The price for flights to London on Thai Airways ex Bangkok are noticeably higher, between 40%-80%, than flights from LHR to BKK, and its not the taxes as UK taxes are some of the highest in the world, and set to rise. My wife was looking at our bank statements today and for the first time ever Kasikorn Bank has started charging a 2% fee, plus a 150 Baht surcharge, on Internation transfers received, even when they are in Thai Baht, just crazy!

I'm sure we see a special stimulus sale, a happy christmas opportunity or a "visit your friend - valentines special" in the next month. In flight Entertainment on Air Berlin is bad but i like the combination of sleeping tabletts and Whiskey anyway. 11 hours sleep on a 11 hour flight makes it much more comfortable. This is a special for the 30th aniversary of “Air Berlin”.

Booked a flight on 31th Oct. day before yesterday and i only pay 9500 Baht for one way BKK->DUS (Duesseldorf/Germany). Looks like some people really likes to throw money out of the window. By the way seems that "The Nation" is going down http://thailandjumpedtheshark.blogspot.com/2009/06/nation-is-in-deep-financial-doo-doo.html Thats sad. Not for this elite press release printing press but because then "Not the Nation" will also perish. 39500 Wow, that expensive.

One of our first discussions on our way home was about what we should do with what investments we have left in Thailand, my wifes immediate response was 'I worry for Government want take our land because you send money to me even though we married and have other company Singapore' (phonetic) ;-) Thailand is in a very sad state, they just dont seem to get whats happened globally and their natural reaction seems to be blame the farang. What this will translate to in the longer term is an unknown.
