LOGIC OF DEVELOPING OR UNDER DEVELOPING NATIONS

Internet cost 1 Baht per minute.
30 Baht for an hour, or discount for using an hour.

After 1 hour then you pay 1 Baht per minute.

The 30 Baht reverts to the 60 Baht per hour rate.

What this does is wacks you if you do not pay attention to the time exactly.
The 1/2 Baht rate would carry on in South America or Central American and they would even maybe keep reducing the rate to keep you using the machine, but here I just leave.

But there is a reason for this madness, it will guarantee this country stays a cheap place to travel.
Thank you Thailand! With that business sense I can always return with the insurance they never really get it together.
