  1. Around 10-15k / month. I go out to eat locally with the family 1-2 times  / week in Banchang, Rayong. Choosing between Thai (seafood), Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc.

    Sometimes if it's a special occasion we'll book a table at a fine dining outlet in Pattaya or environs. We'd probably eat out a bit more if the missus didn't enjoy cooking at home most days. Fortunately, most of our favourite local restaurants here have seemingly survived the 'rona. ????

    Erm, the story in the OP.. Perhaps you should go back and read it again, as you have instructed other posters to do.?

     

    At the risk of appearing pedantic; I am cut and pasting directly:

    Back on November 15th at 10pm he went into a neighbor's property to steal ganja plants but was caught and attacked, reported Thai Rath

     

    She said her brother was a widower with an 18 year old son who lived in a shack in her field. 

     

    He had smoked weed since he was a youth.

     

    After the attack he had tried to crawl out of the neighbor's yard but had been kicked until he was badly hurt.

    Was at BKK airport a few days ago at 6am the place was packed to the gills.

    The majority of the 100ś of millions of people in the world who have some money and have traveled, can well afford the price of a plane ticket.  Inflation is worldwide and much less of an inconvenience here.

    As much as the bitter miopic negative folks hate this place, many people worldwide want to come here now.  Lower prices then most places, infrastructure, geographic diversity, entertainment you cannot find in many countries, etc.

    I see 60 to 70%, would be tough to hit 80%.  But, bottom line this place is on the rise big time the numbers will be increasing indefintely in the future.

    Appreciate the positive outlook, but I'm not sure how much recent tourist volume is due to pent-up demand following Covid, and thus short-term only. Factor in rising airfares, inflation, and what will be criminally high energy bills for a lot of countries this Winter, and I'm not sure how long this will last into 2023.

    I mean seriously, If you had that view would you want to go to Thailand ?

    Yep. Looks like the view from Gotemba. Nice place to stay if you enjoy skiing on Fuji.

     

    Air fares have more than doubled since last time I visited in 2019, so not sure how many Thais are actually visiting Japan, as opposed to it being a "most desired" destination described in the OP.  Pretty misleading storyline, tbh..
