Is the dream of SEA dead?

Western currency is decreasing by up to 33% in value vs the thai baht (aud).

Visas are getting tougher.

Beers prices are going through the roof 100 baht is normal in pattaya and phuket in 2018

Thats nearly 5$ aud.

In KoW prices went up hill, i mean seriously 5 $ lady drinks is a joke, thats like paying 200$ for a beer in Australia.

Its becoming a joke.

Well you should go to Cambodia or Vietnam... can still buy beers from the fridge at corner stores in VN for 8000 VND (about 45 cents)

As a sock, your constant inane questions are only entertaining to a point. You clearly have a modicum of education and yet continue to play the fool.......[mod edit]

I don't get that statement. How is paying for a $5 lady drink like paying $200 for a beer in Oz?

he gets charged double rates due to his charm- plus, when he says dollars, he means the pacific peso- not real money.

no, that is when his flatmates find his PC logged in

Average wage in oz is 4000$ cleared a month and a beer is about 5$ in a bar.

In KoW average monthly wage is 150$ a month
So a lady drink should be about 0.075 cents in comparison.

Anyway its clear that SEA is not a bargain and they are raising prices to even up previous unfair conversions we have seen in the past.

Examplr

Aud to baht in 2010
33.30 BHT to 1 AUD

Aud to baht in 2018
23.7 BHT to 1 AUD

Aud to KHR in 2010
4100 KHR to 1 AUD

Aud to KHR in 2018
3000 KHR to 1 AUD.

so it is the pacific peso that is the problem by your own admission

I surmise you don't have a very clear concept of economics, nor the costs involved in running a bar, paying for stock and keeping staff, much less things like profit and other overhead.

You make good sense as usual there BeerintheMorning.
