Re: What would you do??

It’s probably a fact that most barbers know that in their home country, foreigners would be paying 3/4/5 times the cost of a haircut back home so charge a (relatively) small premium for a haircut. I can’t believe that so many people get so excited over 20 Baht when there’s so many other things to w...

Re: Moving Back To Thailand Next Year

If you’ve been reading the Forum regularly you will have picked up that Hua Hin, like many areas of Thailand is not the same as it was 12+ months ago. Having said that, there’s still a reasonable sized expat community here to gather specific information. I don’t believe you mentioned what your inten...

Re: What would you do??

I’m going to sit on the fence on this - personally I wouldn’t get too excited over 20 Baht, even though the principle is annoying, although I believe that a lot of barbers follow the same practice and apply a small surcharge to farangs - the barbers I use charges 80 for Thais and 100 for farangs but...
