I guess hanging out in front of the donkey show in Tijuana isn't a great way to grade an entire country. I never went to Tijuana.... hanging out where all the American kids were is unlikely to be the best location. I must say I saw some good strip clubs there, maybe to rival Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Some posts using a foreign language have been removed. English is the only acceptable language anywhere on ASEAN NOW, except within the Thai language forum, where of course using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translation of technical terms is permitted in specialty forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, good news for many Thais/Expats who like a quiet beach with cheap hotels. Thailand is better without the masses of tourists, IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYNUFF Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You must realize, Thai officials, in any office, couldnt organise a riot in a mental asylum, as for running a country, thats a laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't, that's unnecessarily pessimistic, although probably an understandable statement given how everyone is feeling right now. But, we can learn from history. And history from after the 1918-20 Spanish flu epidemic shows that everything rebounded quickly and came back stronger than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.....the more I think about this proposed Nov. 1 lifting of the quarantine requirements leads me to believe that the COE and the said COVID insurance attachment will be nil and void as well......????? Kinda makes sense, doesn't it? ???? But then we're dealing with wishy-washy Thai officialdom, aren't we? BTW - I also gone through these procedures a couple of times already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages are the same they were 10 years ago give or take a few baht. But prices have tripled. Tourists came but never returned because duel pricing, high prices, and being ripped off. There lucky to have us expats around picking up the slack. And that´s the main reason for the bath staying high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
