I don't think I could add anymore to this perfectly stated post on the Iran menace from the last 47 years.

I was thinking something similar as well. too bad Monty Python is no longer around!

I am far from being anti Semitic, but since we are on the topic of Israelis. let's not pretend they are behaving any better than any other tourists in LOS. Anti-Israel sentiment flares in Thailand, aided by misinformation - Nikkei Asia Thai locals say Israeli tourists unwelcome amid exploitation, security fears | Arab News ‘Israelis ruined Thailand’: viral TikTok videos spark fierce debate over tourist beha Thailand cracks down on Israeli tourists | The Jerusalem Post

So very glad I purchased tickets for summer travel months ago.

Thai women are among the most with plastic surgeries in SEA and nose surgeries are the top of that list.

Ugandan prostitutes and Israeli tourist. the new " quality tourists" in Thailand. enjoy TAT!

oh yes, its all about the ex pat community isn't it?? the same community that is around 150k in a country of 70 million!! how generous of you to take the time to mentioned the millions of lives affected by the loss of revenue.

the condition only last a a few more times after visiting LOS.

Viet Nam doesn't have silly and outdated laws prohibiting alcohol sales for any holidays, festivals or observances, religious or likewise. Practitioners of Buddhism ( Mahayana to be exact with a Theravada minority) are free to celebrate with or without alcohol.

oh I'm sure the UN is so much better at solving disputes.

replace Japan with Mexico who is missing from the list which makes it a laughable and egregious to begin with!! New Zealand, Maldives and Sri Lanka??? 🤣

Vietnam - Between communism and capitalism | DW Documentary Fast forward to the 29:06 mark. the difference between VN and Thailand is very evident.

you can say the same thing regarding most Asian countries, but why does it seemed that Thailand is hindered with these cultural norms??

at least Viet Nam doesn't claim to be a democratic country and spout about " fair elections".

Viet Nam has ambitious plans for its future economic growth and development. Tourism is a nice niche, but unlike Thailand, Vietnam's economy is driven by three main sectors: Services (~43% GDP), Industry/Manufacturing (~37% GDP), and Agriculture (~11% GDP). Key growth drivers include electronics, textiles, footwear, and agriculture (rice, coffee, seafood). The manufacturing sector is a major recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI). Viet Nam has a thriving craft beer industry and the local beer companies do not have a monopoly unlike Thailand. An insight into Vietnam's booming craft beer culture 2021 — Jovel Chan

Why Vietnam’s Airport Is a Threat to Asia’s Biggest Hubs

this could be Viet Nam's tourism slogan!!😉

Long Thanh will be open in two years' time and will become the crown jewel airport in the region.

honestly, there is way too many Japanese restaurants as it it! sometimes I think there are more Japanese food available than Thai eateries in LOS.

this is a funny statement, but painfully true!!

many Thai apologists hate this fact.

You have sum up quite nicely the Viet mentality in this paragraph alone. This is one the driving forces that has propelled the rising Vietnamese economy in the last decade and one of the reasons Thailand should be very concerned about.

quality tourists?? how does one measure that??

they should trust him since he doesn't dye his hair! 🤣

He may not be an ethnic Khmer, but he is closer in blood to them than he is Thai. He was born in Surin Province ( former Khmer territory) and has clarified multiple times that he is a Thai citizen of the ethnic Kui/ Kuoy descent. The Kui people speak a Mon-Khmer language belonging to the Austroasiatic family which includes Viet and Khmer and numerous other languages spread throughout SE Asia. While the Kui people have historical roots that trace across the border regions of Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, Buakaw has emphasized that their cultural identity and ties are firmly embedded in Thai history. So there you have it. And speaking of Kui/ Kuoy descent, Tony Jaa also from Surin has the same lineage as Buakaw. Aside from their fame as elephant trainers, they are renowned for their martial skills.
