>what they mean is that the place is a third world country transitioning into a first world country (with ambiguous laws for high economic growth, lots of job opportunities for token white men but cheap first world amenities can be available).
Not at all, when /trv/ means a place in its prime it means a place that is not flooded with tourists and immigrants, a country with a unique culture that isn't globalized, almost none of the countries you listed qualifies. If there's a Starbucks there it doesn't qualify.

>Thailand
Full of white dorkers / sexpats, most visited tourist destination in the world, enough said.

>Indonesia/Malaysia
Again very touristy and globalized, Malaysia is almost a first world country so it's literally the opposite of what people are looking for.

>Vietnam
Maybe qualified before COVID, now it's gotten very touristy as the type of crowds that go to Thailand have discovered it.

>Turkey
Second-world country sitting at the crossroads between East and West, obviously globalized and touristy as fuck.

>Morocco
Full of tourists that all do the exact same tour of the Sahara, might be OK if you go off the beaten path.

>Argentina
Uninteresting Western-ish country, the only reason DNs flocked there was due to the financial crisis allowing one to have a first world experience for cheap. Not the case anymore as it has gotten expensive again.

>Brazil
Again one of the most visited destinations in the world, maybe if you leave the tourist resorts you can find some gems but it can also be quite dangerous.

>Ivory Coast or Ghana
I don't know much about Africa to comment.

But if OP wants places that are still unspoiled by globalization, I would suggest the Kingdom of Bhutan, it's a small, safe country, with a government interested in preserving the local culture, introduction of electricity was purposely delayed by the government because they knew it would upend their traditions. It's the last bastion safe from globalization.
