The reality is -Once you have paid for the air fares -Hotels can be cheap or expensive (depending on what you want ?Eating out is very reasonable .Street food is very good and well priced ( Please be assured that is good ) locals eat it .Do a bit of Research and you will enjoy it more . Good Luck .😀
The boarding pass is irrelevant-Once you are on the flight /Found your correct seat . I lost my boarding pass going through Dubai security check.I just went to the Emirates desk -I told them what had happened -They printed me a new Boarding ticket .
I watch the updates on the Thaiger news site . In their poll 59% said they were not going to bother to go till next year ... I think like most people I want to go back to Thailand soon . I think I am going to take a Pragmatic careful approach -Sit back and wait for the Bugs to be ironed out . Thailand will still be there next Year .Hope to see all my Friends in Thailand very soon .😀
