The taxi mafia will be pleased with that result.

129 million? So many stupid people, rushing around like nutter won't make you any happier. Whoever said 'travel broadens the mind' was lying. Fools.

It does potentially broaden the mind, but not if you're only flying between Bangkok and Udonthani five times a year; or fly in from Europe or North America to spend 2 weeks in the confines of a tourist ghetto, woefully clueless because you didn't bother to read up on your destination.
