  1. With less tourists but higher costs not likely in the near future.
  2. This would actually 'improve travel convenience', so not likely to happen.
  3. If Thailand wants to be the hi-so tourism spot for drugs, shouldn't they have gone for cocain and ecstacy rather than marihuana?
  4. All the baby mice are needed to feed the school kids, so what's left for the travellers are only flies...
  5. A hell of a timing to go 'upmarket'. Is that in preparation to an announcement that there are fewer tourists because 'Thailand became an upscale destination'?
  6. Statistically, Asean Now is the best website in the world! Jing!!
  7. Dual pricing, especially 5x or 10x the price of a local tells me that I'm not wanted in this place, so I don't bother. If it were, say, 40 baht for tourists and 20 baht for locals, I wouldn't mind, but 10x is clearly a ripp-off.
  8. I feel sorry for Thailand. I mean, can you get anyone worse in a government?
  9. Always a good idea to visit the dependencies from time to time. Perhaps talk the government into taking some loans, with the use of Satthahip for the Chinese navy as a guarantee...
  10. Still, the seller may have had a split second, when she pondered to charge an extra 10 baht for "some pork"...
  11. The kids are supposed to pay only 20 baht or so for their school lunch. With rising food costs, I can imagine that sellers cut costs and just sell "dirt" (or the lowest quality of food they can get) to the them...
  12. I once saw the half&half baby chicken & egg variety eaten by people right next to me. My appetite was gone... I'm sure there is also half duck & egg. Is baby mouse perhaps a delicacy in parts of the Northeast? I wouldn't bet against it.
  13. Baby chicken in egg was sold out... ????
  14. 1.27 trillion / 100,000 = twelve million seven hundred thousand gold necklaces (100,000 baht each)?? ????
  15. And this information is based on... ?
  16. So far this year less than 2 million tourists. They could always claim that the Thai year has 24 months...
  17. Actually, at the current exchange rate it is comparable to $2.85 in the U.S. Wonder, if inflation ever declines to 2-3% and the Ukraine war is over, such price increases will, partly, be reversed, but I guess not...
  18. Fortunately, not needed entering Oz from next week on. I'm still trying to figure out if I'll need it entering Singapore, or NZ (after a longer stay in Oz)...
  19. Explosions in the Russian city of Belgorod today, Russians blaming Ukraine. - An escalation in the cards...
  20. Monday is the 4h of July. Please report back.
  21. First, they said they wanted hi-so people and celebrities (e.g. Oliver Stone, Emma Stone, Sharon Stone), but now they changed their strategy to attracting stoned tourists instead...
  22. I usually have pens on me. But this was a short trip from Thailand, and I had just forgotten to take a pen.
