I wonder if the delegates will be charged 'Foreigner Price' at the up market hotels they stay at, you know the ones where they reduce the price for Thais so they can afford to stay there too.

Let's face if, most people take people on their personality and how they they get on,

So PURR-LEEIZE, let's leave all this behind us here in Thailand !!

I heard that the National Parks was going to send a delegate, but when they found it's more than 20 baht, they decided not to go.
