There are so many tourists who come to Thailand for the first time and base everything they know on that one visit.
Good or bad, that one time is going to form the basis for their opinion which they will share and defend all over social media.
The majority are just plain misinformed.
To really understand Thailand, you have to live here for years.
You have to get experience how things really work over time.
When you are armed with a pocket full of money for a holiday, it is not the same, not even close, as having to live here everyday.
Tourists always act on social media as if NO one was ever visited the sites they just shared a video on.
How naïve is that?
Do you really think we don’t already know everything there is to know about Maya Bay?
Do you really think there are locations no one has ever seen?
How foolish!
Smart people do their own research and don’t count of people on social media they don’t even know.
Stick to professional reviews like TripAdvisor.
