For me Thailand is more than just the BG scene. It is true that many people think that you only go there for sex. It must be all that bad publicity Thailand got years back with pedophiles going there for sex that still keeps people prejudiced against Thailand in general.
When people ask me why I go to Thailand I simply tell them that I go for many reasons and among them are that the Thai people are so nice to be around, the food is excellent, the weather and beaches are superb and it is cheap.
Many people from my country take a two week vacation on one of the Canary Islands and spend more money on that than what I would spend in Thailand for two weeks.
Add to that all the benefits of Thailand like the good diving spots, great golf courses and plenty of other activities to keep you amused.
If people still believe I am a “sex-tourist” after that then it’s their problem. I don’t really bother try justifying anything because I know deep down that in 34 days I will be sitting in May Thai bar with a BG on my lap and they will be home in crappy Denmark wishing they were in my place
