A trip to Thailand should be considered a luxury because of the environmental impact of flying.
There are huge environmental costs to people flying all over the world whenever they like, I think it would be healthy for people to consider such long haul flights (flying in general tbh) to be a luxury, not something it’s OK to do all the time, whenever you like, rather than a special treat that you only indulge in occasionally.
The typical travel snob loves the genuine cultural atmosphere of the abroad country (ie poverty). When the natives acquire western luxuries, higher standard of living etc it’s spoiled and over exploited.
Yep it’s the clowns in work going to Barcelona for the weekend that do my head in.
Professing culture about Gaudi architecture and coming home with Lionel Messi mugs that piss me off.
Someone should have warned the fucking philistines that all of their cultural exploits would be rendered null and void if they bought some football merchandise too
