October 13, 2025Oct 13 Why don't you comment on your own op. Tell us about Bangkok being so great that you thought you would post about it.

October 13, 2025Oct 13 https://fastovski.com/why-we-couldnt-love-bangkok-inequality/ We realized this is far from the truth. All those luxuries are enjoyed by less than 10% of Bangkok’s population: the elite — rich Thais and foreigners. Similarly, all those nice places cover only around 10% of Bangkok’s surface area. The reality of Bangkok is quite different. The majority of the city is dirty and polluted. This is where most working-class Thais live. The shiny developed Bangkok is not real, it’s just a playground for the rich. I don’t see how it could be sustainable. None of these luxuries would exist if not for the underpaid workforce. As I’m living here and enjoying these luxuries, I can’t shake the feeling of guilt. When I pay for a nice dinner, I’m very aware it costs more than the waiter earns in their entire day of work.
October 13, 2025Oct 13 https://fastovski.com/why-we-couldnt-love-bangkok-inequality/ After living for a month in Bangkok, I can’t shake the feeling of guilt and privilege. Foreigners can enjoy this country much more than locals can. I don’t know how people ignore this and continue calling Bangkok one of the world’s best cities. A truly great city is one that serves all its people, not just those who can afford it. Development isn’t about skyscrapers or malls — it’s about quality of life, and opportunity. Maybe the real question isn’t whether Bangkok is developing, but who it’s developing for.

Not sure about saving the frogs but I wish you'd save your hand-wringing over your irrelevant feelings of "guilt and privilege". It's embarrassing to watch.

That’s the way that some small part of the money gets back to the provinces; through the remittances of the construction workers and serving staff. There’s not a lot that you can do to improve the lot of the poor, bar tipping generously whenever you walk past a construction site
