Think you're suffering from amnesia, mate! I've been here for 20 years and the price for all beer has gone up. In the resort where I live, a bottle of Tiger beer used to cost 60 - 65 baht in a bar - now it's pretty much a standard 80 baht in most bars. Same for "farang" food - a pack of pomelo used to cost 35 baht in my local supermarket - now it's well over 100 baht. The price for Thai food has also increased - but not by as much, I will agree on that. The price for bottled gas has gone up from 300 baht to almost 500 baht, so I think your memory is playing tricks! However, I agree with you regarding rental prices - they have remained pretty constant, but don't forget that 20 years ago we were getting 70+ baht to the British pound, so a 10k monthly rental cost you app £140. Nowadays, at today's rate of 44 baht to the British pound, it costs you £238!

So do I - especially whenever "TAT" is involved!

And 70+ to the British pound instead of 40+ as it stands now!

"High - Brid"?

"The unabashed conduct of the couple has raised concerns about Pattaya's image as a tourist destination." Is that being said "tongue in cheek" and if so - whose cheek? 🙂

"but almost nobody voted for what he is actually doing." As happened in the UK with SIR Keith "All - ALL pensioners will be better off under Labour" Starmer - all lies and deceit!

You were confused as to what I meant so I had to show you what you had posted in its entirity, but don't worry you are on my "Ignored" list, so I don't have to see your duplicate posts of the OP any more! (P.S. You were the one who said "Try again"! )

Your post:- Photo and all of the text of the post to say:- "Bad luck, but that is the risk in that game" Bad luck, but that is the risk in that game I

Think and look at your post again!

You really don't have to copy and paste the full post and phtographs to reply to it, you know!

"This shop seller is either naively and perhaps even innocently ignorant, or just doesn't care - as others have pointed out, thats entirely their prerogative - but its also understandable that in such situations others may become insulted." Exactly as the text of the post says - she is within her right to sell whatever shirts she wants, whether they feature Hitler or Osama Bin Laden, so she doesn't care about other people's feelings - just about the money she makes from selling them. As another poster pointed out, I wonder how she would feel if she had lost a loved one in for instance, a car accident, and somebody printed a tee shirt of the disaster scene accompanied by some crass comment, and put it on sale to the public?

I looked like he was the one being accosted - with a smile on his face too. And not all of these shop owners are "scraping a living"!

Convicted criminal President of the USA - never thought I'd see the day! Shows the mentality and moral standards of some people.
