Thailand Aims to Woo Elite Tourists Amidst Regional Rivalry
Admittedly, the air-quality is sometimes worse than other area's of the world, but it is also often no worse. A quick look shows at the moment the Air-Quality in Bangkok is only slightly higher than that of London and Paris - other cities will be cleaner, many others worse. But, to suggest Air-Quality might be a deciding factor (for most) is flawed - just look at the amount of extremely wealthy people who live in LA. And.....Thailand does most certainly not only serve the middle and lower end tourism market - you are just unaware of the higher end of the tourism market. These sweeping generalisation of what the wealthy get up to are ridiculous - just like anyone else people have their preferences and dislikes - some wont find Thailand an attractive option, while others find it an amazing choice and thats why Thailand caters to a full range of visitors from back-packers to the ultra wealthy (which for some reason are being called 'Elite' in this thread). Not that I agree that Thailand is going to be successful in their aims, but rich people would probably happily stay in a luxury resort with private beaches. They would be getting the white sandy beach and tropical weather, along with Thai hospitality, without much of the inconveniences that lower market tourists tolerate. They're also not averse to "slumming it" when the mood takes them, before hopping into a taxi to their exclusive hotel. (The rich can straddle both worlds, the poor cannot.) -

Try reading my other posts in that particular string to see just how mistaken you are. Before you then go onto recall what a common belief among bigots are. -

If I understand your comment correctly, you endorse the notion that children or grandhildren or great grandchildren of collaborators should be discriminated against? As I recall, a common belief among bigots is that Jews should be held responsible for the death of Jesus even though the alleged crime took place long ago. You really want to endorse the concept of inherited guilt? -

American on Dirt Bike Kills Thai Woman Crossing Road in Chiang Mai
I don't think you get out much, as all your posting, trying to make the bike look like it's not roadworthy or too loud, has been disproved a few times already, and if you do get outside more, you would surely see locals driving very loud bikes of all types, daily, on any road you can find. I live 300 meters from the main road, and i still hear bikes going down the road from here, loud. Waiting for a pickup on that main road, at least 3 went by yesterday, very loud bikes with modified exhaust just for that reason. I've been hearing and seeing these bikes all the time I've lived here. It's what teens do, as well as older boys. Whatever the legal limit is, I never see anything done about it, as these bikes pass police all day long and they do nothing. -
