I agree with that
I guess , as someone who has always, adhered to the rules-- even when i wanted to stay longer--
It upsets me.

I also am feeling - after 24 years of coming to Thailand and feeling welcomed- that the current Thai Immigration policies are making me feel —
Less than welcome to travel as a free entity-
Seems really burdensome with all the pre- questions

I agree that you do get good service
But yes concerning prices
Now they are about the same as in USA

Compared to USA
In Thailand it’s up to 90% cheaper for simple procedures
Why do some Thai people seem to take advantage of tourists?

Come on
They = the corporate streaming providers are not stupid
??!! Do you really think they don’t know what you are trying to do!!
Get over it
Pay for the services IN the area you are in
Stop trying/expecting them to allow you to
Skirt their policies

What factors are causing the Thai Baht exchange rate to decline rapidly?
Mike
**********
I’m always laughing at travelers who are “concerned “
About exchange rates
The rates are determined by multi national banks and government policies.
There is nothing you can do about those rates
So stop stressing
Just go travel
Enjoy those travels
To even consider
?? Wow exchange rates seem to be volatile
? Should I or not travel because of that in my opinion is silly
