So, we compare our costs in BKK to elsewhere for Marriott properties, as the thread is meant for.
You don’t have to necessarily factor in income differences, adjustment for general prices is enough. If pretty much everything in Bangkok is substantially cheaper than in Tokyo, while IC costs about the same, IC in Bangkok is more expensive in relative terms.

Besides, Bangkok is one of the major cities in Asia.
