I was making the comparison , as we all should when discussing any subjective assessment made by someone else. I should have added Liverpool of course, silly me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...silly me" "Silly you", indeed, the OP was not making a comparison so there was no necessity for him to do so, nor for anyone else to attempt to derail his OP on to other countries' cultures. By the way, Liverpool is not a country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BangkokReady Posted April 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: I stopped at tip 1. Walking is a great way to experience Bangkok, the same as it is when you're any place in the world. I didn't even bother reading when I saw this: Quote Ray-Jones said tourists should explore more than just Bangkok's nightlife and red-light district. He thinks prostitution is an average tourist thing? I mean, I know lots of people come to Thailand for prostitution, but suggesting that regular tourists - couples, families, etc. - come to Thailand and just see bars and prostitutes is kind of weird. It either shows that he has a fondness for the red-light district himself, or he is completely out of touch with what regular tourists come to Thailand for.

Thais are 90% the same as Europeans. Europe is big. No all same but different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignok Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Bangkok is a great city for walking. Who cares if some Thais don't like walking. Maybe that's why their lifespan is short. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
