How stupid is this?

2000 - 3000 baht/night does not guarantee a soft mattress in Thailand. Thais are used to hard mattresses.

We've even had Thai relatives visiting from other towns who have rejected the bed, preferring the floor. Scared of falling out, apparently.

 

Excuse me but... I know that you are not a hillbilly. 

 

So, you still can't find a soft bed in Thailand? 

 

And then, you make the ridiculous claim that Thai people are afraid of falling out of bed? 

 

Didn't any of your teachers ever teach you about the RISKS of making such blanket statements? 

 

Maybe this is why you have been, throughout your life, relegated to just benchwork, instead of more meaningful theoretical work. Or, was it the mathematics that kept you behind? 

 

The thing is, Sir, that Thailand is a very big country. And, if you are willing to pay, there are plenty of soft mattresses, and enough for you. 

 

You just gotta pay for what you want. 

 

In my opinion, this is sort of the problem with chemists like you who come to Asia later in life. You come here for a pedicure, but you are totally unable to assimilate in any meaningful way. 

 

You just want a young thing to worship the rays from your behind, unquestionably. 

 

And... You call your kind of objectification of women, not just Thai women,... LOVE. 

 

Go try your tricks in Taiwan, these days, Baby, now that the living standard is so high, and see just how far you get... 

 

Most young things in Taiwan, even 45-year-olds, would not give you, a guy 75, the time of day. They would snicker, and snicker, for sure. 

 

And, concerning a pedicure, it might cost you more than the price of your suoer-cheap holiday hotel, with your hard bed... 

 

I just hope that you don't fall out of bed, while tossing and turning reading this comment.... 

 

Maybe you should have practiced sleeping on benches, while doing your benchwork, before arriving here....

They used to say similar rubbish as you in the middle ages, to those who rightfully claimed the earth was round and not flat.

Ok. Thank you for your input.

I mean you could have provided a link to back up your claim but no, some weird jibe about the middle ages will do instead, righty ho.

Solly,  but nobody wants to pay more then 3000 THB now for room in Bangkok 5 star hotel. Because in Dubai, Qatar or Abu Dhabi you get at that price. Solly.

 

Are you talking War-discount prices? 

 

Peninsula BKK will run you USD500 per night... 

 

HK will be higher. 

 

This chemist wants to get premium service at backpacker rates. 

 

Never Happen! 

 

The premium hotels with supersoft mattresses, with Thai people falling out of them, charge a premium. 

 

But, seriously, Man.... Have you EVER, in all your born days, ever encountered anyone who was afraid of falling out of bed? 

 

Sure. 

 

In heavy seas. 

If you don't hold on tight, 

You will definitely get thrown from your bunk. 

With a thud...

In today's world, people all want premium quality service at crashed prices, It's the rule of the market. And the market rules at the end of the day. Smart entrepreneurs will follow the trend. Others will collapse.

This was your first and BIGGEST mistake, my friend. 

 

4000 Baht should have been your minimum amount for a room for the night... Unless... You wanted a room in the manger, Biblically speaking. 

 

Personally, I have rarely stayed in a room that cheap. 

 

One time, many moons ago, I stayed in a room that cheap at the YMCA in Honolulu... It was as I had expected. 

 

My advice to you, Sir, is to stop paying money for your subscription to UTUBE, and then save these dimes so that you can, once per year, splurge on a quality holiday with decent accommodation. 

 

Personally, I prefer the Penninsula, either in HK, or elsewhere. 

 

Just, please, don't gripe about ANYTHING when you are not even paying the fair price for a flophouse in most countries. 

 

For some reason, you seem to expect premium service at flophouse prices. 

 

But then, as you have also told us, you expect to get your toenails cut for free, while the woman who loves you... worships the rays from your rear end... 

 

Yes. 

You DID actually say this. 

 

I think you used the word... WORSHIP. 

 

So, anyway, I think that if you want a first class holiday, then you should be willing to pay for it. 

 

Or, are you not only a benchworker, but a backpacker, too? 

 

I haven't heard so much complaining in my life, over nothing, since OddJob got cheated at golphing. 

 

Money talks. 

Nobody walks. 

 

What might happen to you if you ever needed to visit the BIG APPLE? 

 

Nobody, but, nobody, would entertain your complaints there... maybe. 

 

5000 Baht for a cheap room. 

And no free pedicure, too! 

 

 

Currently paying 650 baht/night for a comfortable room close to Walking Street in Pattaya. Not that I find a big flesh market all that stimulating at my age. 

I don't believe in wasting money unnecessarily, but I suppose there will always be pretentious types who somehow think extravagance validates their existence.

I did stay at a Sheraton in New York once on the company dime, $450 a night for a room much less clean than the one I am in now.

My GF is enjoying herself too.

There's not a thing wrong with being careful with money, but, wouldn't the Hilton next to Central Mall be nice. Ocean front rooms are running at 9K/nt. Treat yourself, you're welcome. Oh and the restaurant in the Mall are pretty neat.

FYI, there is a world patent with my name on it. I have published multiple papers in the fields of corrosion science, ion chromatography, and surfactant analysis. I have been a lead speaker at several scientific conferences.

Feel free to keep making dumb assumptions about me.Your attempts at denigration are pathetic.

I can't be bothered responding to the rest of your drivel, IMO you  are senile.

My Scottish ancestry would be apoplectic.

I have stayed in Hilton's on the company dime.

Oddly enough, I did stay at a hotel in Udon Thani, 1100 baht in low season. IMO it was as good as any Hilton.
