Thailand

A new book has branded Thailand one of the world’s most dangerous tourist destinations.

Australian author, John Stapleton, suggests that widespread police corruption, violence and crime are all blighting a country once commonly referred to as the ‘Land of Smiles’.

In his book Thailand: Deadly Destination, Mr Stapleton attempts to expose the reputation of Thailand as a welcoming country, claiming a boom in tourism since the 1960s has created a hatred of foreigners and a ‘murderous indifference’ to the millions of tourists who flock to the country’s white-sandy beaches, picturesque countryside and thriving nightlife each year.

This is one man’s opinion based on his own experiences. Thailand is visited by millions of tourists every year who have a fabulous experience and think the opposite to Mr Stapleton.
