100 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Holiday in Thailand

Post by GLCQuantum »

While writing another post, this came to me. I'll start the ball rolling with 10 off the top of my head.

1: Beer is cheaper in other Asian countries.

Image

2: The best scuba diving spots are to be had in Taiwan.

Image]

3. Thailand has the 2nd most dangerous roads in the world.

Image

4: Thailand has no regulation on over-fishing so... when you are eating that fish by the beach you may be contributing to the death of that species as it has probably been fished illegally.

Image

5: The education in Thailand is South East Asia's worst so, unfortunately, few speak English.

Image

6: There is no democracy, money rules first - the military second.

Image

7: The women are more beautiful in Cambodia. :wink:

Image

8: Getting a visa here is becoming harder. Getting a visa in other Asian countries is getting easier.

Image

9: You will always be looked down upon in Thailand. "You are a Westerner - You know nothing".

Image

10: Being a ladyboy in Thailand is considered 'trendy'.

Image

:cheers:

While 2 and 7 will be argued by some, there's a lot of truthful statements there. As for 1, the beer is not only cheaper in Laos, it's better too! :cheers:

Beer is also cheaper in Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma and the Philippines.

Diving is also better in the Philippines as is number 7. :oops:

Some very valid points there.

A lot of anti-Thai(land) crap!

Well, Thais do not slaughter & eat dogs, unlike their Asian neighbours!

You can get mugged in every major city of this world in the wee hours! etc., etc.

I'd love to be able to live in a little bubble. People that can, are usually fairly happy.

Number 12: Thailand's dog meat trade.

WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT



13: Thailand's street dog problem. Thai's don't know how to take care of dogs and... like an old rug... will throw them on the side of the street when they've had enough of them.
