I just realized how little I know about Thailand. It seems I only hear about sex tourism, crazy drug stories, or actors dying mysteriously when it comes to Thai

  It's a rather fab place (just come back) but it is important to understand that they take their monarchy very very seriously. Walking around Bangkok and a large motorcade drives by? You do stop what you are doing and stand respectfully.

  You should visit. It does have a a lot of tourism, and most places lack the sex tourism thing. It is also an upper middle income country and Bangkok is a pretty cosmopolitan city with lots of really well done interior design. In fact, Thailand produces a lot of UX designers in the tech industry given their design culture. Bangkok is not a bad place for a startup, they have a lot of medical-tech startups that goes along with their strong medical tourist industry.
