I had a friend from my high school days visit me in Bangkok. She flew from Korea after spending some time there. She was complaining about the prices here and how just about everything is more expensive than Korea. She also wasn't impressed with hygiene here, however, she also noted the huge amount of foreigners here compared to Korea.
I dunno. I like the mess and Chaos, but forget about the wealthy foreigner. They would be here by now. Thailand gets the refugees.
