We are sorry and did not know the political situation of these refugees in this region. We know now that these people cannot really leave this camp, and that in Myanmar they were
really being abused, and murdered. I meant no harm at the time.
Not the most respectful representation or delivery to that girl. Its not all about fun and games, its having respect and learning other traditions or culture, what is the point of going then.
They don't have a change at all...they were put in a village and can't leave! The only money they earn is from tourist who buy souvenirs at their shop.
They wear the rings because it is tradition and they think it is beautifull.
My boyfriend is from this Padong tribe...he told me everything about how they were treathed...discusting!
Your comments are very well taken. You are so right. I am an a**hole. Truthfully, when we visited, we did not know then what we know now. Just days ago we saw a program on TV about the mistreatment of the Myamar refuges, and how they are put on an island and left without proper treatment.
We were appalled. We deeply regret the lack of sensitivity we exhibited.t.
It was an incredible experience. It's just my tongue-in-cheek nature. . I'm sorry if I've offended you.
This reporter sounds so cynical it is disgusting ! Who does he think he is? Unfortunately assholes like this misrepresent America. Was he making fun of the 15 Y/O telling her she would be a movie star.. I am but it sounds like a douche bag to me... Awesome subject terrible delivery!
can someone tell me why do they put that thing on their necks? dont tell me that im dumb for not knowing that,but im just curious bout it. so please tell me why
What a shame you have travelled all that way to suggest someone becomes a "movie star" because they are "pretty" - on reflection, does this not seem a little shallow ?
Lighten up and have a laugh. Wherever we go, nothing we do harms anybody, our intentions are for just having fun with people (and not at their expense).
Really? Don't you think that by saying that you could be giving false hope to a 15 year old girl? Besides, you may think that you not 'harming" anyone, because they do not have a computer or a lawyer who could sue your ass, and are helpless and full of good intention to let people like you film them and expose them as you please. Yeah Right CHAMP!! Why don't you go talk shit about Martin Luther King in the middle of African-American rights parade?

Some of these people speak or understand another language. I wonder how is that possible? Do they get a lot of tourists?
