What makes Thailand so unique?

Did you cut it off?

 

No, it just sort of... ceased to dominate my life to the extend that I remember when I was 16. Probably a body clock thing.

 

In any event, it's still useful on occasion. I suppose the way to fix it, if I was sufficiently interested, would be to grow a pot belly and go live in Pattaya.

Big P and small p? Nope, those 2 clowns sink the unique boat. 

 

Is that on account of genius being rare but stupid being available everywhere - making them just common-or-garden oafs?

1. The best English speaking people on this planet live in Isaan and work as English teachers, usually at government schools.

2. People here never lie. ( They could lose face if they did.) Anyway, it's better if you don't know all.

3. Thailand must have the most balcony bungee jumping activities in the world.

4. All Thai girls and women love us, foreigners, too much.

5. The educational system is so good that not even one students yet failed in 250 years. Bamboo sticks are used to have more fun in learning how to march.

In the beginning, there's only the educational hub, then the medical, now the article 4 hub of a little, unsatisfied and mentally underdeveloped soldier.

7. The former so skinny and sooo ugly girls become bigger and softer and rounder and rounder. like the American counterparts. And we can save a lot of money for pillows. 

8. You can live here over 20 years, and they still let you do all the fun stuff to get another visa and work permit for another year in paradise with more and more documents that are fun to fill out. 

9. Prizes of almost all have skyrocketed, but good luck that we don't have the burden to have too much money. 

10. Only foreigners are allowed to pay more to get into a national park, a swimming pool, or a morgue. 

11. A joke's hunting us, too many people now try to move around to feel safe.

12. There's so much Formalin in squid and some meat that we can use it for free, should something happen to us, or a relative. 

13. People who told you to fix something at your house turn up a month later to give you more time to enjoy this country. 

14. We may build houses for ten different Thai women at the same time, but if they tell us that we are not allowed on their land, we can't go into our houses and don't see them with their brothers in, or on our beds.

15. The beauties here don't care if we are old, fat, ugly, stupid and bold. They love us how we are. 

Oops, I think it's time to stop here before P. visits me with TAT.

What makes it so unique? Their willingness to pimp out the country and it's inhabitants to the highest bidder. It's nice to play a colonial lord, ask the Chinese if you don't believe.

Military coup, hardly - a friendly pre-arranged take-over, commonly referred to as rearranging the Titanic deck-chairs.  

Aah but which coup. Started coming here in 83, plenty to choose from.

[H508]

I've been to Thailand 4 times in the last two year and have visited 14 different provinces (most throughout Issan). Those 2 videos do not inspire me to visit those places at all. As a direct focus of those advertisements, I have to say TAT failed miserably in their campaign... Decent drone footage, horrible text overlay, uninspired stories.

It's probably an age thing but I haven't used my dick for thinking with for such a long time. It's quite liberating really, the whole world is half full of men responding only to whichever hormone drives them to stick their dick in all sorts of dank places, and then there's me scoffing at the lot of them for being slaves to their perpetuation instincts. Even my dog can do that and he's a really stupid dog...

 

 

Depends on your point of view. No perpetuation instincts (shudder ), just enjoy healthy recreation.

[baansgr]

Every country in the World is unique in its own way and what it has to offer to visitors.

[cms22]

Thai Girls. Unique

[JohnOFphon]

Horny Thai girls.

[Black arab]

For me its the way the thais think so far removed from the west.I dont think we falangs can ever truly understand their way of thinking.

Apart from Americans I have never met a people that is so convinced of its own special uniqueness which elevates them over everybody else.

Of course in the case of Americans it is true.

[tagalong]

Rubbish...Yes!  Rubbish....Everywhere...Thrown out of cars, buses, cycles...It is a bloody disgrace their attitude to the rubbish problem...

You need to get out more. Koreans are unbelievably nationalistic and will go on for hours about their amazing country and culture. Oh, and don't forget the Brits who bring arrogance to a whole new level. Wow, bashing other nationalities is easy and fun. Thanks for turning me on to this mindless way of thinking.

For me, the incredible flavers of foods, and everytime I came, I always met new fruits and veggies I had never seen before. The beaches, mountains, elephants, 4 wheel riding, white waker rafting, Island hoping, snorkling, ect. The women were beautiful and kind..I found a good wife. That was for me "Amazing Thailand" . Now thats all gone. Its been replaced with pedofiles, prostitutes, criminals, corruption, ect. So long Once Beautiful Thailand! You have been hijacked by the "Low lifes".

Just my opinion.....

The latter came well before any of the rafting, 4wheel driving ect

What makes Thailand unique...nothing worth noting

[JAG]

Uniqueness is overrated. 

Yes, it is only a "one off"!

Phew, that's a relief. Thia exceptionalism is OK because other nations have drones who think 'they're; better than anyone else too. I have an acquaintance who has lung cancer. I can't wait to rush to the hospital and tell him it's all OK because someone in Korea, or UK has it as well, so not to worry.

 

Mindless thinking is like any other character trait, you need to have a talent for it for it to be useful.

Unique is only useful if it's good unique. More Thai women are fat and ugly than are slim and beautiful. Go to Isaan and see the ones who didn't or couldn't sell themselves in Pattaya or Bangkok. Ack!

Ir was a euphemism. Nothing healthy about AIDS or STD, or having to wear a condom because you don't trust the women to be clean.

 

Perhaps I'm just old.

First realistic answer in this thread. Well done.

[smew]

Unique is filthy beaches, garbage everywhere in ditches, jet ski ripoffs, price ripoff because we are visitors, angry and vicious people if you disagree with them, lies and more lies.

No, but then I don't have a line of fat elderly farangs telling everyone how beautiful and unique I am.

True, it's a part of the human condition. But it is like custard - it's lumpy. If you go to USA or Thailand you get more lumps.
