Being fooled by Thai charm the result of a rare western intelligence gene deficiency?
Many millions of westerners have visited Thailand on vacation, yet only a tiny percentage of those have subsequently dumped their life and tried to emigrate there.
It seems to me that nearly every westerner I meet living in Thailand is enchanted by "Thai charm" to the extent that it has made them dislike their birth country enough to walk away.
So what is it that attracts these westerners to a population which, lets face it, is lazy, primitive, corrupt, and which gets by on bullshit over substance?
