[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bali. Its natural beauty has been trampled and there appears to be no public works or national park service equivalent at all. Beautiful natural sites were literally like landfills, with piles of food garbage everywhere and aggressive monkeys all over the place. The locals are desperate to make money and honk at you from their cars, hoping you'll hire them as a day driver. The honking is incessant and the fumes are horrible. I was so, so surprised and disappointed. It was just filthy, and t-shirt shacks are EVERYWHERE. Those gorgeous tiered rice paddies? The most famous one has exactly ONE place to stand where you can frame the shot without a shirt shack.

Phuket also sucked. We stayed in a very expensive resort on on of the higher end beaches, but every time we ventured out it was dirty, smelled, the taxi mafia is unreal, and there's a scam around every corner. If you'e going to Thailand, skip that mess and go to the wonderful Chiang Mai instead! Bangkok is also far better.[/quote]

Chiang Mai is amazing. Phuket does suck.

Ko lanta was a special place ten years ago. [/quote]
