Coss Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I reckon that the good ol days were circa 1985~2005. Flash had the best of times and since 2005, prices and attitudes have sky rocketed and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 2005? 5 years too late IMHO 1997-99 when the SE Asia Financial Crisis was in full throes, prices will still reasonable but we were getting 150% + for our GBP / USD etc back then. Today GBP is 42.8 THB for a few months in 98 it was well over 90 peaking at 97.XX 1000 THB back then was about £10 now it imore like £25 so even though prices may have tripled in price over the past 20 years in Baht terms they have actually increased Seven-Fold in GBP terms OH, Happy Days!

Stickman Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I reckon that the good ol days were circa 1985~2005. Flash had the best of times and since 2005, prices and attitudes have sky rocketed and not in a good way. I don't remember any real change happening around 2005. After 2009 i.e. from 2010 onwards then yes, I think attitudes changed markedly but up until late 2009 I thought Thailand nightlife remained a compelling product.

Coss Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I may have been too definitive, what I shoulda said was, circa 1985~2005, was for me good times. I wasn't there before '85, and 2005 was the last time I really participated and then I found prices and attitudes moving away from fun and sexy times. Maybe I'm past it... 2005? 5 years too late IMHO 1997-99 when the SE Asia Financial Crisis was in full throes, prices will still reasonable but we were getting 150% + for our GBP / USD etc back then.
