i didnt bother reading the website. but anyone willing to go to phuket, and spend money shouldnt be critisized. now are they patting themselfs on the back, maybe but oh well. one thing you have to understand is that the american media has focused on thailand, phuket to be specific, and grouped it wioth indonesia and sri lanka. so people in america have this image of a devasted area that they are heading to, when in fact, alot the area, 85%, is perfectly fine. it all has to do with politics, and since the us has a greta diplomatic relationship with thailand, and alot of foreigners died in phuket, thats what the media has focused on
