Again clearly a comment from a brainless person and their eyes closed. Tons of places anywhere in Vietnam, nothing expensive either. When is the last time you went to a real city in Thailand? Like Bangkok? Lol. 

 

If you actually want to see real over priced prices, go to the south of Thailand. Easier to bash on that.

You have totally mis understood what I said, please read again..Vietnam is fantastic and was there recently,.m observation was FOREIGN business owners charging at least double what the locals do.. exactly what they did in Thailamd

I'm not being serious, it's fun to predict the end of times.   Looking at this chart, America had a severe housing crash in 2008.   This has to trickle down to China, Russia, and India.  Of course, maybe it doesn't.  So let's just see.  When the million-dollar homes in Cali are priced at $600,000, let's see if that affects Asia.  Currencies are too hard to predict.  I do think I'll see 50:1 USD to Baht before I see 19:1.   Now it's around 32.50.   

 

not one person has a clue, especially with China invading Taiwan on December 11th, 2025.

 

OMG, Redacted!!!!!!!!   Act like you didn't read that!!!!    

 

Note:  I was in Thailand in 2010 and saw first hand the protests.  I really don't remember 07,08 or 09 and what affect that had on tourism.

37 million is a nice, manageable amount, in my opinion.

Whether I be taxi ripoffs as soon as you leave the airport or collapsing buildings it all comes down to greed and corruption so tourists are opting for safer, enjoyable destinations, and considering the fact that the greed and corruption starts at the very top there’s not much chance of things changing any time soon, unfortunately ,

 

Yes, and, strangely, these factors are hardly ever mentioned as reasons for declining tourist numbers. Instead it's 'kidnappings', 'poor economic conditions in other countries', or 'border disputes'... If they cannot even acknowledge decade-old scams, ever changing visa policies, etc., as reasons for stagnating tourism income, how can they ever solve this?

"Thailand's tourism sector is reeling as foreign visitor numbers slide. From January 1 to June 22, there was a 4.24% drop in arrivals compared to the same time last year, revealed by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports."

 

Must be breaking TAT's heart having to show a DROP in numbers!
