Your posts are all so negative and you just abuse the OP on every topic.

I admire your tenacity for continued self reflection, introspection, and confession.

Bikers love visiting them. Thailand is world famous for biking.

I'm not putting Thailand down as a lot of it is beautiful, especially the beaches and mountains, but when you're down into it, a lot is much the same, and the cities are just like all other major cities, with the filth and run down shops and buildings. You go into the woods and you'll see a lot of garbage thrown by people who don't have a garbage pickup in their villages. The water is dirty in many beach areas because of tourism. From a distance a lot looks nice, and is, but not all. In any event, you haven't seen near all of Thailand, nor has anyone else.

Pollution is also an issue. But on the plus side you find hotels and cafes on hills that makes it great to explore.

I'm just saying this argument isn't worth going into, as many of us have been to hundreds of villages and cities, and it's not a race or competition. I've seen most of what I wanted to see besides a few places, as again, it's much the same. The only reason I would visit the islands is to fish and see the sunsets. The mountains have too many snakes and bugs, and some mines, and aren't like walking in the woods in the US.

Yet up to 40m a year visit. You see more of the bad stuff in villages.

Most people have not. Thailand has some real funky hotels. Snakes are shy and rarely seen.

The largest majority of people come here to get laid. The women for the temples, and both need to eat, and Thai food is good if you find the right restaurants.Most of the bad stuff is in tourist areas and big cities. In the villages the people are just farmers and don't do wrong to anyone besides the dogs.

Most tourists are backpackers or families. Sex tourists would be less than a 1/3. Villages are full of rubbish and burning off. Tourist areas get cleaned up.

I see snakes every week, and there are 48 snakes here that can kill you very fast if you don't get to a hospital. Up to 400+ die every year.

You can see a sunset almost everywhere in the World.

This kind of depends on each individual health and mindset. I'm 78 and I noticed my start of decline from only taking aspirin occasionally for meds at 75 to over four meds to shrink my prostrate and help protect my heart and kidneys. One must be very proactive regarding your health with doctor visits (every six months for me) to ensure one's longevity. Good Luck in Staying Healthy.

Yes, but the beach ones are the most beautiful. I've seen every variety, from a hunting stand, fishing boat, beach, mountain and on farms.

Australia is home to nine of the world's ten deadliest snakes, with several species renowned for their highly toxic venom and potential to cause fatalities if untreated. The most venomous snake in the world, the inland taipan, possesses venom that can kill an adult human within an hour if left untreated. The eastern brown snake is responsible for more human fatalities in Australia than any other snake species, with its venom capable of causing death in under 15 minutes.
