Popular Thai Beaches Pricier Than European Resorts: It’s Not Just About the Higher Baht

It’s easy to blame the baht as the butt of the problem for a decline in European arrivals to Thailand. The issues are wider and deeper than just currency appreciation.

What a load of rubbish, of course it is the hight value of the baht that makes holidays expensive in Thailand change the exchange rate then do the math for the price of rooms....LOL

Most people never stay in 5 star hotels so the article is not relevant to real life.  Im Bangkok we usually stay in Red Planet in Asoke for about A$60 per night. Room is small but new, clean and absolutely no noise ! A bargain !  Thats all we want.

You have a wife. You probably don't know why farang men go to Thai beaches, or if you do, it's not important to you.

When such options are available on the Med, expect to see more single men there.

In Italy there are many gypsies on the parking lot at the beach, i saw them spreading their legs to me when i just walked there alone....

And i'm sure there are plenty sexclubs around there, for sure there are loads in Germany with east european girls...

If I really wanted to visit LOS I would, whatever the exchange rate.

Plenty of rooms for under 1000 baht all over LOS if one looks.

The Thai smile must be worth something.????

The genuine smile of ordinary Thais departed Thailand many years ago. Having experienced it myself, I regret that it left, as it was truly a wondrous thing.

Only other place where people smiled like that where I've been was rural Fiji, in the 70s.

I would have though the weather, service and beach/sea quality would be all that mattered.


I use 5* resorts and worry about the price.  But if the price is not right and fair, I prefer to stay at home in my 5* home. The high-season prices are usually way more than I am willing to pay, but I also prefer to avoid the crowd and therefore travel in the low-season only.

Apples and oranges.

Sexclubs and quickies with gypsies are not comparable with the girlfriend experience that one can have in LOS.

Forum rules preclude going into detail.

I see, so your name should read thai****lover ????

Singapore is the only one that stands out in the region for proper planning and development, said Kevan. “With Singapore, short-term thinking is the next 10 years, long term is 50 years. With virtually every other country in the region short term is yesterday and long term is tomorrow.”

 

The Thais can't see past tomorrow, as can be seen in their infrastructure planning 

I'm afraid Thailand is pricing itself out of the market now. Thats why the chinese and Indians are turning up because the place is empty of the people that matter, the Europeans

Not really

The problem (price) subject of the OP seems to be specific to a few islands only.

The cost of a five-star resort in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Samed has reached around $500 per room per night //

Looking on the Internet  I can see by example that it's no problem in Pattaya to find 5 stars resort in the 2'000-4'000 B range, very far from the 15'000 B in the OP.
