“fair” salary isn’t a linear solution. Public perception of value has to change. If prices go up, people stop buying, unless what they are selling is perceived as more valuable. For example: so many of my Thai friends on Facebook post about how expensive restaurants are becoming — almost always followed by “I’m going to the cheaper places.” Artificially increasing prices and “salaries” doesn’t fix anything.

News to me! Thanks, Tod.

Just to clarify — this isn't for incoming travelers doing visa exemptions, right?

I think it was called ETA or something?

@David *******

yeah found that out today (though my documents were just fine). Super easy here!

@Tod ********

just applied today in Jakarta — will make a post soon.

I think I was actually remembering someone saying “if you make a mistake, they let you leave and go fix your mistake before paying” so payment is the last bit and isn’t the cost of entry.

Did they *ask* for 2 months of bank statements, or did you supply it just in case?

KNEW IT

@Paul ******

Bro, go back to listening to Andrew Tate or something. I'm sure Thai Immigration will be happy to have you aboard.

@Paul ******

I think you need to calm down, Paul. I'm not seeing any evidence of "losing" anything except for my time.
