Here we go. Backpackers out, quality tourists in. That these places are cheap compared to western standards is irrelevant. This is Thailand. With the same argument you could say, why rice with chicken is 40 Baht only, raise it to 200.

You are basically saying tourist should pay 10-20 times more. Less tourists , less rubbish.😗 Talking about locals, aren't expats locals but still pay the farang price?

I guess it depends on the office. My office told me they will fine me if i don't report after having stayed 24 hours in another province

Wait for Musk's son Techno Mechanicus 😁 This name alone makes him the born president😇

Market prices for coffee and chocolate have increased significantly due to weather and supply chain issues.

You could argue they are too busy tracking every step of expats who live in Thailand for many years without any criminal record whatsoever.

A German magazine commented: It is the script of a TV show host who is experienced in staging. Trump had the conditions for a deal dictated to him by Putin: Ukraine must vacate all provinces in the east, no NATO troops can be stationed in Ukraine, and Ukraine must be demilitarized. Since Putin is not well-regarded as a deal partner even in the U.S., Trump can only sell this deal to his country if he humiliates Ukraine and portrays it as ungrateful and disgusting.

for any voluntary work is a work permit required AFAIK

well, they give good advice, saying stay at home, don't do outdoor activities😆

There's a double test kit for I think 79 Baht, testing for Covid and Influenza. I got the flu,too.

In The Beach the movie it says: Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, it's probably worth it. The only downer is, everyone's got the same idea. We all travel thousands of miles just to watch TV and check into somewhere with all the comforts of home. And you gotta ask yourself......What is the point of that? Well, I did watch movies in the evenings in Pai 20 years ago 😁, was quite relaxing actually. But okay, there were just a handful of people who watched with me.

Pricewise for rct? Can't see a price list on the website.

Nope. No rural life at all, apartment in the city; Big C, Tesco, Robinson are here. Lived on 20k for some years. It still can be done. But if you want more comfort, a good health insurance and enjoy western food and lots of traveling, 30 k is the least.

Kamphaengphet. You can walk around without seeing any farang.

My first salary as a teacher was 20k. In the province, not BKK. The apartment 2k plus water/energy. You can definitely live on 20k.
