Thailand has a LOT to offer and do that has nothing to do with sex tourism; that's just an unfortunate reputation that they get because of a few places like in Bangkok and Pattaya but Thailand is an incredible country in many other categories as well. Literally the best food on the planet

Oh I know. I've been there, twenty years ago. It's a wonderful place and I hope to take my kids there some day.

But the reputation isn't for no reason. It's at the top of my list for problematic places for single men to travel alone to, but that doesn't mean it's not an awesome place to go or even that all single men traveling solo are there for bad intent.

I would highly encourage people to go there. The more non-sex tourism they get, the better for everyone, I think.

Maybe you shouldn't judge people before you've met them

I'm not judging any individual, I said a solo male vacation to Thailand is a flag. Which is the whole point of the post, so what are you even saying here? I hope when I check you are admonishing everyone else who responded...

Oh look at that... not just that but you are a top level commenter judging people. Hmmm.
