owever what does bug me are those who come on here and rewrite their own history.  There are some on here who I know, or have known personally, who write these wonderful and oh so positive stories of success about themselves but in real life are the exact opposite.  They are blatant liars who have failed at everything they have done and have only got by through leeching off others.  The biggest problem is they are so caught up in their own bull they start giving false advice to others which, if not dangerous, may at least lead to a total waste of peoples time, energy, or finances. 

Face book is the same. Everyone saying how amazing their life is,amazing partner, amazing children, amazing career. But I know these people and its all BS. A few exes would spend a "comfort"  night with me when they we're fighting with hubby and a week later would be back on FB with amazing family story's lol

Nothing wrong with the lounge?? Food is ghastly and cold. The white wine is a “selection of wines” or if you want red then you have to drink Montclair. Both are the cheapest of the cheapest unpalatable cr?p. Last time we had the pleasant company of whaling kids running amok in the lounge. It’s free, yes, then again, who would pay for this?

semi warm small  cans of Thai beer and just a dreadful experience , the worst lounge experience in decades of bussines travel

I use to have a Thai Airway's gold card. Never had a bad Trip. Their partner lounge in Sydney was air air new Zealand

Their wine selection was to die for , needles to say I got their very very early

I love Thai. Never had any problems booking on their website. Flew premium economy recently to my home country. Could recede my seat to a full lie down bed. Food was great, service also excellent. More expensive than their normal tickets, but not as expensive as business class. I think their regular economy class is alright too, better than the budget airlines, decent seat space and you dont have to buy everything like in the budget airlines. 

great info just checked  for flight to oz only 13 k with tax I need a hip replacement so sitting for 9 hours not an option , how tall are you ?

Naam no you either did not read, or you do not understand.  Irrespective of any other items here in Thailand that are inexpensive, when the THB is strong the price of imported products costs the importer less and hence prices should fall.  That has nothing to do with taxes, or domestically produced products. 

Thais will never drop price eg they would rather leave a condo empty than give a good rental discount

The only way is up

Chinese tourists in Thailand are the lower-income type

This is a TV myth that is endlessly repeated until it becomes fact. Master card gave out stats last year showing Chinese are in fact good Spender's

No...you always draw the short line in Thailand being a Farang!!! You should know that.

More and more forreigners will leave Thailand...I am sure of it. For sure if you do NOT have a Thai wife/partner.

 

I for my part do NOT  intend to stay long..neither will my Chinese GF. We are allready discussing the matter.

 

Hans

you're profile says you live in Germany and Thailand so your no expat !!

Bit silly statement ! Plain and simple, if your wife wont go out and work - even as a gate guard for 12,000 baht a month to help out in the time the exchange rate is bad - then you married the wrong one. They are the stupid ones - not those with wives who marry and WILL help out. I have many friends with Thai wives who work to help out - great really having time to yourself and her having some money to spend. I've had many bargirls in my time - like most of us - but I married a school teacher - someone who has worked all their life and I can rely on. Bar girls are for fun - not great for marriage - and yes, I know some are different, but not many will go out and look for work after marriage. 

No way they going to work in 7/11 or gate guard

Not sure how you're school teacher is relative to my post

What's silly about my statement , your actually agreeing with me

Does Thailand offer an international DL?

Serbs - Orthodox and Slavs. Usually allied with the Russians.

 

Croats - Catholics who allied with the Nazis against the Serbs; hatred runs deep.

 

Bosnian - Muslims, many of whom also allied with the Nazis. 

 

I had quite a few friends and relations peacekeeping over there. Interesting and horrifying stories. Not nice to one another at all; but can be charming to outsiders.

 

 

Great summary. My father was nearly stabbed to death by a Croat when migrated to oz

It's true the hatred was extreme

Yeah, but I can't speak Serbian.

Serbian is to easy and within a month would learn enough to get by. Belgrade of course has basic English in tourist areas

You can probably get something even cheaper in Serbia and last I heard you can get residency based on that as long as they see you're actually living in it. 

And you could bump into the latest resident Yingluck in one of the hi so hotels on the Danube. Serbia is also very cheap , yes including renting a home or girl/boy and has  great food 

Google food for foreigner. 2 kg mature oz Cheddar around 550b including postage
