How naive and stupid to think most people come here for sex.  I guess these idiots also think all Thai girls are prostitutes.

Very dumb and kind of sick.

Nah, not all but there is a few.

Hey Dream Boy! 40 million tourists??? Have you missed the Corona virus? Need cave rescue?

We are talking about why tourists like to go to Thailand  , the current temporarily decrease in tourism due to covid is irrelevant as to why tourists go to Thailand .

   If you can not incase you cannot envisage that , just pretend its still 2019 and ask why 40 million tourist came to Thailand then

That says alot about you. 

 

Non of my friends who visited me came for Bom bom or Pattaya. Very few of my friends go bom bom with prostitutes. Some might done before, but now settled and happy with life. 
 

You choose your friends, so? 
 

 

Most here using their own reasons for coming to Thailand. Doesn’t explain going to places other than Pattaya.

I’m sure some come for what is mentioned in the survey.  But I have visited many other countries in the past.  And here it seems like most of the tourists come here for booze and partying.

Having trouble connecting the dots? Hint: Ask yourself what female company would cost in Australia, both in the short-term and long-term. 

Thailand gets a lot of negative stereotyping, for me it is unchanged.

Maybe that is the reason why the tourist sector is struggling....

Sure, people are going to fly 10,000 miles for a chicken BBQ.

Lots of different reasons for lots of different people. I live in Jomtien now, first came to Thailand in '82, never went to Pattaya until 2003.

So why do people travel? All the reasons on the survey, and all the reasons regarding availability of short time love. I started coming to Asia in large part because it is not like USA, more so than going to Europe. Alkies that come here to be bar stool jockeys of course assume everyone else is like them. Whore chasers ditto....

Jomtien is crawling with Russian families currently. Very few single Russian men chasing down Thai hookers/girl friends. My guess is part of that has to do with racism, but just my guess.

Peoples reasons for travel perhaps just boil down to "I want to be somewhere else for awhile"

Some may do.

Not sure about the chicken.

But the sauce is always worth the trip.

Chicken rice, a great way to start a day.????????

All depends on who you ask the question

Why not speak English and like an adult , they came for prostitution and for the sex industry .

   Saying Bargirls/boom-boom/happy endings isn't really addressing the issue .

  They went to Thailand to ejaculate .

Lets stick to reality and not use immure names for sex

Complain that TH is not as cheap as the 5 year old blog or YT vid they based their holiday budget on.

 

What, no beach bungalow for 200 baht, or filling meals for 30 baht ????

 

How come my photo doesn't look the same ????

 

 This is a country with a great nature and climate (depending on if you like a hotter weather), a unique and relaxed social atmosphere, low prices relative to a quite a developed infrastructure (I am in Cambodia now and while the prices are quite comparable to LOS the level of overall comfort is closer to that of a stone age). I also like the way the Thai people treat other people: i almost never met a rude Thai person, the trait of character I hate the most. Easily available women (just a small and poorest part of the Thai society)?  Yes.
But to say that it is the main and only reason people want to come here is a lie repeated by the different kind of lowlife sociopaths.

The reason is different. Quite a few Russians (especially those not from Moscow or S. Petersburg) are used to ever pay for sex. Women were readily available for sex in Russia for a dinner at restaurant (not necessarily an expensive one) and, even more often, for a good company with a bottle of vodka. Now the situation is changing and more and more Russians get interested in paid sex with the Thai women.
 Regarding racism - the Russians are generally much less racists than any other Europeans with their often innate superiority complex (almost each of them is a direct descendant of Newton and Napoleon and not of some hard working dirty peasants).

so they asked a few tourists - why you come to Thailand - they obviously don't understand western humour, they are hardly going to say what they are really doing in the biggest brothel on the planet lol

The smaller ones tend to move around alot when you're banging them and the larger ones tend to stay in one place and you don't have to keep pulling them back into place to stop them banging their head on the wall

You do know calling a white person farang is rude as they miss off the polite honorific, kon, lung, pee, nong, etc that every human is entitled to have when being addressed. 

 

And you've never had a Thai push in front of you in 7-11?

 Man, if ever dealt with a rude Russian person - even the rudest of Thais would seem a gentle angel to you. In no way I want to say that all the Russians are like that, but there is a culture of “rudeness” there which, in my opinion,  originates from the inhuman climate and the hard times of living during Tsars, Stalin repressions, Gulag and numerous bloody wars (in which they keep engaging themselves in even now). Thais are just the opposite of that, in my eyes.

PS. In my 10 years in Thailand I never was pushed by a Thai person in any situation.  Never ever was I in a conflict situation with a Thai person (excluding my Tgf, which attacked me with a knife several times, but that is another kind of story).
