Talk:Thailand

I just removed this paragraph:

The nature of the Thai people makes Thailand a really good country to use a hitchhiking letter if you can't speak thai. You will often find yourself surrounded by locals who are willing to help you, but who are not familiarized with hitchhiking and cannot speak any English, which may lead to you being dropped at police offices or bus stations. The letter makes these situations much easier, and the hitchhiking in Thailand drastically faster.

Simply, because I totally disagree. I don't speak a word of Thai but still I had a great time hitching around the country. 70% of the drivers speak enough English anyway and in the other cases, I was always able to make it clear what I want. Nobody ever took me to a bus station or anything like that against my will (unlike in countries like China). Has anyone had different experiences? --MrTweek 07:13, 6 July 2012 (CEST)
