Mikenz66 I felt the exact same thing, but didn't want to offend and I am not good with tactfulness like you.

From what you have so far me, I would say you are very off base. You may be close when you consider only the city. But Thailand as a whole is absolutely nothing like what you seem to have assumed. Keep in mind too that Gor (the key writer for that website) is from Bangkok. Many times the actions and lifestyles of the youth in Bangkok do not have 'the approval' of the adults outside the city. Thailand is very different from what Bangkok is in many aspects. Bangkok is simply the largest portion of Thailand that is online and connected to the world, thus all you would see unless you go there.

That would be like comparing San Fransisco to the rest of the USA. Ohh Canada, sorry that would be like me spending 2 days in Toronto or Windsor and assuming that Canada as a whole has the same standards as those cities. An asumption like this would likely offend those in Calgary would it not? Same situation.
