Re: Danok Lastest update

Just sharing some info about my recent trip to Danok over the last weekend with some old kakis.
This was my 1st trip there after 3 years of hiatus.

Here are some of the things new to me after all these years.

1) Clearing the Thai immigration took about 45min. Long queue due to the new system implemented (now all the people crowded in the new immigration building, whether it's by bus, car, or crossover,, even those with border pass also have to queue)

2) RM really low value against BHT.. 2nd shock after changing our RM to BHT at the duty free counter.

3) Almost everything in BHT..i felt i was in BKK..
even the street traders "mai au RM"

4) Farm girls now easily min 3K BHT & above.. Very less thais, majority Laotian.

5) Finally, for the past 10years cheonging in Danok, usually the cost for me (farm chicks, hotels, foods,drinks i don't go to hang flowers ) average RM1K+ for 2Nights.
This trip, it cost me RM1.7K
Most likely will be the last of trip to this Danok.

That's all for some petty news update from me.
Cheers bros.
