Methodology
UBS conducted its standardized Prices and Earnings survey in 73 international cities in March 2009. The data was collected by several independent observers in each city. In all, more than 30,000 data points were included in the analysis. All amounts were converted into a single currency to ensure that the surveyed prices and earnings could be compared. To compensate for daily exchange rate fluctuations, we used the average exchange rate over the data collection period. An international price comparison needs a common, standard basket of goods and services. As in past studies, the basket of goods and services was based on Western European consumer preferences. Living costs were calculated based on a survey of 154 items in total. They include 122 products and services that are used directly to calculate the reference basket. Apartment rents were classified as high-, mid- and low-priced.

the difference ranges are about 20 baht. Does that worry you? If so you could always be a sad B and sit outside a convenience store drinking beer on your own, or with retards, or give up. My advice? Go to the marriott and order an expensive cocktail. At least you'll have sometime to talk about before you die Cheap Charlie.

Was it really worth waiting 8 months to be a bit harsh on the OP?
