You STILL don't "get-it" do you, Janelle? I posted a query I was hoping someone might know the answer to and offer up the same. Hate to burst your bubble, dear, but..... not EVERYTHING is about you.

Are you factoring in the flights, hotel accommodation, visa and transfers? 🤔 Or just trying to show off?

That's what I'm increasingly hearing about Thailand. My personal theory is that prices haven't risen here (relatively) but that prices in the UK (and probably USA etc) have fallen since the late 20th century, due to an emergence of chain optician franchises (McDonalds for the eyes).

Thanks, anyway. But I was hoping someone might answer my query, rather than simply offer up an advert I'm expected to blindly (pardon the pun) follow.

Wow. I'm not sure which would be worse 1) being a loser but ignorant to the fact or 2) being a loser and knowing it. Which is it, Mark?

Whereas you are clearly a Beta who fancies himself a Sigma but can actually never even so much as hope to truly aspire in becoming an Alpha. I've got your number, Mark. I suspect most have. I know a charlatan when I see one and phonies like you know when you've been seen, don't you Mr Bluff'n'Bluster?

Gosh. I bet you're 'ARD, Mark. Got a carbon-plated keyboard, to resist the primeval thumps of impotent rage you regularly subject it to in between hiding behind your screen and bossing the virtual world around whilst acting out your real-world unfulfilled schoolboy fantasies, by any chance?😂😅🤣
