I forgot to mention that those that are yet to arrive, but it's going to happen anyway, could speculate what they might have to watch as most have way enough experience of being here to have a good idea of what the pitfalls might be once actually here. :cheers: Ok I fall into this category.

Unfortunately prices everywhere are going up. Here in California gas prices have gone up 35 cents a gallon in the last 10 days. Food is also rising rapidly. I'd be curious as to the difference in prices between here, and Thailand, now versus the past. I know for those residents the prices rise and s...
