Oh - and as for Thai Culture...
One of the most corrupt countries in the world - but all claim to be Buddhists.
Sitting down in a temple asking Buddha to help them win the lottery this week.... Lordy
Highest rate of crystal meth use in the world.
Rampant prostitution with a government that claims it doesn't exist.
Drunken cops shooting tourists.
Cops that won't help to solve a crime unless you pay them too.
Rich kids intentionally running people over at a bus stops/driving vans off the road - killing a few but not going to jail because their parents are rich/famous
Thai people throwing rubbish everywhere so the whole country looks like a dump
Corrupt court system
High rate of contract killings
School system that completely ignores the poor.
Coups every 10 years (or more frequently at times)
Shall I go on?
You know what I say about Thai culture?
FUCK THAI CULTURE. It's a nation of hypocrites.
It's a basket case of a country but to be honest, that's why I like it so much. It's never dull.
