As an expat here. I am bringing over less money now, not because I'm poorer or the exchange rate is bad. Just watching and waiting on the tax situation. Spending more of my money on holidays outside of Thailand. Laos and Vietnam gain at Thailands expense.
I can't be the only one .
Agree many shops always seem over staffed, not sure about Big C or Makro as there is never anyone on our check outs, in Sattahip.
