Well I sort of agree with you but, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_France In 2018 most of the tourists came from countries bordering France so the cost to visit would cost less than an air ticket to Thailand. In fact a family of 4 could all travel in one car and the cost would be far less than 4 tickets to Thailand. In the first part only the USA would have large travel costs. Number of stays In 2019, tourists from the following countries spent the most nights in France: It seems as though 8 out of 10 countries here neighbour France once again.

Some democratically elected leaders soon act like dictators. No accountability, corrupt, nepotism, and and and. Democracy would be wonderful with educated well informed voters. That is unfortunately not reality in Thailand - and many other countries. What you really mean, as indicated by your all too frequent observations here, is that democracy is only acceptable if it results in a government of which you approve. Since the Thai electorate consistently choose a government of which you disapprove, then you do not consider them to be worthy of democracy. Frankly it shows the contempt with which you hold both the Thai electorate and the ideal of democratic government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, obviously it's better to live under the generals that keep the masses uninformed so that they can rule in perpetuity..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
