Like I said before if they wanted to educate the farang why do they put it into the Thai papers(if not a blame purpose) rather than the international travel magazines that this grand idea is in the making?
