Danok/Hatyai, Phuket, Bangkok (14-21/02/13)
 

Sawasdee Khrap,

Just returned from a wonderful holiday in Thailand.
Revisited many places and purposely skipped some.
Using a combination of coach and plane as means of transporation.
The overall inflation on accomodation, transporation (Land), food, daily necessities and entertainment have been very minimal even compared to 3 years ago.
In some areas no inflation at all!
No wonder Thailand's slogan is "AMAZING THAILAND". :)

Just want to give a big shout out to all the bros that contacted or hang out with me.
Hope I can do this again more often.
Until then chok dee! :)

ASIA CHEONG RANKING:
1) Changping, Dongguan (Good for cheong only)
2) Bangkok, Thailand (Good for overall. Cheong, Food, Shopping)
3) Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam (Value for cheong and historical tour)
4) Macau (Good for cheong but expensive)

since 2005 ive hardly noticed any inflation at all here. One person put it this way in bkk(thai) there is too much same same of everything. too much eyeglass shops, too many some tom strret food vendors, too many selling mobile phones and accessories, too much bargirls-reason prices hardly ever rise.

really hard to raise prices when your competiton prolly wont!

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Haha bro niknik889 you've been in Thailand so long arh? :D

Good mah competitive pricing.
Only thing not competitive are the Condominium prices. :(

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

i have no clue about condo purchase prices. but ive recently been following condo rental prices. im constantly amazed at what one can get here. example ideo verve 1 bed @ under 20,000 baht per month. or trendy studio @ 16,000-17,000 .

a studio in ideo huay kwang only 12,000. i actually put a deposit on 1 of these but owner had to take a trip on move -in day so i backed out.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

But some bros say about 9+ is the best time to go Thermal cafe? So if go NEP first, by the time go thermal will it be too late?

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

nep close around 230-300
so some of this girls leftover plus some other plce will go tharme to sit down outside because tharme also close liao . go nep to see see look look only.

outside tharma have small drink stalls to drink beer and relax , if want after you feel good talking can bring girl chiong disco.

but tharme girls is can negotiate better if can speak thai.

Re: Bangkok Field Report
 

Any one feel like going to wip disco to have fun and meet local chicks? Thinking of making this my last thing to do before I leave bkk. But would like someone to go together as I dun speak Thai and new to this kind of thing. Cheers.
