Tourist season expect to pay US$200++, and the ++ is usually 21%, so it adds up very quickly, veggie_lover, the other thing is that most of the hospitality infrastructure in Thailand is recent compared to our homelands. I use Hyatt and the US citizens post about doing FFN at $50per night and I think WOW how good is that, opulent Grand Hyatts in Asia pacific start at AU$400++. What can I say, Americans have all the fun, but remember it was the Aussies who insisted they put tea and coffee machines in their rooms , regards bkkrop
