Donald Trump is still winning, one hundred days in
This is true. The underlying cause of inflation is the Fed printing money, providing cheap loans and the resultant rampant consumer spending. This really took off under Obama who oversaw Quantitative Easing kicking off, ie the Fed pumping large amounts of money into the system. The interesting thing is that if Trump does make consumer products a lot more expensive then rampant consumer spending will of course end and inflation will, after a brief spike due to higher prices obviously, eventually go down. -

Travel Bangkok Ranks 6th Among World's Most Expat-Friendly Cities
A big factor is culture. In Thailand you can go get a 150 baht massage, eat a cheap meal, flirt with chicks in a shop then go back and have a swim. Then go to night market. The west does not have that culture. -

Travellers Vent Frustrations Over Soaring Costs, Two-Tier Pricing, and Cannabis Concerns
It's still a cheap place for a holiday. Double pricing has declined a fair amount from when I first visited Thailand, or maybe because I speak more This they don't try it as much not sure.. Personally it doesn't bother me that much regarding the national parks extra charge, although it does show an issue/inconsistency with being very nationalistic but also heavily promoting tourism. The cannabis part annoys me a little, for different reasons then it would possibly for others. Thailand has liberalized a fair amount over the last 2 decades, but not in a good way for most foreigners if you're similar to me. Same sex marriage is now allowed. Cannabis legal. Drinking culture has increased. All things I have no interest in. Obviously if any liberalizing was going to happen it would have been nice to get a realistic route to permanent residency. Maybe some protection rights for foreigners. But no, in that regard things have got worse if anything making Thailand not a suitable long-term option. Still ok for a holiday, aside from the road carnage, increasing air pollution, and that you could be jumped and the perpetrators will tell the police they were 'protecting fellow Thais' and give a little wai before walking off scot- free, and with it reducing around 99% of the potential 'quality tourists' the TAT keeps droning on about. -
