Thailand- be nice to the king and don't even think about purchasing "The King and I"

Thailand is quite the interesting country. I could go on and on about the beauty, but if you want more on that, go there for yourself. But man, do they love their King. Forget the British Royals- the Thais have an internest task force whose only job is to block or shut down websites (and arrest those that published them, if they can find them) that in any way speak badly of the Thai Royal Family. It's pretty hardcore.

Also, fun fact- it is illegal in Thailand to have a copy of The King and I.
