this is a reflection of thai society in many ways. some people here do in fact, want a solutions based approach to life. they see problems and solutions intertwined, and look for ways to change life as to fix problems.

sadly, many thai people dont think like this. they are reflexive and simply like the drama of a pointing the finger first approach. politicians dont help mitigate this, as this mentality can be easily manipulated for their own gain.

the cultural trait of thais, to not speak up, to have sacred taboos, is one that clashes directly against solution-based thinking. it challenges the status quo, and thats disturbing for those who hold onto beliefs that themselves, clash with reality.

shes meeting with the bigwigs to tell them that this manmade catastrophe wont happen again.

dismay coming from investors who learned about the dam water levels. it could have been prevented and its disrupted global business. "yingluck," they will say, "do you guys want us all to leave? give us reassurances that a single dipstick wont be able to do this again."
