Thailand is seriously chaotic got a bad feeling. :(
Revival Thailand!

I bet everyone played broken telephone before ; when 1 message is passed down through N number of people before it reaches you. The message usually is distorted despite the time duration being so short (supposedly retention of the message would be better compared to the message conveyed over several weeks or even months)

Broken Telephone is a super good illustration that humans generally are not very good messengers ( selective listening? biasness? personal judgement involved? poor memory? unable to capture fully the complexity of the message? distort to suits one preference?)

In real life, BROKEN TELEPHONES are everywhere.
somehow all of us played a role in it as well whether we know it or not.
The result can be unimaginable.
It just remind me to exercise discernment when hearing NOT from a first party account.
