Heard that Hatyai's economy also not doing good because their main tourists/visitors from Malaysia are cutting back due to the Ringgit's tremendous depreciation.When I was younger, whenever I had leave I would spend it in Thailand so that the office couldn't ask me to return to the officeMade many trips tp Hatyai in those days. Eventually switched to Bangkok & Pattaya because there is more to see & do.
I've heard that Hatyai has changed a lot & would really like to do a re-visit to Hatyai. However the only airlines offering to fly from Spore to Hatyai is Tiger Air & that is the problem. Tiger is not the most reliable airline.
The thai authorities want to keep track of the foreigners & that's probably why they want them to report in every 90 days. This is a pain & one of the reasons that has stopped me from applying for a retirement visa.
It's common in Pattaya to hear Thai girls calling out to men in their 60's, 70's ,.. and calling them "handsum"
I think it is because thais "respect" the elderly
That's why I've always recommended never to delay the process of getting out of sinkieland.Could you have misheard it; they may have said 'humsup'?
It looks like inflation has kicked in.
It can only get harder and more expensive as the years go by.
