Why is Thailand so eager to promote the "entertainment complex"? Merely looking at this action is not enough to explain the severity of the issue. Thailand has always been laid-back and Buddhist in nature, acting only when it senses an unavoidable signal.

Therefore, the significant push in October of this year only indicates that Thailand has already started to take precautions.
