    And yet as it become more and more difficult to play by the rules, we are consistently reminded by our fellow TV members that using agents is "hassle free" and no need to worry about pesky little issues like money in the bank or income letters.  
    Perhaps they should turn a critical eye on their own IOs.  Well, when pork takes wing.  

     

    no-one would be in this situation (new rules nightmares) if immigration had cleaned their own house in the first place, but as i said in my last post it's not gonna happen. vested interests, the thai way of always targetting the demand rather than the supply and the fact that the agents must be paying someone on the inside or it couldn't happen!

    Tourism can go down. They will just further raise prices, as food, normal massages and many things got more expensive here without considering the THB. I just do not get the logic. Less demand, prices rise.

     

    did you read the OP?

     

    prices are going down! price wars between hotels

    Both small and large size hotels were struggling to stay afloat with a price war being waged to attract what tourists there are - rooms are being offered at 30-40% less than normal, she said.

    Marketing manager at the Chiang Mai Orchid Hotel Watcharaporn Jongphaophan confirmed the bad news saying that bookings were 30% down and that rooms previously priced at 1,400 baht were now offered for 900 baht. 

     

    There is also a group tour package for 9 rooms for 8,888 baht, she said.

    No chance. A completely doped up sport. Lance not so strong tainted the sport and it will never be the same. Maybe those that like this type of cheat plagued sport do not mind cheating and getting unfair advantages in others also.

     

     

     

    actually the reason the racing is so good this year (and the last 2) is because, post EPO and TUE's, the field of riders is much closer now and they now have bad days too.

     

    finally the best riders are winning not the ones with the best "doctors"

     

    negativity aside.. loving it this year, can't wait for the alps

     

    go on G not over yet mate!

    Like scrap yards in a residential area

     

    yep, some guy out in the country near me has got a beautiful 2 rai plot with 2 villas on it and lovely gardens.

     

    now they are building what looks like a giant factory next to it. i totally feel for the guy, worst nightmare, it runs the length of his property and is only 1 meter from his wall. got to be 8 meters tall. and as if to rub the salt in.. the carpark is on the other side, no consideration at all ????
