Enough is Enough.
Tourist ghettos no more, I am done with them, the tourists (especially you know who) are destroying this beautiful country with their terrible manners, unruly kids and general disregard for others around them and the environment. I need some new scenery or I am going to go mad (if I haven't already reached that point)..
I would like to enlist the help of fellow AN members in asking where do you recommend I go with the following stipulations:
1. Hardly any farangs in sight, especially tourists.
2. Remote places, can be mountainous, towns, city, beach, jungle, whatever.
3. Reasonable food
4. Reasonable room rates
5. Real local people, no tourist BS.
I welcome any and all input into this topic. Finally the tourist ghettos have worn me down - it took a while but it has finally happened. Now I understand Joe who retires way out in the sticks on a nice plot of land and a couple water buffalo with his young thai bride. There is something real in that kind of life that the ghetto just cannot provide.
Wherever the tourists are going this high season, I'm not. I want a comprehensive list of places that are truly off the beaten track.
Thank you in advance!
