It’s not Thailand, it’s India, so change the misleading title.

I work in Thailand and have been unfortunate enough to have been to India a few times.

The pictures are clearly India / Pakistan / Bangladesh but certainly not Thailand.

If you look closely there are also posters of Bollywood movies on the walls.

All that being said, Thailand does have a similar problem but not to this extent.

BTW unfortunately the best affordable ADSL speeds here are 512k up /2.5MB down giving 230kbps download speeds(if your lucky and wind is blowing in the right direction) for about 60$US a month.

“since kite flying is hugely popular.”

And has also been very dangerous lately (for obvious reasons).

I was gonna say the architecture in the back of that picture looks like what I’ve seen in India, but then I visited the link. Lo and behold, the pictures are NOT from Thailand but from India. I guarantee it. How can I tell? Um, a bunch of dark brown people walking the streets? The writing on the signs is also not in Thai, but Hindi. Not to mention, I can also see the a number of kite remains on the lines, which is a common site in India since kite flying is hugely popular.
