Are travel agents still relevant despite aggregator services, and can anyone recommend one?

Arnie ************

I know a Thai guy. A real travel agent. He speaks English. He answers questions. He gives thoughtful alternatives. He solves problems. I love him. I wanted to adopt him. His name is Puchong.

What caused the recent spike in electricity costs in Thailand?

Arnie ************

They sent us a blank bill too, and I went into the office to hear the bad news, rather than wait until next bill.

Mine was so high that they didn't print any usage or price on my monthly bill. I had to go into the office to find out it had tripled. I think they thought if they printed the amount due that I would leave town. They were right! 🤣

I prefer $53 to $40 too. I travel to Lao a few times a year to visit family, and to get sick.
