Rescue from Above
Business in Thailand is a mirror of America only more dire. No tourists. No jobs in hotels, restaurants, or bars. The villages are repopulated by returnees from Bangkok and the resort areas. Many Thais think that Thaksin can right the situation within hours of his return. They obviously have little grasp of the economic disaster constricting trade around the world. Even neither do the media experts such as Reuters who have touted the possible arrival of megaships from Israel to stem the downward slide.
Big ships need big cargoes.
Simple math until discounting that big ships buy at cheap rates especially when owned by Israelis.
Better for the Thais to look to the stars and call down UFOs to take the place of the disappearing farangs. Maybe they'll be suckers for the 'sick buffalo' story too.
