That's a great article, because it is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious, like the best comedy horror movies. Terrifying because the abuses of power you describe are so rampant that businesses are precariously always at the risk of losing everything, but equally hilarious because there is a keystone cops ineptitude to each and every corrupt act.

Less frightening than infuriating is the fraud of fellow businesses, copying everything you say you offer, but in fact offering none of it, but it's a hoot to hear that such brazenness even exists.

It's when the police come calling with all the made-up audits and phony licenses that things get scarily 1984. I know I'd lose a lot of sleep over crap like that, and the many laughs I'd have, over misspelled demands, phony licenses and government computers running unauthorized copies of Windows, would still never make up for the hell of existing in this system.

It upsets me to realize that most people are trapped by this, and can never escape it. You correctly describe it as a poison in Thailand's veins, and I hope one day they find the antidote.

I do know that a hilarious movie could be made about your hotel years, with James Franco playing you, Seth Rogen playing your business partner, and Kenny Jeong as the Chief of Police. Adam Sandler could play a guest at the hotel. ;)
