    • AdoptingThai commented : First, I must apologize for my fellow Americans who have behaved badly. Because so many tourists visit the United States, I understand how tourists can be rude, ignorant, and show a lack of respect. I also believe that the good far out weighs the bad. Tourists learn about the culture of the place they visit. I am looking forward to learning more about the Thai culture, because of our adoption of an orphan boy. It is important to us that our son keep and remember his Thai culture. We also want to help him keep his native language. We have heard nothing but positive things about how friendly and kind the Thai people are. I have one major concern. I am wondering because of the recent demonstrations how dangerous is it to be in Bangkok. My wife and I are adopting a Thai boy within the next week, and must visit government agencies to complete the adoption. I am concerned about the civil unrest, and hope the two side involved can come to a peaceful resolution.
