Thailand Risks Falling Behind Vietnam in Economic Race

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the very bad seedy reputation that Thailand has. It’s really over the top now . I don’t know another country that has so much in your face prostitution, sex shows and even the beaches are over run by the lower class girl. It doesn’t bother me to the extent of never putting a foot in again, but it does a lot of tourists. After 40 years I’m vaccinated .

The well off quality tourists with or without kids just don’t like what they see. So they go elsewhere.

Otherwise it’s lack of good education, impossible pavements and possibly the worlds most dangerous roads that annoy me the most.
