Hi, I have a question that has been on my mind for sometime now. How is it that prices don't seem to rise as fast here in Thailand as they do back home (UK)?
I exclude rent, which I know works to a different dynamic everywhere than general inflation and relies solely on local market conditions. My rent here hasn't risen in 2 years. Goods and services however are linked to the world economy.
The west has been ravaged by inflation recently that doesn't seem to be the case in Thailand. Prices in the supermarket for example have been flat, in my experience over the past 2 years. I don't buy too many imported goods, I really don't need them. I try to buy local which is always cheaper anyway.
As I'm writing this I'm thinking perhaps it's because Thai farmers and producers can supply demand but surely they are not immune to external factors.

Being first and the only bike in your lane at the lights is a dangerous place to be. Especially on Sukhumvit. Seek cover from stationery cars in the adjacent lane if you can. If exposed, keep your eyes on the rearview mirrors and be prepared to gun it.
