But since we are comparing air fares from U.S, -Thailand,...how about we look at the cost of the fares?...an American avarage worker gets about 20$ an hour-I believe-some get lot more-like licenced plumbers get 70$ (2,100 bagts) an hour, painters (my job) get from 15$ p/h, to 200$ (6,200 bahts) per day,...so for an average worker here in U.S. it takes about a week and a half to pay for a trip to Thailand. How much work does an average Thai worker need to earn that same amount?..or other workers, like Australian, Swedish,..etc,?
