Remember it well. Our salaries doubled overnight as many employees left Thailand unable to pay mortgages back home in the UK so management doubled our salaries hoping we'd stay. I was young, had no mortgage or debt and loved the extra spending power. Only imports were more expensive so local beer and services were relatively half price. Great times!

Very naive Mike. That was exactly my logic in 2014 having been in Thailand since '96 and remembering the 2006 coup against Thaksin Shinawatra. Didn't think they'd dare and that everything had changed. I was as wrong then as you are now.

On a scale of 0 to 1, I would definitely give her one.

I don't really give a hoot.
