For a report on how it goes for Tamil refugees in Thailand, click on the underlined link in my post. I'm not saying your point is incorrect, but I've never read anything to that effect. Places like Thailand or Indonesia (where an Aussie drug smuggler faces the firing squad shortly) aren't the holiday hotspots for refugees that they are for rich tourists.
