Beginning to make me nauseous the amount of times Thailand and places in it are supposedly  voted high in polls during the times that nobody is visiting, banned from visiting or made it near impossible to visit as a genuine tourist.

I googled the mag as I'd never heard of it... oh, luxury market, guess that explains it... Says it puts out about 32,700 copies a month, so if you hand around a bit I suppose that would add up to 122,000 readers... ????
