News Forum - Thailand tourist fee: 300 baht via air, 150 baht via land/sea
I only go to Bangla maybe one night if we are in Phuket because my wife likes the big live music places, we used to go nightly when I lived in Patong I will always enjoy Nana for the people watching and if I am staying close I like to have a few beers early evening 4-5pm -

I haven't noticed any dropoff in service in non p4p places I mean sometimes the service was always bad But if I go to a proper bar/restaurant, no one is on their phones like you see in the p4p places -

News Forum - Thailand tourist fee: 300 baht via air, 150 baht via land/sea
As I was married back then it was never something I got involved with and neither do I now. I enjoy the buzz of places like Nana, Bangla and Pattaya and the fact you are able to sit on your own having a beer without too many odd looks. When I go in to those bars then it’s not long before you are approached, I just say I’m waiting for my wife to arrive and that normally keeps them away -

I wasn’t just meaning the P4p aspect. I was leaning the level of customer service. This includes flexibility of what you eat, the presentation of cold towels and not having to wait to be offered another drink. Part of the problem is the continual use of mobile phones and the need to check your Instagram or FB. If I was running a bar or any business where people interact constantly with people, then mobiles would need to be left in your locker or only answered when a family member calls. -

News Forum - Krabi hotel accused of favouring foreigners over Thais
This was a hot topic before and it was nothing more than offering Thais a discount, which resident discounts are done all over the world They proposed keeping the resident/citizen discounts and having others pay the pre-covid prices It was a resident discount, worded in an awful way In British Columbia Canada https://www.google.com/search?q=bc+resident+hotel+discount&rlz=1C1GCEJ_enCA874CA874&oq=bc+resident+hotel+discount&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390.9328j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Those international chain hoteliers also offer resident discounts Sheraton was one of the chains that criticized the TAT plan, yet they offer plenty of resident discounts https://www.google.com/search?q=sheraton+resident+discount&rlz=1C1GCEJ_enCA874CA874&oq=sheraton+resident+discount&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.8232j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 On the same subject, I used TAT's We Travel Together, as well as other Thai discounts when travelling with my son and wife for over 25 nights this summer And they were accepting anyone who had a Thai ID, not just Thais
