Kho Samet

Thailand actually literally means "Land of the Free"; however, during my short stay in Bangkok and elsewhere I came to realize how much the country depends on tourism and how tourism has eroded the moral standards of the nation. Tourists come in throwing dollars and euro around, (and 1 euro can comfortably feed a local at local restaurants for a whole day). Tourism really just drives up corruption, drug abuse, prostitution (mostly male prostitutes than female) and an overall instability.
