RustBucket Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well the Thais always seem to think a flood is a great event. I can remember the 2010 floods in Korat, their homes were washed with a meter of stinky water and they all seemed to think it was all a bit of fun. I didn't.

borrfors Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well RustBucket, I think you are very wrong. The majority of the Thai people who get their homes ruined by flooding isn´t so amused as you say. I think your comment smells rasism in a large scale.
