All night I kept waking every hour or so afraid to miss my flight to Manila. An intelligent person would rely upon a wake up call but then I have never taken the easy route. Finally, at just before 11AM I jumped out of bed fearful of missing my 130PM flight. I had the hotel call a courtesy van and climbed in amidst Aussie twAts who had spent their parents money to take in Full Moon and Half Moon PArties. After listening to their bullshite for a few minutes I turned nasty and asked them why they had even botheted coming to Thailand. I explained that those fake-arse parties are used to fund the rape and murder of hundreds of civikaibs each month in the Pattani Sultanate.
Thailand does a magnificient job at obscuring the mayhem and murder that it inflicts while marketing itself as a tourist's dream. The OFFICIAL body count is close to 400 civilains each month (read: more or less 1,200 in reality). Pattani is an ancient Sultanate of ethnic Malayans, Muslims, who have been under Thai Occupation since independence). The shite taking place there, on both sides, would without a doubt make most of you lose your lunch. The corny parties that were fully commercialised 2 decades ago are used to fund paramilitary violence.
Meanwhile, up north, in Mae Sot for example, Karini Tribesmen are slaughtered on a daily basis by Myanmar. The Thai keep tens of thousands of Karini penned in like cattle in unofficial refugee camps where they are denied the most basic of services. Yet here were these 20-something dickheads bragging about parties. I should not be so hard on them but it taxes my patience listening to that drivel and well, you get the point...
