Hardline Pro Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just watching a show on BBC2 and it's raising questions of what may happen to Thailand when the King dies. Does anyone have an opinion or insight on the ramifications of the Kimgs death, will there be a shift in the cultural tolerance, or will the vacuum be filled by someone who recognises the value of the tourism/sex/drug destination it has become??

callippo Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thailand is not cheap any more. It's 48 baht to the pound. It's all that rice they sell. Also Thai weed is the most overrated cannabis in the world. It's garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 What is so 'special' about Thailand ? - why do so many Westerners go there ? - same could be applied to Africa. Personally, I wouldn't dare go over there. Rather stay in Europe or America (or parts of the Middle East). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand was great but i feel the package holidays are probably going to kill it,but im sure the surrounding countries will take over the more laid back travel holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
