What would you say are some key similarities between your home country, region, state, province, county, administrative unit, or city...and your region of Thailand? (or, Thailand as a whole)
Whether serious or not.
Here goes. I'm from the US state of Texas (yeah, I know). Similarities between Texas and the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand:
- Pickup trucks as status symbols
- All sauces for food must first and foremost be sweet
- No destination within the region worth getting too excited about visiting
- Thinks its history is important, but others don't see it that way
- Loads of drunk drivers
- Accent frequently mocked in the media
- Rich from petrochemicals, but awfully polluted
- Top students leave the region as quickly as possible, but always end up coming back
- Everybody smokes weed, but shitty weed
- Suspicious of the illegals from just over the border, but need their labor dearly
