Indonesia is so cheap, youd think it was a third world country and
those regular currency collapses help no end. However, the Thailand is
cheap claim is less true if paying in US$. US$ has lost more than 10%,
so US$ accepting countries like Cambodia now seem cheaper.
Also many people discount the cost of anything if its in funny foreign
money. Therefore a 100 baht beer is claimed to cost less than a $2
beer because baht isnt real money... Well, its the wrong colour for
starters. |
