What risk? Bangkok is visited by millions of westerners every year and 99.99 % get back home without being killed. It is Asia's most westernized place so tell him you chose it for that very reason: to experience Asia while being safe. If it were up to you you would go to Cambodia or Myanmar but out of consideration you have chosen the safe option: Bangkok

Yes, I said that when we were discussing it earlier.(minus the part about choosing it over Cambodia and Myanmar, which was good)

It is hard to cite "worldliness" as a potential payoff when the opposing party places zero value on it, as evidenced by never having travelled anywhere. Maybe some "so that afterwards I can appreciate how well we have it here" bullshit might work. How old are you?

I'm 19. I'd also be taking some university classes there so that my school will pay for it(and then some). I'm a business student so I'm trying to work gaining some international business knowledge into my pitch. But I'm not set on how to sell it.

Just go. Your parents will forgive you when you get back, you won't burn any bridges. They still think you're just their little baby who can't handle the big wide world by himself. This is typical of parents of late-teens.

OP,
As Samseau said, your parents will forgive you when you come back. You need to cut the umbilical cord eventually, and its much better if you do it sooner or later. Do it hard but respectfully, and make it clear who's the boss of your life.
You can make a strong move now and have some friction, in exchange for a lifetime of peace on this issue (control over your life by your parents), or you can tread lightly now and have to deal with this issue for years if not decades later, time after time.
Personally, I did this at a relatively young age (about 16), and now I can ask my parents for their opinions on issues without any confusion as to who's going to make the decision. By contrast, I have friends in their early 30's, young professionals with careers who still argue with their parents when they want to do certain things, amazingly.

Haha so funny. It is a very common view that anything outside of the US and maybe England is a crazy place of death, rape and terror. When all your information comes from news reports on the television about a bombing or kidnapping, you think the world is very scary indeed. But seriously, I would rather not be in many parts of the US for safety reasons.
Tell your parents you will take their offer for a free Europe holiday and then go to Asia later. Make them pay for Asia as well, by saying you will otherwise go backpacking through Rwanda and Kenya.

So now instead of one trip you can have two for the price of one? I think that's a sweet fucking deal. Now you can go to Poland!

Sadly, that map is a pretty accurate depiction of what parts of my family think.
I'm gonna talk to my father about it again, one on one, and make it clear that I'm going.
Gonna wait until after Thanksgiving though, don't wanna have to explain to grandma why I'm going to the land of cheap shit and oppression for five months.
Thanks for the advice.

The title threw me off, I thought the OP wanted advice on how to bang his cousin.

Judging from what my friends have said, Thailand is safer than many parts of America that I've seen. Especially when you consider how fucking tiny everyone is.
Just go, but watch out for the Brits and lady-boys.

Got here tuesday and got my flag 2 hours after leaving the airport, from a girl on Thaifriendly.
Thanks for getting me to man up RVF.
