I guess you voted for Brexit to get away from ''johnny foreigner''

Never voted pal but if all Johnny Foreigners were as puerile as you,i would.

Went there on my honeymoon and if it was any other time, it would have been blase. When you look out from Patong's beach towards the Andaman Sea, it looks nice, especially if you're a romantic like myself that loves the oceans wonders, and fisherman who dreams of the huge fish one can catch out there. But when you turn around, all you see are hotels ganged up next to each other, and thousands of people all lumped together. I did have a good time going to a pay and fish and caught some huge catfish and carp, and the food was okay, but would never go again. I have only been to one island, Koh Chang, and that has appeal, along with other islands out there that are not so crowded others I know have been to. I can't understand people, many of whom have beaches where they're from, that are far less crowded, that come here and are surrounded by walls of tourists. Some beaches do look scenic, but the crowds take that away when you're there.

If no one goes there anymore, how is it crowded?

certainly, getting ratty at me draws you into the trap of engaging with me one on one, which is irrelevant. I don't know the exact source, but at 77 yrs, and still having an open mind - learning to learn - i still follow the motto that there is nothing worse than despairing that you cannot make a change. Altho' I respect that you attend Remembrance Day.

Phuket bears the brunt of overcrowding, with a staggering ratio of 118 tourists for every local resident. 

No way is this statistic is anywhere near correct. Must have been taking math lessons from the TAT.
