There is sadness abound in Thailand.
The earthquake is a solemn reminder that horrible things can happen, even in Thailand.
We can ask ourselves why 1000 times, but we will never get an answer that comforts us.
Much like the Tsunami in 2004, it is going to take time to get over the pain and loss.
Thailand unfortunately does not offer any safeguards from natural disasters.
It is best to understand these things can happen anywhere in the world.
There is a lot to learn about living in the third world.
Maybe you think Thailand is perfect, however, the more you learn the more you can safeguard yourself and your loved ones.
Very soon the streets will be filled with international revelers for Songkran.
We should not forget those lost quite so quickly.
After all they are Thai, same as you and me.
Loss of innocent lives is very sad but a part of life and reality, even in Thailand.
We can only pray and hope.
