Re: Dana’s response to “Just a question of time” (PM Mailbag Friday, 25 January 2013) – Editor, this is not meant as a personal attack but rather me sticking up for a country that has allowed me to live here for over 20 years. I travel on Thai Air Inter in and out of Thailand and would put them streets ahead of American Airlines both in service and safety. So who services all the other airplanes flying about? Since when has Thailand, China, Malaya, Singapore been 3rd world countries? I’m sure they are not lining up to have their services done on America. Thai’s Auto industry is 1st class and exports vehicles and components world wide. Thailand is one of Australia’s highest trading partners. I have had 3 major operations in Thailand, one of them caused by a farang driving a motorbike on the wrong side of the road. Did he stop and help? No. I was transported to hospital by a Thai shop owner. This third world citizen asked nothing for his compassion. I could go on and on about what a great place this is. I feel sorry for the Polish woman killed at the Beach. But I believe it was not a jet ski it was a speed boat and she was swimming outside the designated area.
