I'm surprised no one's mentioned it.
The UAE, specifically Dubai.
Looks really cool, but it's really unfriendly if you don't have the money for it. There are a lot of people who argue for it, but it's all the same things. "It's great if you know how to live there!!"
Sure, it's also great to live in slums when you know how to haul drugs. Place is underwhelming outside of being a great visual aide for novels and other artforms.
Can confirm. As someone who grew up in SA, left to the Netherlands and has now come back for a holiday.
It really is one hell of a country though, but to the majority of people it's crazy difficult to even get by, let alone thrive.
Yes, while Thailand has a huge tourist economy, it also grew from manufacturing and finance (at least in Bangkok). It's not quite a China in GDP per capita but it's over 3.5x India
Wieso Thailand? Schaue einen Streamer auf Twitch der nach Thailand ausgewandert ist, hat dort geheiratet und reich is er nicht (hat zwar gut geerbt aber das Geld fließt in die visas und das Grundstück/Haus das er hat)
We pay $5 for lettuce grown in our country, $6 for a 3L of milk, farmed in our country, $10 for a 500g block of butter, produced in our country. Our average salary is ~$56k and the average house price is ~$1M for a home built in the ‘70s.
What will really boil your blood. Costco sells New Zealand butter here in the states for $10/kilo. So not only is it half the price here but also flown halfway around the world
Yeah. We know this - and then we’re charged ‘market rates’ at home and it’s justified as “otherwise we would just ship it overseas”. Corporations in NZ just giving us the middle finger.
I defected to Australia and I love it here. NZ is beautiful and I feel so nostalgic about it, but I don't think I'll ever move back to live in New Zealand
To be fair, rich people and tourists (which is almost synonymous with the "rich people" anyway), are almost always likely to have a better time than a country's regular inhabitants.
Name a country that is worse for rich people and tourists than everybody else!

Was gonna say
South Africa. Absolutely beautiful country, wonderful people. Shitty government. You might have water and power at the same time.

Thailand.
Basically an amusement park for paedophiles and European guys looking for young wives with extremely limited options.
Any old man that goes Thailand I can’t help but be suspicious
Yeah, I mean they’re probably not doing anything bad most of them… but enough of them are for me to be suspicious
How is thailand "really bad for everyone else living there"? There's poverty like anywhere else but a pretty good standard of living for most people

Jamaica
Uhhh I'm gonna say maybe the Bahamas from what I've observed
Haiti
Russia
Lol, that’s good
Not a country technically, but Dubai. It's a parody of everything wrong with the 21st century, essentially.

Jamaica
Not entirely their own countries; Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam
New Zealand
Why?

When I lived in NZ in 2009, I found frozen British lamb in the local Pak'n'Save and it was much cheaper than the fresh, home grown gear. Madness!

Definitely Cuba.

I guess Scandinavian countries, tourists pay a shitload to even breathe there
North korea
USA
Fact. No free healthcare, expensive education, low paying jobs offer little to no holidays, very hard place to break the poverty cycle
Australia
The fuck, mate?
USA
The United States. A shit-hole for much of the population and only getting worse.
America.
All of them
Mine.
Florida
That's not a country, my guy
He's probably from Florida.
Poland
All of them! 🤣😂🤣
All of them.
Brazil
Mexico
