If someone told you that they wanted to/have gone to this place you would be very suspicious of them. For me it’s Theiland and The Philippines. Nothing good happens there.

    Thailand is an absolutely beautiful country with amazing food why would you say “nothing good happens there”, I don’t know enough about the Philippines to have an opinion about it but that also seems like quite an overstatement for them as well

      It’s pretty known for sex tourism, including the underage kind. That’s only if it’s somebody who fits the profile of a sex tourist, though.

        I just can’t imagine having a person I call a friend who told me they came back from Thailand and my thought went to I bet they went there to sleep with underage prostitutes. Like I know people do that but I would never willingly associate with a person who I thought would do that

    This is incredibly dismissive of two entire countries and cultures. I suspect it’s based out of ignorance or preconceived notions rather than any actual experience or knowledge

    That’s a peak western chauvinist take right there. My wife and I are lowkey planning a trip to Thailand to explore the food, suppose that makes us some sort of creeps?

    This whole concept of some places being judge worthy is racist as hell.

      While Theiland does have a rich history and culture you being deliberately naive if you’re saying that there isn’t massive prostitution industry there. I’m not saying anything bad about the country I’m just saying if you want to visit you probably don’t have the best intentions.

      “This whole concept of some places being judge worthy is racist as hell.”

      If knowing the difference between good and bad makes me racist then sign me up for racism school.

    If you’re a broke and amoral European lady with no interest in history, architecture or Islam and you tell me you’re going to Dubai…

    I’ll judge you for any holiday destination that you travel to for anything but visiting family. Did you make your own country so ugly you have to go somewhere where it’s still nice, causing the place to become a resort desert? Can’t afford booze in your own country so you have to annoy the locals by ambling along their beaches in drunk shrimp mode? Want to explore the latest ‘cool’ city making rent unaffordable for locals in the process? Just stay at home and make sure it’s a place you don’t want to run away from.
