Seen most of the prices significantly up,I wonder what went down. The price of hot air maybe.

Then don't buy it at that price, it's bad for your health anyway. The cost price of a can of coke is maybe 5 baht, including transportation. It's idiotic marketing costs and profit margins that drive prices up. Sheer greed, nothing less.

My wife is.

'Bye bye' to CP would be a blessing, seen the corruption, pollution, ability to change laws, and income disparity kept in check by them . Companies like CP are parasites, sucking society dry through cheap labor, greed, profit. The old chestnut of job creation is flawed when Thailand needs millions of migrant workers.

No, I dont think companies would voluntarily do that. But I woukd applaud it.

Must have at least 500,000 followers on Insta or Facebook.

Raise to a 1,000 a day, collect income tax and improve society. CP's, and the likes of CP, profit margins are criminal

I feel that a lot of parents have already refinanced their properties. Financial institutions are actively preying on the gullible villagers to put their lands in the bank for some quick cash. Big problem for the next generation, who will be caught in the middle. Take care of your parents without the necessary heritage.

CM's market took a big hit, partly because of the toxic living environment. Who would want to live there? I love Chiang Mai, don't get me wrong, but all the negative publicity makes it almost impossible to sell your property at the moment.

For average prices, it doesnt matter where you are. Average evens out the differences. We built a house in a village in the north (5 years ago) and are now in the process of building one in the south near the beach and the cost of building a decent but simple house are at least 3 million baht, without land. That is if we can find builders, which is not that easy and straightforward these days.

You buy a garden shed these days for 50,000 pounds. A 2 bedroom apartment goes for 4 million and up, and building a bit of a decent house, land included goes for 5 million baht and up.

Had a look at the Science and math books, compiled by educational 'professors', and wouldn't worry too much about nutrition only. Total gibberish and poorly constructed acadenic word choice (p4 books!). I bought the Singaporean and UK books to supplement.

What a tool, now spending years in a Thai prison I assume. Hope for a speedy recovery of the Thai man.

Not more forests please (in Thailand that is)! The more forests, the more clearing.

Government workers and extended family networks indeed

Not being able to vote doesnt mean you cannot have an opinion. This is a forum, you know, an online database where members describe their opinions. Sigh........anything else Herr Knowitall?

I do.

So they are both not suited to be pm.

Pua Thai is master in dirty tricks.

You mean cities west of the Atlantic?

Let's be clear about this, she has zero experience just like her antie didn't. I feel a deal is brokered, where the watchman will become pm and her daddy can return.

A factor yes, primarily no! Fires are.

I just came back from Kyoto and Tokyo and I have never seen it so busy with foreign tourists. Its booming over there, even without Chinese travellers. It took an hour to get through Narita, which usually can be done in 20 minutes or less. International travel is alive and kicking, just not in LOS, the land of smog/scams.

I wonder whether the moon is made of cheese or custard.

If they are armed with lighters, then they have my blessing.
