    Offensive because you are too poor and it makes you feel bad by comparison?

      I can sense your seething hate for poor people through your comment. Keep your bigotry to yourself. My comment referred to them backpacking through one of the deadliest places on earth and calling it an “adventure”. I wonder how fun the adventure is for the people in Laos who deal with human trafficking daily

      Laos is a source, and to a lesser extent, a transit and destination country for human trafficking. As a criminal activity, trafficking in person is difficult to evaluate and statistics documenting the scale of this subject in Laos are poor. International surveys estimate that between 200,000 and 450,000 people are trafficked annually within the Greater Mekong Subregion.

      You rich kids go to bad places, step over poor and dying people and ignore the suffering while you go “wow what an adventure!”
