Most common complaints about Thailand - how do they compare to your home country?


Recommended Posts

Posted

TV posts often complain about such things as corruption, bad driving, garbage, short fuses/violence, bad air, etc.

How do these compare to your home country...are they absent, less visible, common?

Here is a list of things that are common in the US that is far less likely to happen or have never occured in Thailand:

- Pervasive rude behavior, sense of entitlement (eg, I'm right, you're wrong often leading to bad endings)

- Constant honking out of anger/aggression

- Road rage that commonly results in violence and/or shooting

- Reckless driving (at least Thais signal)

- Getting into verbal confrontation because of someone's poor behavior

- Getting verbally abused or attacked because of your skin color

- Neo nazis, Skinheads, KKK harassing, assaulting people

- Overly aggressive, in-your-face behavior often resulting in verbal confrontations

- Mass shootings (eg, 1 or more people shooting scores of others)

- Frequent, random gun fatalities (eg, confrontations, family arguments, children getting hold of firearms, police shooting innocent citizens)

- Pervasive, underlying sense of paranoia that danger is lurking everywhere

- As with above, a sense one always has to be on guard

Probably missing a few things in the list, but by and large, for such a rich and prosperous country the US seems for more hazardous to one's well being than any of the common complaints about Thailand.
