Hotel Recommendations near AIrport
I am disappointed to learn of the transfer of the Novotel hotel to Hyatt at the airport. Although the place has become rundown, the pricing in part reflected that. Now that Hyatt has the management contract, room rates have increased and breakfast is now 1000 baht+ per person. This used to be my go to hotel for early morning departures and late night arrivals. No more. -

Thailand Moves Toward Cheaper, Smarter Transit System
I've noticed that systems synced to other systems is not a big thing in Thailand, in any scenario. In the time before time, when I asked these questions in a faraway land, a common answer I got was "nobody trusts nobody here". -

Solutions Sought for Dealing with Unruly Tourists in Mae Hong Son
it is not looking down on Thais to point out their habit of littering. There is a soi not far from where I am where flytippers come. Disgusting. people toss their garbage on the beach here and so on. There really isn't a problem with the Chinese. For the most part, I believe that they they have one of the lowest per visitor problem rates for Thailand. How many Chinese do we see or read about getting into fights or shoplifting or murdering people? Have there been any Chinese suicides in the numbers we see with westerners? For those of us who have been around for some years, the claims of crackdown is a tired empty response. It's like traffic law enforcement. On for a few days and then when the coppers get tired of doing a proper job, they revert to their lazy uninterested ways. Where? Be real. The world has changed. Miami Beach it was once the party destination for young people. No more. The city bans the sale of alcohol from corner stores after 10 PM. It increased beach parking rates to discourage some visitors. The Canary Islands and the sun destinations of Spain all have locals harassing tourists and protesting their presence. Venice wants tourists gone. Amsterdam, once the destination for potheads and ravers is implementing visitor capacity restrictions. It wants fewer tourists. And so on. Let's be real, Vietnam and Cambodia have cultures very different from Thailand. As bad as Thailand is, they are worse. The Philippines is a basket case. No partying in Malaysia and Indonesia comes with its own set of dysfunction and perils. Singapore is wonderful, but most can neither afford it, nor are they prepared for the draconian laws. I don't know about that. Whenever I walk by a cannabis shop, the only people I see visiting are 50 + year olds farangs. The Under 30 year olds who smoke cannabis are not coming to Thailand because it is legal. They were smoking cannabis in Thailand long before it was. They are just more visible. Thailand is not as affordable as it was 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. As a result, the under 30 year olds are not staying very long. -
