    CORRECT!

    I know a lot of these restaurant owners, there's one who shall remain nameless but gets rave reviews on how cheap and good His food is. If you could see how filthy His kitchen is you'd puke. He covers smelly out of date meat with gravy to disguise it. 

    His ex cashier showed me the state of the kitchen. Holy crap. 

    Yet it gets rave revues because of it's give away prices.

    There must be a great deal of desperation in the Pattaya ex-pat scene these days, especially those living on UK income. They see their monthly allowance shrinking, but can't go Home because they have nothing to go home to.

    I feel sorry for many people like this but you should always use plan B. You MUST have a plan B.

    I started the Visa processes in 2005 after my son was born. I didn't have to, it was 70+ to the £ and I had 7 properties rented out in the UK, sharing rental money with my ex. I could easily have stayed there. But I wanted a plan B and that meant moving back to the UK with my family and them going through the visa and nationality process.

    But yes, it is a race to the bottom for many. The giveaway price food only reflects the current climate in Pattaya I'm afraid. 

    Had a meal on soi bucow last trip..Made hmp strangeways meals look like a la carte

    I think bottom feeders will always find somewhere cheaper to eat that will make them survive, they actually survive on very little.

    Middle feeders will still go if they really want to because they can still probably afford it but will moan like crazy.  Top feeders may only notice the difference in the numbers around them.

    Elite feeders just live in the outskirts, rarely hit town with the normal people and take their holidays outside of Thailand. 

    There are still many Europeans who haven't really noticed such a decline as the Brits.

    Senders also may start to budget.

    On my last trip i really enjoyed the frozen meals from 7/11,  exceptional value and service..great value. I also treated a bg to a pizza slice
