I find it is to easy to forget just how expensive some things are in Thailand and with the Baht hitting around the 50 to the pound mark, made ...

Thaiorchid I think there is a lot of truth in what your saying, there are a lot of very wealthy thia's around and if Tourism is 6% of Thailand GDP how much do ex pats contribute.

For example if you decide on the gold colour as your main colour try and break it up into squares with maybe black borders, that way if you have problems you can easily replace one section as you can never patch rep...

I went back to Western Tours yesterday and I have to say they were extremely apologetic and issued me with a credit note against my next trip to the value that I would guess was the total of the commission they made on my ticket.
