I visited 10countries till now. The one i am definitely not going to visit again is Chile.
I spent 2 weeksin Chile at the expense of a visit to Brazil. I chose it for three reasons - AtacamaDesert, Patagonia Region and ITS PEOPLE. Many blogs i read andtravelers i spoke to, stated great things about how friendly and accommodatingthe people were.
The AtacamaDesert is an amazing spot. I dropped my idea to Patagonia visit since i dintexpect it to be freezing in August. No regrets for this. But it is the peopleof Santiago who have disappointed me the most.
Were they racist,violent? Not at all.
What pissed meoff the most is their non-receptive and cold nature towards strangers.
I do not think itis their mistake. I believe they are just introverts as a society on a whole.Walk through a crowded market in Santiago or a monument - people just murmur,take a metro - its pin drop silence. You will not hear a loud laugh or achatter. Ask someone something and you wont get any useful responses. As a solotraveler i felt this silence and introverted politeness unbearable.
Though i havesome knowledge of travel-spanish, it did not help that their accent isdifferent to Mexican spanish.
There might besome who might have like the place. But after a trip to exuberant countrieslike Mexico and Cuba, Chile trip proved a disaster. 2 weeks in the country, myonly comfort was friends at hostel and a 3 day visit to Atacama Desert.
Just like a verynice but emotionally unreceptive person makes a bad life-partner, Chile boredme to death in spite of its beautiful landscapes and polite people.
Edit 1:
I always comeback to this answer to read the comments section.

目前为止我访问过十个国家，绝对再也不会回去的国家就是智利。
我放弃了巴西之旅而在智利度过了两个星期。我这么选是有理由的——阿塔卡马沙漠，巴塔哥尼亚地区和那里的人民。我读过很多相关的博客，也和许多旅行者交谈过，他们都说智利有多么的好玩，人民有多么的友好好客。
阿塔卡马沙漠景色优美，不过我放弃了巴塔哥尼亚之旅，因为我觉得那里八月份会很冷。这次旅行没有什么遗憾，不过最让我失望的还是圣地亚哥的人民。

是因为他们种族主义或是有暴力吗？完全不是。
最让我不爽的是他们对陌生人那种不接纳的冷漠态度。
我觉得这不是他们的错，作为一个社会整体来讲他们只是太内向了。当我穿过圣地亚哥拥挤的市场或是参观历史遗迹时，人们就会放低声音窃窃私语；当我乘坐地铁时，车厢里静的连针落地的声音都听得见，听不到任何大声的嬉笑和交谈。你问任何人任何事情都得到不到什么有效的回应。
尽管我懂一些旅游西班牙语，但是没什么用，因为他们的口音和墨西哥西班牙语不一样。
可能会有人喜欢智利，但是在我经历了像墨西哥和古巴这样精彩的旅行之后，智利之旅就像是一场灾难，我唯一的欣慰就是和朋友在旅馆里的时光，还有在阿塔卡马沙漠度过的三天。
就像一个很善良但是情感上不接纳他人的人不会是一个好的生活伴侣一样，尽管智利有着优美的景色和礼貌的人民，智利之旅还是让我枯燥的要死。

I would rateLuxembourg as a top candidate for a country that I wouldn’t visit again. I wasliving near Frankfurt for half a year and visited Luxembourg with a group offriends for a weekend. It was a trip from the south of the country, thenreaching the capital and travelling north to Vianden castle.
I should say theplaces looked good, historic, a blend of French and German tastes in most ofthe aspects. The modern city that is now attracting bankers and money men is instark contrast with the rest of the country- Glass structures and tallerbuildings.
However, whatthis place lacks is- Liveliness. The 72 hours i spent in the country, it lookeddull and uninspiring. It was as if the whole place lacked energy and spice. Wewere Bored.
The trains werehalf empty, the restaurants were looking dull and the people were unresponsive.Adding to all of this the prices that we had to pay for staying in a Hostel,food made it worse.

我会把卢森堡做为不会再访问的第一候选国。当时我已经在法兰克福附近了半年，在一个周末和一群朋友去卢森堡。旅行是从该国南部开始的，到达首都后向北旅行到菲安登城堡。
应该说这地方看起来还不错，很有历史氛围，在很多方面有一种法国与德国情调混合的感觉。这个现代化的城市现在正吸引着银行家和有钱人，和该国其他地区形成了鲜明对比，这里充满了玻璃建筑和高楼大厦。
然后，这个地方缺乏一样东西——活力。在这个国家度过的72个小时里，一切都看起来呆板没生气。就好像整个地方都缺少能量和情趣。让我们感觉很无聊。
火车座位有一半是空的，餐馆也看起来很乏味，那的人看起来也反应迟钝。再加上我们住店吃饭所要支付的价格，这次旅行就显得更糟糕了。

Egypt,particularly Cairo, though granted I went there almost 10 years ago when I wasa teen. Loved the pyramids and the Red Sea, disliked any city areas. Theinfrastructure is clearly very old and not maintained - there is a lot ofgarbage around. In semi-tourist areas there was also a lot of catcalling andunwelcome advances by the many men standing around the shops (I was about 15, Iwore long pants and a t shirt sometimes with a cardigan everyday, as did therest of the women in our group out of respect for the conservative customs).They would pretty much grab you off the street into their store and “help” youtry on things - A LOT of touching involved. Rejection is not exactly understoodand they have a strong grip. There was a general sense of unease and our guidesspecified to us constantly that we should be careful of our belongings and forthe women not to wander off alone. The food also made many in our group unwell,but I would hesitate to knock the food as it much depends on personaltolerance.
It is the mostuneasy I have felt in another country, and I have travelled extensively.Probably the most similarly associated country I have been to is Turkey, butIstanbul and its people were wonderful.

埃及，尤其是开罗，尽管我是十年前在我还是十几岁的时候去的。我很喜欢金字塔和红海，不喜欢的是城区。城区的基础设施很旧，维护的也不好，地上有很多垃圾。在半旅游区有很多男人会站在门外冲人打口哨，做些令人讨厌的举动（当我是十五岁，整天都穿着长裤T恤，有时候会穿开襟羊毛衫。为了尊重当地保守的风俗习惯，旅游团里其他女人也都穿的也都和我差不多）。他们会直接把你从街上拉到店里“帮你”试东西，试的过程中会有很多身体接触。因为语言不通，拒绝根本没有用，而且他们都很有劲。旅行的时候也有一种很不轻松的感觉，我们的导游总是提醒我们要注意自己的东西，女性不要独自离开。食物也让我们团里很多人不舒服，但我觉得应该是和个人耐受性有关系。
我去过很多地方，这是我在外国所有国家的经历里最不轻松的一次。可能感觉最相似的国家应该是土耳其，但是伊斯坦布尔和当地人都很好。

Ian Sawyer, As ofSept 2016 I've visited a total of 49 different countries.
OriginallyAnswered: What country would you never return to?
OriginalQuestion: What country would you never return to?
I don’t even needto think about this, and there are two countries involved:
Sudan and Yemen.
It was many yearsago I visited both of them, and even back then they were dangerous, dirty,flyblown and primitive places. There aren’t many countries you can visit whereyou need a Kalashnikov-carrying armed guard with you when you go out…
And since then?They’ve both just gone further and further downhill. A great shame becausethere are, or at least there were, some wonderful places to see in bothcountries, but what do you expect when you’ve got psychopathic religiousfanatics who don’t seem to give a damn about anything or anyone but themselves,running the country.

Ian Sawyer，到2016年9月，我已经总共访问过49个不同的国家。
原问题：你再也不会回访的国家是哪个？
我甚至想都不用想，就是这两个国家：
苏丹也也门。
很多年前我去过这两个国家，在那时这两个国家就都很危险，肮脏，污秽，原始。在一个需要手持卡拉什尼克夫步枪保镖的国家里你是没有多少地方可看的。
从那时以后呢？这两个国家反而越来越完犊子了，真是这两国的奇耻大辱。因为这两个国家都有很多美丽的景色，但是当管理两个国家都只有疯狂的宗教狂热分子，他们除了自己对什么都不屑一顾的时候，你又能指望有什么好事。

Croatia
This might comeas a surprise to many but yes, I shall never visit Croatia again.
Reasons:
Croatia isclearly not ready for such a massive tourists influx. Zagreb’s airport, trainstation & bus station look like they are from the 19th century. Thetransport system is not ready to take on so many people. (I am from India &I had expected better transport facility from an European country)
Dubrovnik’s buses are always crowded. If you’re fromMumbai or visited Mumbai ever in life, imagine the B.E.S.T. buses during peakhours - That’s how crowded the buses in Dubrovnik are. But my main problemcomes in the next point.
Racism. I went to3 cities in Croatia - Zagreb, Dubrovnik & Split. Zagreb& Dubrovnik were the worst ones. Locals see tourists (Especially the brown& black ones) with disgrace. They will not talk to you properly, won’t helpyou, try to rip you off in a shop or simply ignore by signaling that they arenot interested. It feels bad when we have to witness this in 2016.
Another incidenthappened during our bus to Dubrovnik from Zagreb. We were stopped mid-way whilecrossing the border of Bosnia & Herzegovina. The bus was full yet only ourpassports were taken (Because we weren’t white?). My friend was asked to getdown. The police asked him to get his luggage from the bus, open it in front ofthem. They asked him bluntly to show them drugs that he might be carrying.
I would’ve beenfine with the random checking but it was the bus driver (Croatian) who kept onsaying things to the police officer & he kept on harassing my friend fornearly 20 minutes. After they didn’t find anything on him (because obviously),they let us go.
The only goodCroatian people I met were the AirBnb hosts in these 3 cities. That’s it.
(Also, some wisemagician took my wallet in the tram. Lost EUR 200 & the police werehopeless.)
Sorry Croatia,not again.

克罗地亚
这个回答可能会让很多人惊讶，但我绝不会再去克罗地亚。
原因：
面对如此多的游客涌入，克罗地亚显然没有做好准备。萨格勒布的机场、火车站和公交车站就好像是从19世纪穿越过来的。运输系统没有准备好迎接这么多的人（我是印度来的，本以为欧洲国家的交通设施会更好）。
杜布罗夫尼克的公交车总是很拥挤。如果你是孟买人或是去过孟买，想象一下高峰时期最拥挤的公交车，杜布罗夫尼克的公交车就挤成那样。我的主要问题在下面一点。
种族主义。我去了克罗地亚的三个地方，萨格拉布，杜布罗夫尼克，斯普利特。萨格拉布和杜布罗夫尼克是种族歧视最严重的城市。当地人会不尊重旅游者（尤其是棕色皮肤和黑色皮肤的人）。他们不和你好好说话，也不会帮助你，想在你购物时狠狠敲你一笔，或是摆出一副冷漠的样子忽视你。在2016年居然还能发生这种怪事真是让人感觉不爽。

在我们乘巴士从萨格拉布去杜布罗夫尼克的时候还发生过这样一件事。在巴士穿过波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维亚边境的时候被拦了下来检查。然而只有我们被要求拿出护照来（就因为我们不是白人?）。我朋友也被叫下了车，警察让他把行李拿下来当着他们的面打开，甚至直接说让他把可能携带的毒品拿出来。
对临时检查我没有意见，但巴士司机（克罗地亚人）一直跟警察说什么，并一直骚扰了我的朋友近20分钟。直到他们在他身上一无所获（因为很明显他什么违禁品都没带），才放过了他。
我在这三个城市里唯一遇到的还不错的克罗地亚人是AirBnb上面的房东，也就仅限于此了。
（还有一些聪明的魔术师在电车上偷了我的钱包，丢了200欧元警察也没有任何帮助。）
抱歉克罗地亚，我再也不去了。

OriginallyAnswered: As a tourist, which city or country will you never go back to visitagain?
Can't say never,but Bangkok in Thailand is the best candidate.
Beinglight-skinned European I was constantly referred to as some sort of sex tourist(I was not) and in general the attitude of the locals was to find a way to scamthe tourist for some money. Fortunately most "artists" were notparticularly clever and the rip offs and scams were visible even withoutthinking too much. Some people were lovely and pleasant but they were aminority.
The city itselfis rather stinky and dirty with few very neat corners. Skyscrapers next toslums, traffic is heavy and chaotic, air is polluted, endless cars on thestreets, the public transportation is made of a single monorail line,everything else is on the unusable side for a foreigner. Taxis are more of ascam as well - most refuse to drive with a counter. Tuk-tuk's more often thannot agree to go only if you overpay them.
There are fewsightseeing spots which are gorgeous, but those are spoiled by the constantscammers too. Pearl shop tuk-tuks, temple is closed clowns,too heavy traffic, only 200 baht drivers and many other kinds of scammers. Ifthe locals are in so bad need for money they can simply tell and I will sparewhat I can. Scamming into the money is going to cause an opposite reaction.
So, no, I am notgoing to Bangkok again and not very willing to go to Thailand again, althoughsmaller cities were much more pleasant.
The next bestcandidate is Vladivostok in Russia.
The city itselfis located in a paradise-like place and this is the case when you can say"Paradise Lost" without a doubt. Absolutely spectacular hills withtiny bays and islands on the shore of the Sea of Japan spoiled by thesoviet-style apartment blocks, absolute lack of sense in architecture, designand pretty much anything what makes your city look good. There are few ArtNouveau buildings and some of them are destroyed by glass annex.
The publictransportation consists of incredibly dirty and cramped buses, which are slowas well, the locals are not super friendly too, so not really an option for atourist. Reminded Bangkok very much.
The city is dirtytoo. You can see drink cans, bottles, papers and what not laying right on theasphalt and no one seem to care too much.
Most sightseeingconsists of numerous soviet monuments, which are as fun as sitting on the couchand observing a wall. There's one place up on the hill where you can see thewhole city or rather the whole paradise-like area destroyed by the city.
Really sad place.

原问题：作为游客，哪个城市或是国家是你再也不会访问的？
不能说永远吧，但是泰国的曼谷是最佳候选城市。
作为一个浅色皮肤的欧洲人，我一直被认为是某种性旅游游客（可我不是）。而且当地人的态度基本上就是想从游客这里骗到钱。幸运的是，大多数“艺术家”们都不太聪明，他们的敲诈或是骗局太过明显一眼就能看穿。有些人还是很好的，但这种人是少数。
曼谷本身也少有干净的角落，大部分地区又臭又脏。摩天大楼就挨着贫民窟，交通拥挤混乱，空气也有污染，街道上永不休止的车流，公共交通只有一条单轨线路，其他的方式都不适合外国人。出租车也有很多骗子，很多都不打表。突突车（三轮摩托）大部分时候只有多付钱才肯走。
景点也没有几个太惊艳的，就这几个仅有的好景点也都被骗子毁了。珍珠商店，突突车，寺庙，交通拥挤，只有200泰铢的司机和许多其他各种骗子。如果当地人真的缺钱可以直接说，我会尽所能给点，但骗钱就是另外一回事了。
所以，不，我再也不会去曼谷了，尽管小城市可能更有趣，但我再也不愿意去泰国了。

下一个候选城市是俄罗斯的符拉迪沃斯托克（海参崴）。
城市坐落于一个天堂般的地方，你可以毫不犹豫的把它称作“失落的天堂”。可是绝美的山景和日本海的美丽岛屿海湾都被苏联式的公寓楼毁了。这些建筑完全没有任何建筑感和设计感，不会给城市增添任何一点美感。有几栋有现代艺术感的大楼，不过这种感觉也都被建筑上的玻璃附件给破坏了。
该城的公共交通是由一些非常脏非常破的公交车组成的，同样也非常慢。当地人也不友好，真不是一个旅游的好去处，让我想起了曼谷。
城市也很脏，你可以看到饮料罐，玻璃瓶，废纸就公然仍在大马路上而没有人管。
城市的景点也大都是数不清的苏式纪念物，那感觉就像坐在椅子上盯着墙看一样有趣。在山上还有一个地方可以俯瞰整座城市，倒不如说是看着整个天堂一般的地区是如何被这个城市毁掉的。
