Thailand: The Preferred Destination for "Working-Class" Travelers (page 8 of 10)

At the same time, for someone living in Isaan, you can’t really blame them for wanting to experience a bit of the crowds on Samui for a change.

I checked out your travel journals, and I don’t see Isaan listed. Have you been?... Not that I have any stake in Samui, but when it comes to crowds, aside from 1 or 2 beaches where it’s naturally packed because they’re the hub of beach activities... For us, those spots just let our family enjoy a few days of relaxation that our budget wouldn’t allow in France. As for the rest—the meaning of life, the over-the-top consumerism of paid vacations, or why eat ice cream at Swensen’s... I leave all those big existential questions at the door and just enjoy myself.

Hello

Nice!

I’m also adding a pic of the island—it’s ugly and low-res, but I love it!

The little island that appears on the horizon from the Isaan-registered pickup truck is Koh Hin Nok. The forbidden island from Alex Garland’s novel. Skippy told me all about it.

It doesn’t matter. Respect does, I guess. So you keep your mouth shut for the first ten years and collect the stories. You can post about visiting a temple with photos and humor and then go back to work. Mai pen rai. Sorry.

So, to sum up the 8 pages of discussion, I’d say:

EVERYONE’S THAILAND IS DIFFERENT!!!!!

EVERYONE’S GOT THEIR OWN THAILAND !!!!!

Hmm, too quick, Daisy—guess we can’t even forum anymore...

At least you’re getting everyone to agree :p 😉

To each their own Thailand... without forgetting the Thailand of the Thais.😎

Sometimes I dream about work.

I park my wife in CSS: .my-wife {position:absolute; top: -10000}. Or a landscape that’d make a killer full-screen background for my field of vision.

HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh man, you must be a real clown!

Of course, vacations in Knokke-le-Zoute or De Panne would make more than a few people on this forum dream.

Anyway, you really made me laugh with your ignorance and your lack of money that doesn’t let you go to Thailand.

I’ll buy you a working-class Stella at the post office café…

Another person who thinks they're different from everyone else. But dear "friend," you're actually part of the tourists who've been there—and realize that where you think you're the only one who's gone, thousands have already been, and millions more will come. So don’t judge others; everyone travels how they want, and the so-called backpacker in front of the Eiffel Tower will see the same thing as the poor "working-class" tourist. Let’s stay humble, thanks.

We don’t understand when you try to express yourself 😏😏😏

But the backpacker won’t waste their time standing in line to go up the Eiffel Tower.....

Travelers looking to discover other civilizations and cultures might be nothing but disappointed.

Yeah, that’s why they don’t go there—or don’t go anymore—and head to other countries instead. A working-class traveler loves meeting working-class folks from other places. Survival mode!

Hmm, there was a time when you’d still hear stories about machetes on buses heading to BKK... not that long ago. Trader or not, you wouldn’t last long in the countryside where solidarity isn’t just some marketing buzzword.

Good evening, If we could just talk a bit more simply so everyone can understand, instead of showing off your "expertise"...😏
