No one ever said life was fair and a Thai court proved this axiom to the max by sentencing 50 Burmese survivors of the Ranong death truck to two-months in prison before deportation to their impoverished nation. The 14 child immigrants have already been repatriated out of Thailand. The lorry driver is still on the run and the truck owner out on bail. Compassion seems to have taken a vacation for this Songkran holiday and justice view this incident with a blind eye.
The Buddha is reported to have said that life is suffering, however this statement is a myth, for the Enlightened One actually proposed four truths about this earthly existence; there is suffering, a cause for suffering, an end to suffering, and a path to end suffering.
Obviously the road to Phuket is not part of that path.
