Thailand has a rampant slave problem. Their seafood industry is propped up by slaves and the sex slavery that’s prevalent throughout the country is sickening. The ongoing human rights abuses and absolute suppression of anyone who questions the king is also terrifying.
After going to Thailand and seeing the situation there first hand, I’ve decided to never buy a Thai product ever again.
- yumraj 5y agoI'm not doubting what you're saying, but given the choice between China and Thailand, I'll take made in Thailand anyday. But, that's just me.
- friedturkey 5y agoI've been to both. Thailand is the place where I felt like I could be arrested for being slightly out of line and had to tread very carefully. People in China had no problem complaining about their government, and there aren't portraits of their dear leader plastered everywhere like in Thailand. I also never saw people openly using drugged up and sedated kids as a begging tool in China, but I sure did in Thailand. The perception of the countries always feels astonishingly backwards to me.
