Does Emmy allow such behaviour in the bar???

My upcoming trip in mid November has shown up some trends. I booked flights room etc when I first planned the trip about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have revised some dates and extended it by a few days. The costs of the rooms and flights have doubled! Six weeks out and I had to bite the bullet and forgo my return flight. No refund. Am I mad? Probably, but I cant see me making another trip for some time, so on we go. To give you an example, my homeward flight, BKK to Aussie, went from $460 AUD to $860. Both with Singapore which is my preferred airline. There was no way I wanted to pay $860 so booked on my favorite,( my attempt at a joke), airline, Jetstar. The condo in BKK has gone up by 100%!. The extra days are being taken up in Chiangmai.(hopefully worth it)! Even the flight from BKK to Chiangmai has gone up from $70.00 to $105.00! I realize that even at the increased price it is a good deal. But if they could make a profit at $70.00 they are doing well at $105.00. Aren't airfares one of the mysteries of life, along with the value of the Thai baht. Just by chance I watched a video this morning where a Thai gov guy was giving a rundown on the countries economy. He was not exactly jumping for joy about it!

You pedantic p-----k

Hi Emmy I think you can count on a couple of us guys visiting in late November. I know it is some time away, but we will get there. Promise.

Yep It is the good old USA. Nearly double the cost over Thailand for the same stay.

Thanks. That did cross my mind yesterday

That is one of the mysteries of life. Even money dealers have a hard job trying to justify the baht value. Some thinking that the baht is used as being like a hedge fund against other currencies, There seems to be no valid reason for its maintaining its value. They are not a major dealer in anything that would support a high value currency. Tourism which was one of the mainstays is not what it was. It doesn't seem to be a major player in the energy field. Doesn't have major dealings in things like gold or precious commodities. All in all a bit of a mystery.

Not available here as far as I know. That premium would about $265 AUD, more sensible

Teya has something special. She is not the most beautiful girl, but for whatever reason, when she is photographed she just has something that the camera brings out. Some girls look far better in the flesh so to speak.

I am looking into travel insurance for my upcoming trip in November. Now either my memory is failing or there has been a dramatic increase in premiums. I am sure that in the past I have paid around 380 AUD. Now the cheapest seems to be around $500 and others around the $1000 mark!!!! For 20 days! Ludicrous stuff. What are you guys paying in your respective countries? I am guessing age has a large bearing on it, but I have only aged 8 months since my last trip. Also visiting two countries, The US and Thailand.

Wow, what a face! Yes I know, check the age on the ID

It depends on the girl

CIB 10 is I think for the girls, BF 600, for the service girls 1000b!. After midnight it changes. Yep I know sounds stupid but the bar loses a drinks girl so go figure. Depending on the girl it is about 2000b for ST. They will try for more. There are other rates for bf due to time of bf etc.

Cake has great boobs and Anna a good weapon!

As far as I know, they will both be operating.
