This is very true..I have said the same myself on many occasion..Have to say a tiny part of me is happy coz it will keep the British lout tourists away, they generally choose Thailand rather than Phillippines anway.
I bet you the tourist board is really pissed and they should complain to the BBC as this type of TV is damaging.
I was a bit worried that the protests in the Thai airports would drive more tourism here but thank God that hasn`t happened.
