Why do we always refer to Thailand as "Land Of Smiles"
Surely this title should taken off Thailand and given to Cambodia.One only has to travel on a bus and look at the non smiling faces in Thailand compared to talking,laughing Cambodians to see the difference.The only time Thais smile is when they are going to take your money.OK I know that is a bit harsh,and will upset some of you,but that is my view and I'm sticking to it.In spite of all that I still love Thailand,but when I refer to "LOS" I mean "CAMBODIA".The real land of smiles.

A frown is just a smile turned upside-down.

I've never actually been in Cambodia. Just to the border at Poi Pet....
If you see all the tricks to lure visitors in paying 'fees' I understand where these 'smiles' come from.
The treatment at the border has always stopped me from going any further into Cambodia.
I've been to most of the countries of SE Asia, but always come back to Thailand... with a smile on my face!

I've never been to Cambodia either, but I hear that Pailin is real nice during this time of year, and the people there are really joyful. I wonder if Hun Sen's associates are still shooting out tires at Pochentong Airport for lost luggage?
In all honesty I would like to go someday. I like the sketchyness of it all. Plus I read in a book (A Cook's Tour - Anthony Bourdain) that you can arrange to shoot a cow or a water buffalo with a B-40 rocket.

DrLove, I agree,the Poi Pet border is bad enough to make most travellers turn and run, but beyond the border,a great country and loverly people.Reminds me of a book I once read[the only one] had a dirty cover,but once past the first page,it had a good story.

I actually agree with 8, but rather than cambodia, you should go to Vanuatu and other pacific islands and see the very warm and genuine smiles from everyone there, especially the kids. One of the few places where dozens of kids will run out to you with genuine smiles wanting nothing more than to say hello or for you to take a photo with them and simply show them. these smiles are huge with the big white teeth and chocolate skin.
Thailand claimed that name prematurely thats for sure, but 100% credit to the slogan 'amazing thailand' it will never get sued for false advertising for that slogan.
