It has always been a big question mark for me... Buddhism does not explain all. Not only Thailand is Buddhist but it is only in Thailand that you can see that huge proportion of ladyboys. There must be some rational explanations. Food might be one. More exactly food poisoning with all the chemicals and pesticides they use here...

But in all cases, I believe Thailand is the only country in the World with this huge proportion of ladyboys and transgenders.

The only thing they will monitor is the money in their pocket and the number of bottles of whisky...

I bet that after the 7 days it will be back to normal. Business as usual. Let's get an update in 6 months. Take a picture now and in 6 months...

And when you start to understand that the whole country is like this... ALL about appearances... For everything... With a smile. Scary in fact.

No usual bashing here. Think seriously about it...

Thirsty Thai Scam Tourism

In Thailand this is not "Safety First" but "Cosmetics First"... By the way I thought that Prostitution was illegal in Thailand???

I think the post should read 'why do tv members come to Thailand". most tourists do not come to have sex with the girls/boys

You are probably Thai, trying to find an excuse not to see the reality... I bet that if you make a poll worldwide about the first word that comes into mind about Thailand, the result will "sex or entertainment". Make no mistake, do not be blind... That's also the main but hidden reason why Thailand is the best place for convention, exhibition, regional meetings etc...

For the rest, the Nature has been destroyed and going down the hill. Cheap and tasty food made with chemicals, pesticides. Welcome in TIT, enjoy! If the Government is a minimum serious about Quality Tourism, the first thing they should do is curbing the sex industry. But it will not happen, only smoke screens, BS and corruption.

Legal means owned by a Thai, illegal means owned by a Farang. Hey isn't it the definition of Thainess?

Koh Tao, the Island of Death

Is it only me, or is this guy losing it by the minute??

Why is he loosing it?

He is only concerned that more revenue comes in Thailand for the good of his country.

Even you, should be able to understand this.

Sure. We understand. Money First. Quality Tourists. Thailand the hub of happiness. Yes we understand.

Is it to replace the gone Russian tourists?!?!? o_O

Thailand, the hub of Indian weddings...

Thailand, the hub of failed statements. Note, that's not a new hub. It exists for a long time.

Ignorance and/or stupidity, it only shows the extremely low level of Education in Thailand. At this level, it is really scary.

TL is still a developing country. Contrast this to Japan, an advanced economy. A lot of it's students don't know jack about the atrocities committed by it's military during WW2 in China, Korea and other parts of East/Southeast Asia.

Without disrespect, I do not know if you are Thai, but every time we criticize Thailand or Thai people, they find an excuse... Yes there are bus accidents in other countries, yes there are corruption in other countries, yes democracy is far from being perfect in the west and yes Japanese students might not know what atrocities did their soldiers. Please, please, please, enough of these diversions. We are talking about Thailand here. For having many years experience in Thailand, I sadly see the country going down the hill in many aspects. One of the reason is to always find an excuse or an escape to avoid criticism and then avoid the need for improvement.

Having said that, I am not sure that the use of Hitler and/or Nazi signs in Thailand is that innocent or only linked to poor knowledge or education It might be again an excuse to escape from the outrage caused. Thailand is very well known for its Ultranationalism and we all know that people consider themselves superior to their neighboring counties. Add to this a cult for uniforms and the admiration for the Army... A+B+C+D = it does not look so innocent, isn't it?

Thailand is the 2nd deadliest country in the world for number of deaths on the roads for many good reasons. Soon they will be proud to be the first, then they can claim to be the Hub of deadliest roads.

Just a matter of time

Have you ever looked at why Thailand has so many road deaths ? Probably not.

I will tell you why.

Consistently over 70% of road deaths in this country involve motorbikes, one year it was up to 78%, go look it up.

The high number of motorbike and the bad and underage riders with no helmets are what gets the stats so high.

Mind you the crash master vans are doing a good job of helping.

I avoid them as much as I can for while there are some very good drivers there are others who seem to think because they are still alive they are good drivers and they would be wrong.

Don't know how much good complaining to the company would do but I would imagine this particular fella will be getting a good bollocking from his boss, if he still has a job.

Where did you get that stat? I checked and in 2011 Thailand was number 6.

Did it really change that much in 3 years?
