The funny part is that wormyguy and all the other rich-worshipers never complain that the holiday havens are chock-a-block with the owning class year round. Guys, you have to understand that it is the rich who are 'taking your money' for pleasure-trips, not the poor.
(one would think this would be obvious, but they're blinded by their worship of power).
Are there any non-rich ex-pats in Thailand? I just realized it's probably not that difficult to live there long-term or expensive and even non-riches can save up the money.
