Baht's Biggest Surge Since 1998 Poses Risk to Tourism And Exports
True - BUT - Expats marry/befriend a LOT of Thai girls/whatever and help their families. PLUS - Expats buy a lot of Apartments - or buy Houses for the Thai Wife - and cars/bikes. AND - Even if there is only 150K of them here (still?) that equates to about 150 Billion Baht - or about 3 million 'quality' Tourists (as per TAT stats). If there are 300K it totals 300 Billion Baht or 6 million quality tourists. Expats are not worth keeping here year after year after year??? -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
The US requires the "defenders of freedom" to add 15% to the consumption - compulsory. As earlier on said, the VAT applies to all businesses with a turnover over a certain amount (THB 1.6 mio. as far as I remember), below that VAT does not apply. Service charge is not compulsory; yet if it is on the menu, then you get charged for it - alternatively vote with your feet and dine elsewhere. -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
I sgree the price shown on the menu should be inclusive. Many esablisments do not pass the gratuities to the staff. Customer should decide if food and service good then tip accordingly. -

The annoyance of the ++ prices
I'd always assumed it was an American import - I remember my chagrin at what felt like deception during my first US trip when I found out all the prices in the supermarkets were incorrect - what you actually pay at the checkout has state and some sort of federal tax added. Coming from a country where the price you see is the price you pay, it seems like a very strange, unnecessarily complicated practice - please just tell me what the thing actually costs ffs, life is complicated enough! -
