Yes, they say that to me too ad nauseam, you are a handsome man. But I am rather doubtful by nature.

Big C now cheaper than expat shops
Recently I bought pumpkin seeds at Villa Market and paid Thb 175 for 250 grams there, the same day I visited Lotus and there saw 250 grams of pumpkin seeds for Thb 69. Also fresh salmon, V.M kg price Thb 750/kg, at Lotus Thb 650/kg. Many times expat shops are very expensive.

Drowning Deaths in Thailand Average 10 Per Day — Working-Age Adults Most at Risk
If you also look at the warnings being ignored on the beaches, especially on Phuket, where I used to be able to look at the beach daily in Patong, I am not surprised by this.

EMail address blocked
Don't understand why there are still people using Hotmail accounts, many companies refuse Hotmail accounts, it is much better to use an email account from your provider, they are always accepted.

Thai Import Duties On Wine
That is pertinently not true, I myself have been drinking Mont Clair for more than 10 years, whether you like it or not is irrelevant now but some 8 years ago those packs were available in 3, 5, and 10 ltr. For the 5 ltr packs you paid 995 THB, for the 3 ltr around 600 THb. and for the 10 ltr around 1800 Thb. Now for the past 4 or 5 years, I have been paying 995 THB for those 3 ltr packs and it has remained the same all these years, until today. It is also still important to pay attention to the alcohol percentage, Mont Clair is 12%, of the wines where the price has been reduced a bit, almost all are wines with a lower alcohol percentage. That's my referention points!

Phuket Faces Waste Crisis as Garbage Piles Up
Yes indeed, 15 years ago they complained the incinerator could no longer handle the quantity. So why are they going to complain now? Maybe new management new problem, until they too are replaced...

Thailand's Future at Risk: Education and Job Woes Loom
I would agree with you were it not for the fact that I do not have much faith in the intelligence level of the incumbent. After all, they have that same “education”.

Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
It is coincidental, that I also did about 15 years ago, first to Bkk/Phuket hospital, they referred me straight to Bangkok because they didn't have the laser equipment on Phuket then. But stubborn as I was, I had my doubts and went for a “second opinion” to the “International Hospital” also on Phuket, and that doctor couldn't find anything! He requested me to come to his private clinic in the evening, where he had different equipment and could look at it better, but the opinion remained negative. In the meantime, I had informed the insurance company in Europe and they arranged an appointment plus tickets for the next day in Bangkok, where it turned out I did have a detached retina. Total cost then 10000 Thb.

Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
My experience is that since the tsunami some private hospitals, and especially one that has several hospitals across the country has raised its prices in an absurd manner, and as I had to use these hospitals from time to time, I can confirm that those high prices have always remained, and as I mentioned earlier you even had to negotiate for a lower price. Totally ridiculous. How could that be anyway.

Thailand Eyes Passenger Fee Hike to Fund Airport Upgrades
Indeed, I am sorry to say but it does indicate again the intiligence level of the Thai elite. Yes I know the money they do have, (although airport can't improve them?) But using brains that is mostly too much to ask.

Instant Savoury Delight: French Salami Debuts in Thai 7-Eleven
Yes indeed, crazy prices, but what do you expect from CPF, all insane prices. Eat ham almost daily, but with those absurd prices, I started making it myself, affordable and tastier. Similarly with bacon, I also now make it myself. Previously you could buy reasonably priced paté´'s at BigC, sourced from Carrefour, but that too has disappeared and....make it myself now, but a bit more difficult.
