Pretty dam_n abysmal. Mid seventies I went to pick up some furniture at a prison outside of Tunja in Boyaca with MIL that she had ordered. Pretty good stuff for a really rotten wood shop. From what I could see sleeping on a dirt floor adobe hut would be cleaner than the good part of the prison. Colombia has some wonderful people but the dregs of society also live there, and the folks I saw inside were the dregs of the dregs. Only time I was apprehensive in Colombia. other than being robbed by some police in downtown Bogota. People for a good portion of the population are good but a good portion are thieves at best and worse from that point on. It's really one of my favorite places but it has many drawbacks. But the beer ain't bad, the foods great and diverse not spicy and the women can be devastatingly beautiful or plain but all come with a Mt. Etna temper

Don't take it personal Firth. Many of the posters are on fixed income and 1000 baht might be their budget for the entire day or even two days. Others are in better shape financially and money for a hotel no matter the cost isn't a problem.
The poster was looking for cheap but clean. The last hotel I stayed in was in Mae Sot 1300baht a night no roaches and an ok breakfast buffet. My wife thought it high I just wanted a bed as I was tired after driving down from Chiang Mai with MIL and grandson via a stop at the Sukothai ruins

There isn't anything honest that spews forth from his mouth. Irregardless of your stance on it he has changed his public statements many times from acceptance to rejection. This statement was to solidify another niche of voters and nothing more. The fact he had a fun raiser at George Clooney's house that night in Hollywood had a lot to do with it. From an estimated take of $10 million to an actual take of $15 in campaign contributions. Those that think he was doing the right thing by making the statement didn't think it through as nothing changed or will change. He then said it was a States rights issue. It has been brought to a vote in 32 States including California and has failed in all 32 States to get it passed by a large margin of the vote. It just brings money in and gets votes from an already solid voting block. He doesn't care about middle class America and has written off their support so it doesn't hurt him there.

I've a friend who carts his bike by plane around the US. Bike breaks down into a luggage specially made for it. He paid 8 grand for the bike,  so it's worth carting around to him as he rides daily. Same bike won the Tour De France a couple of years ago.
