  1. Passengers are to be blamed. Instead of sitting home and tending gardens or just watching re-runs on TV they decided to travel inconveniencing airport personnel
  2. the same way we ignore our lesser cousins
  3. reminds me my visit in Ulu Watu temple on southern tip of Bali, another monkey infested place . All my time there I kept one of my hands on my glasses
  4. most of us tourists anywhere are never part of local market. I'm always amazed how few farangs in comparison with sidewalks of Silom I see in Silom market in soi 10 and it only steps from Silom itself.
  5. I never been there so have question - with those hordes it's even possible to visit those ruins or only marvel at them from the distance. I can imagine monkey's poo may be substantial obstacle to wander freely too.
  6. impression of my recent ( and a first at the same time ) visit there was that inconvenience was compensated by overcharging.
  7. Jason, don't you understand some people are shy😃
  8. Oh, yes, indeed shy ! I find it hard to believe, lol Great and engaging report !
  9. yes and no since we always deal with two markets , local and domestic If in our country, say an apple , cost 1$ and we go to Lesotho where the same may sell for 10 cents but shrewd seller quotes us 20 cents and we go for it two things happened at once, both true : 1/ we got ripped off, overpaying twice, ouch ! 2/ we got what we wanted for 1/5 of home value. Halleluiah ! is up to us how we go about that , whine or smile
  10. and then some British visitors are coming to Thailand and are loudly complaining about greedy boys asking 5000 baht for overnight
  11. Was this Gallup Russia or Gallup Belarus ? Catchy statistics but it could mean that disapproval of Russians went down from 70 % to 67.20 %, drop of 4% and disapproval of Americans went up from 5% to 5.15 % , increase of 3%.
