1BADDAT Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think that Thailand could learn a lot from India regarding charm. India has historical palaces, promotes its animals with integrity. It has a body set up to warn tourists of scams. The sages with their devotees bathe in the Ganges is a site to see. dead bodies on the streets and rivers are quite charming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so different to USA. In USA, the police force provide this service. One can sit in the comfort of one's home & view on their TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Bangkok has never had charm in the first place. Maybe 100 years ago it was cozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 LOS been 'losing it's charm' for a decade now and has been on a rapid decline these past 5 years. The wais are gone, the smiles are gone. "Baditude" and high prices are the norm. It's a tourist trap now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yes, some popular tourist areas are tourist traps but what do you expect. Try a different area or go a little more high end and you may find there are still plenty of wais and smiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so different to USA. In USA, the police force provide this service. One can sit in the comfort of one's home & view on their TV. Not so different to the USA? There are almost NO similarities between India and USA. I don't think you could pick two more different countries. If India is so charming, then why aren't more people trying to move there? Indian people are the rudest people I have ever met. I have Indian friends in USA and even they tell me how bad their own people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BADDAT Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm sure that is the ONLY reason no one wants to live / retire there. My company offered me an assignment there. I declined and got a much better offer here in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 From BKK to all the places where foreign tourists go, Phuket, Hua Hin, Samui, Pattaya, CM, etc etc - it's been losing it's charm for years. Sorry, you did'nt want to hear it, but the real Thailand, with plenty of charm left is out in the sticks where the tourists do not flock. Nakon Nowhere etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
