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)...

Re: Immigration warns of fake ‘fast-track service’

Probably needed to know who was offering the service - didn't want to step on any toes.

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

This should most probably be in the main news section, but I find it VERY weird that a country that has a corrupt police force that rarely goes out in the sunshine, and evening work seems primarily to be toll collection has actually found the resources to create a special monkey unit. Of course it h...

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

Yes, a crazy situation. They've raised minimum wage in some provinces to 400฿/day, but the poor Thais will receive in one hand but see it snatched away, with interest from the other.

It will greatly degrade living condition for many Thais.

Immigration warns of fake ‘fast-track service’

I think many have wished for this, but it looks like its a case of 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'. The Immigration Bureau has warned tourists not to fall victim to online advertisements that offer fast-track immigration service for 2,900 baht per flight at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mu...

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

This will hurt a lot/get the truck drivers protesting again. Many things will have to increase in price, pushing inflation through the roof.

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield

I often did one way hires, but never any discount. However, I often received some top end brand new super motors, which I felt I was ferrying to the local agents.

Likewise, some of the one way hires to airports were often 6 month old models with 30K on the clock going for disposal.
