Paul,

Thanks.  You nailed it.  I am quite sure they do complain about those "immigrants who do not learn our ways and respect our culture!"  (And suggest they should "go back where they came from")

You know, every silver lining needs a cloud, and sadly, this type is over represented in Thai Forum.  Finding fault with everyone and everything Thai.  It does make one wonder why they continue to live here.  They could go back to the heavenly West, or even cross the Asian borders to greener pastures.  

According to them, Thailand is unique, and is the only place where accidents happen, natural disasters occur, and politicians stretch the truth.  Can you imagine what it would be like if peaceful protesters here were pepper sprayed, shot with rubber bullets and beaten with riot batons?  Can you imagine the uproar if Thai politicians suggested building an electrified fence along the border?  Can you imagine a the commentary if Thailand had to declare bankruptcy and beg the EU for a country wide bail out?

I could go on and on... I mean, there are heavily regulated companies all over the West who still screw up and cause loss of life...how we believe we can 100% of the time control the outcome of riding an animal the size of a house is beyond me.  sadly, this was a freak fall, much like people who fall getting out of the shower.  She was on a  adventure to a country she loved, and it is sad to lose a person who was "busy living."  Perhaps some people might think about that, count their blessings and enjoy the positive side of Thailand, and life in general.

Seconded. Did they really blame the husband?

The re-assignment of blame and in-ability to take any responsibility here whatsoever knows no bounds.

Amazing Thailand yet again.

RIP and condolences.
