February - is that normally "holiday season" for Westerners then?

February is high season for westerners visiting Thailand. No rain for a start.

Many westerners give Xmas holidays the flick in order to visit other countries in February.

But thanks for your superior posts, it makes me realise just how lucky I am not to know you. Cheers

Thai hotels are one of the few things that are still cheap.

Cheap, expensive hotels?

It all depends on your disposable income and what you expect to get for your money.

3 nights on a private island in a movie/rock star's house is cheap to some and out of reach for the vast majority.

Some people expect 4 cans of beer in the mini bar and free peanuts, some expect a couple of bottles of 'bolly' and free caviar.

If you provide 5 star food and service in an advertised 3 star place you're very likely to get away with it. If you provide 3 star food and service in a 5 star advertised place you will likely fall on your ass business wise.

Aaaaah...doesn't matter!
Tourism is only a tiny- teenie fraction of the ever growing Thai- economy!
Who cares!?

1/5 is not a tiny - teenie fraction
