Oh well, its only money to us Farang. Its the poor Thais I feel sorry for. I'll make sure I fill up before the 31st anyway.
We'll just have to wait and see if they go through with it - be sure, there will be protests if they do.

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
It's really not worth arguing about - they only give us pension rises based on facts, in the same way as they take it away. From a few days into April, my pension is increasing, and it isn't increasing because of zero inflation.

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
No, but the question, 'Has your' infers what has happened, not what will be happening. In the last 12 months, inflation must have averaged a similar number over the period. If inflation falls over the next 12 months, they could take money off us - it has happened before. Sh*t happens. Any reduction ...

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
I can't believe that. Why are ex-Civil Servants getting a 6.7% pension increase if prices have fallen?

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
Thank you. Cheese is something we gave up on a long time ago as too expensive. We had a period of buying it for our dogs, but even that stopped just over a year ago. Definitely a luxury item in the BB household these days. We buy very little fish, and when we do, that would usually be market bought,...

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
Our Makro shop is always over 5,000 baht and we get very little here for that. In Aldi or Lidl in the UK, you'd get two trolley's worth of food for a hundred plus quid. I've been reading this thread, and the thing that really surprises me is that you can actually spend 5,000฿ on just food in a sing...

Re: Indian restaurants in Hua Hin
So from people who have tried say three or even all of them, which is the best tasting out of Kwality, Mukti, The Spices and Atcha? My personal opinion, and we all have different tastes. I will start by saying, I see no need to pay the extra cost at Mukti when I'm already well satisfied by the othe...

Re: Indian restaurants in Hua Hin
I, at last, got back to Kwality last night, and none of us were disappointed with the food. In fact everybody commented on how nice the food was. There was even one comment, "Better than Atcha." Personally, I think the food is on a par with Atcha, but a lot closer to home. The only thing t...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month
Chiang Mai is also listed as the most polluted city on Earth. I'm amazed at that. Having visited Chiang Mai (admittedly years ago) but also many polluted cities in China and several other locations around the world including the likes of Delhi, Bhopal, Calcutta, Mumbai (you get the gist with India)...
