moogradod 1249 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think it is a good idea in case the money is used wisely. This is not because of the (relatively low) amount per case - unnoticeable for the usual tourist - but because of the amount as a whole. Millions x one = One x Millions. It is the number of visitors that makes this idea attractive. It is by far less than my wife spends on the lotterie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but there's 27 pages worth on the results of a quick search (and we know how reliable the search on here is! - not an Asean Now issue per se, it's the software used) in 6 threads and that was only when it was a proposal. https://aseannow.com/search/?q="300 baht"&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=18&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles Could be worse, could be about another 10 Bht raise for taxis at Swampy 555 Edited January 11 by Salerno Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
