suck it up

Having your own opinion is forbidden in Thailand. That’s a fact.
I was thinking about creating a user review web site in Thailand, but I now realized that I would face a lot of problems, the biggest one being the one I mentioned above.
That and a “that’s OK” attitude.

If I say something bad about one of the Thai pop icon (or any beloved anything), half of the Thais would just turn away from me, the other half would condemn me to the end of the world. Maybe there’re a few who agree with me, but that’s about it. I can’t really expect them to speak up and support my idea, because they don’t want any trouble.

I just have to suck it up and say, “That’s OK.”
