Popular Post fishtank Posted October 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2020 I live in Thailand and have subscriptions in various You Tube and Facebook groups. Mainly fish keeping and football. As soon as I mention that I am in Thailand it just generates a load of derogatory Thai Women, Sex entertainment, etc comments. Is Thailand's image in the west really that bad? Is that really what they think of Thailand? A fish keeping group for god's sake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) The usual generalisations about Thailand: - Prostitutes and Sex Tourism - Ladyboys - Beaches - Temples - Streetfood All are accurate generalisations but fail to acknowledge that Thailand is also far more. In much the same manner not everyone in the UK wears a bowler hat, carries an umbrella or is a football hooligan ! The generalisations also exist on this forum whereby everyone seems to assume everyone else came to Thailand for cheap women !!!!

teacherclaire Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 What does the ordinary guy think when you are talking about a Thai massage? And a seminar in the capital living in the Nana hotel might raise some questions. IMO, Thailand is only known for one thing, which is cheap sex. OP, did you come here to visit the temples, create your fish ponds and watch football? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
