Agoda is showing some much lower prices at Swissotel, about half their usual rate

frankly, I think it affects hundreds of thousands, maybe more,

there is a massive all cash market that the tourists float to the lower echelon thais.

that never sees the official count and never hits anyone's books and records.

these people are 100% dependent on tips, and tourists/

this also doesnt count the push cart vendors, and even the tee short vendor, who is putting kids to school, etc.

thailand will need a massive bailout,

and if that happens, real reforms will be forced on the population, as well as a real tax system,

the elite will have had their day in the sun

or in this case,

their day in the a/c

buying property?

after all the propping up of the real estate market has top cycled?

gaga,

what guys do when they walk into a room and see a woman in lingerie?

they go,

"gaga"

and she's no lady

When it hurts the hip pocket things get done, Still got along way to go up the tree before the people at the top are really affected. Dictatorship may not occur as one of the real elite may not want to get involved. The elite are still in the top paddock gorging themselves.

Dictator has real power which no one is prepared to give up.

Thailand has piled on massive consumer debt, as well as public debt,

this is a new ingredient in this puzzle

people's cost of living is much higher than a decade ago,

and their debt burdens are growing,

this will affect the elite, as, they will not have customers

taxi drivers will be unable to make their monthly expense,

hotels were at 30% when I was there in january

this is much uglier than reported

Well you can thank suthep for all of this. if he had kept his word (which he did not) in the beginning whenthe Pm dissolved Parliment non of this would have happened. But he is just too greedy and wants to be the supreme commander of Thailand in a dictatorship similar to North Korea

Give it a rest. TV have announced a zero tolerance policy on blatant propaganda.

Why do you think the former disgraced PM dissolved parliament? Perhaps if PTP had acted honestly and within the law none of this wouldn't have happened?

Stop trying to blame others for the real cause, which everyone here knows.

I'm confused... what does everyone here know? (Are you talking about the known knowns, the known unknowns, or the unknown unknowns?) I think you need to be a little more specific with your inanity.

ok Rummy

star?

after garter?

not well versed on the accessories, just their efficient removal.

if 2013 was a bad year, it can not be tied in to the protests, in any way,

it is more likely that DEBT is the culprit

been to Laos 3 times

the exchange rate from Baht was substantially less than it was from dollars

garters

I wouldnt be so fast to dismiss trouble in Pattaya and other tourist destinations as not having a ripple effect, to mean,

if thousands of bar workers and others reliant on the free flowing ATMs of sex pats suddenly dissapears

CRIME will explode,

and who will it affect most?

Thais with money are the second target,

after what is left of the white man

Doctrine?

(You got me there. I did not know so I googled it. I still unsure about it.)

I should have written,

'outed!"

plain view is actually two words, but its pronounced together, for example,.

our lustfull words were out, in plain view!

I am on a very popular island right now. It's literally a ghost town. Incredible. Bands playing to empty venues. Not a person there enjoying the music. I feel sorry for the locals.

Indeed - I have been called a fool for saying this would happen too. And much sooner than many may think possible.

I've seen some mock 'empty threats' of leaving LOS, and I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

I'm in KL for a visa to go back one more time, so I may get my belongings, and then I am off...

I think I'll check back in with this site for entertainment purposes, from time to time in the next couple of years.

And I'll of course add my visa experience to your blog when I find out the results of that.

Ladies and gents, there are other hot countries to explore (some with no ridiculous property / aircraft ownership laws too), also with nice beaches... Just a shame there is not a national sport of Muay Thai there also (the original reason for my coming to LOS).

This visa & military mess is going to hit the Thai everyday people so bad - Patong was a joke last Sat night. Not been in a year and it was a shadow of its former self, in terms of numbers of people.

And it is going to get much worse.

Bye 'yall...

well, at least give some of us a heads up on the new upcoming places to consider moving too, where the US Dollar is strong, and we can still get massages for $3.00

exposed!

all of us

I didnt say I was going there, atlhough, I have heard it is now THE destination

The baht is a VERY local currency, and even Thailands closest neighbors don't want it.

Laos wants US greenbacks,

Vietnam, same

Baht can maybe go to 34-35, but thats it,

no one really cares about it

And know doubt the economy will suffer like hell the rich will get richer the poor will be a lot poorer and the baht will get weaker but should the latter happen I will not complain more baht in my pocket !

what websites do you guys use for up to date BAHT exchange?

salivation

Meanwhile, is there any sign of thinning protest groups, or, are they growing?

HAs the price of the soapy massage gone down yet?

Bars closing down in Pattaya?

I dont suppose the bar girls have much saved in the bank,

It sounds like the entire food chain in Thailand will feel this, all the way up to the indebted families up north.

The pinch will soon give way to a flood of blood as hungry people start stealing, from their neighbors
