Hay everyone.

I recently moved to Pattaya and already I can see how aggressively prices are rising in all areas.

I have heard many people talking about Asean and the open borders to other countries in 2015 4q

What will be the effect on prices in Pattaya? Primarily food, transport, labour (plumbers ect) and lady asking prices

Thanks

Can you show me how AGGRESSIVLEY,prices are increasing recently ???????

Unless you are talking about a russian go-go bar or walking st hookers

10% increase on everything.

Dont forget its a 2 way thing......for every one that comes, one may go......shouldnt really have much of an effect. If anything with free trade agreement certain items should be cheaper. Prices in Thailand have increased but mainy due to minimum wage requirements, subsidies, tax increases and normal inflation.

10% increase on everything.

Really? Like to know where you shop.

The OP is right. Prices are aggressively increasing. But it's not a recent occurrence. I believe the reason is Thai greed, not economic factors.

It seems most Thais won't work unless you pay larger amounts of money. Negotiation just gets you ignored

I guess many them (including the girls) are just waiting for the unsuspecting tourist these days.
