I suppose it’s important to save the seven dollars US, and if that’s what really matters, that’s cool. My understanding is that the reason for the price disparity is that Thai nationals help subsidize these institutions through the government, who intern funds them through revenue, including taxes. So taking advantage of this loophole does save the individual money, but does nothing to compensate the institution. But I guess looking out for number one is still important to many.

@Jeremy ****
actually, and off the subject, that might not be a bad idea. If I interviewed for a job and didn’t get hired, go back and ask, what did I do wrong? Is there some way I could improve my qualifications, my interviewing technique, and the like. not that they would reconsider me for the job, but so that I could learn. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
