"even though the airline bans alcohol in economy class on this route, said witnesses."
Having a few is the only thing that makes flying in a sardine can bearable,

just returned from da nang, hoi an, wei, and sai gon. in d a, did not see any grotty rest., plenty of convenience stores, atms, no motor cycles driving wrong way, just walk and they miss you. never saw one accident, but yes they park on sidewalks, as do thais. wide streets clean, lots of roundabouts where traffic flows , not like thailand. hotels cleaner, better fitted and serviced than thai ones in same price range. in hoi an, of course lots of tourist, many of which were viet and chinese. in short, i have to think your post is bs to the max.
coming from Iraq anything would be a major improvement. You sure you were in Vietnam? Thats the total opposite of my experience

In every country the sleeper berth on a train is more expensive than flying.
It's a nice experience.
On seat 61 there is actually a route that takes you from Bangkok to Moscow. The winter pics are stunning. Can jump on and off for short stop overs.
On the bucket list- 1

Back packers seem to make up the majority of tourists. Even in Saigon it was wall to wall with twenty something westerners in all the bars and restaurants.

At last a post that tells it like it REALLy is. So true about the motorbikes flying against the traffic and will be a big wake up call for expats crying about the odd motorbike moving at walking pace on footpaths here. I lost count of the times I was about to cross a road only to have a bike pop up in my peripheral vision doing 60kms the wrong way!!
Vietnam is 20 years behind Thailand with awful infrastructure and the worst health care. Great for a week break or a visa run but thats about it

Of people?
That's extremely dark.
Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
Not in ovens just in planes to a better place or so they keep telling us. And never forget it wasnt about the money because they all have it. It was about the smiles or having to pay double in a national park or some other nonsense ????

No.
You totally lost me just on that.
I've posted several times on several threads specifically spelling out all of the things that have changed.
Big 4?
Guess why?
What are you freakin' talking about?
Don't be shy.
Why do you think?
Instead of insinuating some dark motivations, please MAN UP and explicitly say what your conspiracy theory is about.
Because I can't guess it.
Calm down there big boy nothing to get that upset about. The big 4 are the embassies that stopped issuing letters and most here use that abbreviation. Thats the real reason some are leaving because the pensions never even came close to 65k. An ozzie mate showed me his pension which currently comes in at 39k on yesterdays exchange. He will leave without a big dramatic thread on TV
The 800k changed with some seasoning and NOT a reason to run. Combo not know yet..
All these threads saying "Im gone thailand can suck it " followed by "I have the money but....." its all complete BS
Its a good cleanse because its the poor that make up most of the bad noise about Thailand on TV especially because they are miserable always living on the edge and no spare cash to buy what they specifically came here for. BYE BYE ????

I dont get it. Nothing has changed much. 800k and 65k
Lots of threads popping up like this followed by lots of back slapping etc by people that are still living here. What a miserable bunch of old gits
All these threads are 100% from the big 4 and no need to guess why
Stupid posts saying Im leaving because I dont get smiles!! try getting one back home where you WILL get a snarl if you smile directly at a stranger especially if its a girl half your age.
The current cleansing is good and I dont care if 90 or 19 if you dont have any money then you should never of had expat dreams

Thailand is a nasty vicious dangerous country for white folk, I wouldn't even recommend it for a two week holiday.
The neighbouring countries are almost all more welcoming and safer these days.
If it weren't for my house and son, I wouldn't be here either.
take them with you, rent your house.

Its tourism industry sadly will be seriously effected . It was up 400% over the last several years and was a real alternative to bali and Thailand

Not without health insurance. Thats the first thing and if you think 800k is expensive just wait until your stroke bill after 2 weeks in ICU !

what hotel is that sounds like a good deal?
"For about two weeks off the year in many tourist areas maybe demand already does outstrip supply but for the rest off the 6 month tourist season it’s massive oversupply.
I know off a hotel that 3 years ago was selling rooms 4500 bht dec,jan,feb and was full most of the time last 2 years they now selling rooms 2500 bht and cannot get 100% occupancy apart from the Christmas two weeks."
No link? so much BS on here you just have to laugh
Strong growth from key markets compensate for slight dip in Chinese tourists
