Falcon Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I don't understand the video caption "never go to thailand", it doesn't make any sense. It just looks like a tourism video. Maybe it's just me but....??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gmac Posted May 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think you'll find it under the heading 'reverse psychology". Post a tourism video under the title 'Come to Thailand' people know it's a tourist thingy and ignore it, 'Never Go to Thailand" though is a challenge.......Why not? I'll go if I want to! No-one tells me what to do!! So you click the link to find out what there is that's so terrible about the place........Gotcha!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre0720 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 This thai language, no verb tenses.. 'Never go to Thailand' For the verb 'go' read ''went''. And then the end was truncated, and read: ''Here is some of what you have been missing'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Card Posted May 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) So there are some good bits then.......not all jet-ski scams and tuk-tuk mafia! Or dead coral, ocean plastic, street filth, poisoned food, treeless mountains, smog, bribes, sick dogs, overcharging, road accidents, gun fights. Didn't realise none of that really exists in videos, only in our minds. Edited May 7, 2013 by Card 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think you'll find it under the heading 'reverse psychology". Post a tourism video under the title 'Come to Thailand' people know it's a tourist thingy and ignore it, 'Never Go to Thailand" though is a challenge.......Why not? I'll go if I want to! No-one tells me what to do!! So you click the link to find out what there is that's so terrible about the place........Gotcha!! But if you understand psychology there is a limit to reverse psychology. Sometimes there is a thing called negative reinforcement. The title itself actually makes me feel less like going. Sort of like how studies showed that when people are told something negative about a restaurant for example but then that it's not true it still sticks in their minds (i.e. if someone says "that restaurant has rat feces in their soup.... just kidding! it's not true at all." you'd still be less likely to eat there). I think a negative title doesn't work well with Tourism, especially "Never go to [insert country]" when said country is known for having an abundance of scammers, etc. But I understand this video is probably trying to counter those concerns with the upsides.

radiochaser Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Here I sit in the Lufthansa transit lounge, waiting for my flight out to Thailand and I find this thread in my email. "Never go to Thailand." Too late, I am about halfway there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gassit Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice video - but I liked the recent Thai produced video on erectile dysfunction better. You know - the one where the the aging (Thai) porno movie director motorcyclist takes his gorgeous lady friend into the bushes. Now if they used that one it might really get the tourists to come.
