Gotta understand really really rich people fly their entertainment to a destination of their choice ????

Your wife is what I see as a classic Thai beauty, and as I recall in maybe last year's photo she has retained her looks as classic Thai beauties do. Well done lovely story.

Especially if you have a wife there ????

During covid there has been a whole new set of travellers come of age. These are people of the present not the past and they may well fancy a trip to Thailand. 500 baht is not going to influence their decision in the slightest, they are looking for the Thailand experience. It is really sad that there are those who continually run Thailand down, usually people who must have long forgotten their first visit and the jaw dropping newness. Tourists will still choose Thailand, despite the best efforts from those for whom it has apparently lost its allure.

Covid has contributed to 10%+ beneficial rise in the exchange rate I guess that should about cover it!!

No surprise, the mechanics of funding the country germinate the methodology. Its a valid charge as infrastructure improvements which benefit tourists do cost millions Of course 500 baht maybe a step too far for some, the price of a beer or three a reason not to holiday in Thailand, just who these paupers are will no doubt become clear. Might I suggest just a handful of miserable people who put principle before common sense

Not really I get a notification every time money is taken from my accounts, I have an approval method on my phone also. All my COE Flight info quarantine data covid tests, held on my phone. I think you guys don't wish to see the obvious benefits, in fact reading your posts it would appear you have a similar affliction regarding Thailand.

Good read Rooster, I fall into the let the wife sort it category. Small bank letter issue at my first immigration year extension application, so a quick trip back to the Bank to rectify. A few minutes of discussion then my wife calls the immigration officer. Hands the phone to the bank manager. Discussion as to what would be acceptable all sorted.

On both counts I think, most get married for sex and to spend the non sex time with someone they enjoy being around.

I think you missed out the part "with sufficient funding" to sustain a long term relationship. A guy can behave as you say but he better have the means to back it up or he is on the back foot from the start!! On so many levels actions tend to speak louder than words in Thailand

Wake up to new day is the secret, yesterday will not be dragged into today unless you do it ????
