@Nongnuch *******

When you say "Rent, don't buy" I presume you mean a condo. Was just wondering why you say that. I have bought some condos when I lived there and when I felt like relocating was able to sell them without much of a problem?

@Brandon ***********

When you say to...

"Keep your boarding pass with you for your "final flight" to Thailand as well as they usually ask for that at passport control"...Why do you say "final" flight, ..which flight do you mean exactly please as he will only have arrived on the one he just disembarked from... Are you including any future flights?

Why does Agoda show a lower initial price that becomes higher at checkout?

Bob ********

I booked a hotel in Pattaya last year, the price was 650 Bt. per night.

An Agent popped up the first time I searched (without me asking) and wanted almost 900 Bt. for the same hotel. ..I got the better price by bringing up the hotel website and booking direct with them.

Surely countries have their reasons for prohibiting certain food stuffs...like for the prevention of contamination, or whatever, to their own sources...does that not count for anything. Is it simply a case of... "Bugger everybody else, if I want it that's all that matters" ?
