In some villages I've seen the signs burnt or painted over (chiang Mao this is). Many are upset that PTP and reds have no lived up to expectations and their cheating laid bare

Chief gripe being they get paid less for their vegetables but all life's essentials have become more expensive

In all the "redshirt villages" I have passed through many many houses and businesses display the king flags. Not many red flags on houses but many next from the street with signs with Thsksins smug cheating face on it. It looks more like a small group of locals apply for red village status so as to get the "funding" from on high but actually it doesn't mean any much percent of villagers are fervent red zombies. Just a minority trying to impose its self on the majority- the complete opposite of their stated aim of democracy.

I could understand if you have problems moving at pace or are half blind or something; but otherwise.....
Come on; seriously? You can't cross the street on your own or walk around the town without bumping in to things?
Its quite funny in a way. Would make a great sketch character. Like Mr Bean. Endless thai situation comedy senarios for a hapless Falang character.
But more seriously, this really does show how unaware  western, and especially American, bred people are. Even in London I see tourists standing waiting for the little green man like zombies when there's plenty opportunity to cross- holding up people with a place to get to who are actually capable of judging speeds and distances, Bloody annoying.
