Well said. I want white lines painted on dangerous roads. I'm thinking of hiring a Thai person to paint some lines around my area. If you want something done then do it. As they say. Btw. What's the new tech way of marking lines. How about epoxy down thin strips on to the tar. Or heat treatment them into place.

A news item yesterday place Thailand #4 in SE Asia as a tourist destination. Confusion? don't think so; it is solely up to the magazine scribblers to invent percentages, places, people - it all depends on the back cheques...

On the screen was a promotion of Thai islands there were images of the islands one by one happy beautiful sun drenched people frolicking on the beaches a minute or two on each Isle, however when that infamous name Koh Tao appeared it showed a beach the island and then the show quickly moved on, the very brief view of Koh Tao was noticeable, wonder Why?

I have come to the conclusion it is an internet thing like the facebook and Instagram and internet dating services. Partly it is fellows who get scammed by Thai girls online and form a negative view of the country as a result and for the others you'd have to ask whoever knows about internet farming. Quote Incredible, so many Thai(land) hate comments. Do you guys actually live here? And if so, why stay around in a place that you despise so much? It's not an 'internet thing'.

connda Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) 6 hours ago, webfact said: after Thailand was voted the world’s best country for people. Really? 6 hours ago, webfact said: In the category of best countries in the world for tourism, Thailand came in at number 3, behind Italy and Greece. It seems the wording was manipulated, e.g.,: .....after Thailand was voted the world’s best country for people. No .....after Thailand was voted the world’s 3rd place runner up for best country for people. Nope .....after Thailand was voted the world’s 3rd place runner up for best country for tourism. Perhaps this is true? Ok So why promote the 'false' news? "We're the best!!!" No you're not. Unlike being the best country at killing people on your roads (truly Number 1 / 100 % quantifiable) you're only 3rd place (unquantifiable / somebodies opinion) according to one specific travel magazine. Do all other travel magazines and world travel agencies concur? Probably not. Inaccurate and disingenuous, such as changing reality and then tooting your own horn, is not honest. Actually it's beyond disingenuous, it patently false <Opss!>. Screen shot from article published by CNTraveler for "Best Country" ranking as reported by USNews. Let see... 1 + 3 = 27 That's about right. Edited September 10, 2018 by connda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys have a bad relationship history in the West and bring it to Thailand with them and are surprised and blame it on the country. I'm also guilty.

Popular Post connda Posted September 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've been on the Conde Nast Traveler and I can't find Thailand in any of the 'Top' or "Best of" categories of anything in 2018 or 2017. I may just be missing it. If someone find the link that the good PM and The National New Bureau are referring to, for the sake of clarity, can someone post it so we all can see what is being referred to? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not heard of Conde Nast Traveler based in US until I read this article. Looked it up and a NY company since 1901. Learn something New everyday. I Interesting BEST AMERICAN & CARIBBEAN HOTEL is Los Cabo’s Mexico. Maybe in reference to North America. An article in Condé Nast when going to the “ The Best Country for People” funny fact given by CN the official name of Bangkok which is really long or for short “Krung Thep” short for City of Angels. Notes - good shopping and cheap designer looking labels (strange to advertise knock offs) - Great Food which we can’t deny. Surveys are Surveys and information depends how it’s gathered. Couldn’t find what criteria was used but at least it makes some people happy! For me I like Thailand and enjoy living here. If your happy living here...Great. If you’re not happy get up and go.

They are criticisms of the military junta and the leader who appointed himself. And the impositions they impose upon the freedoms of Thai people and others who have chosen to call Thailand "home".
