I wanted to ask everyone what they think about further travel and wintering in Thailand? The situation in Russia is clearly not easy and no improvements are foreseen. I think it has become everything understandable, even to those who were originally set up very optimistic.
Personally, I see two variants of the development of events: bad and very bad. But each of them is finite, that is, the people will get used to the new prices, adapts and just as well then will go to winter, because those who run away from the climate (or for a better standard of living), they don’t care will try to find ways to change their geographic location And by the way, it may well be that again in the trend there will be budget travel! 
And I remember, I have some of my own “Phi” was said when we spent the winter in Tay for 15-20 thousand baht per month, they say rogue. And now it is already 30-40 thousand rubles, and quite maybe that will be 50-60 pretty soon.

Wintering in Thailand still makes sense
Bad script
Continuing my thought, I want to say that the rise in price, due to changes in course, you will feel absolutely everything sooner or later. Yes, those who are abroad, immediately felt it, when withdrawals from an ATM they were charged twice as much in rubles, but prices now and in Russia have already grown and continue to grow until likewise, they are not adjusted to the course. Upon my return from Poland, I I thought I would save on products (compared to Poland), but not it was then that everything was already 1.5 times more expensive in the supermarket houses. Prices for equipment and cars have also grown quite noticeably. The process is inertial, so there is some delay.
Near our house, Moscow, Butovo.
Thus, after some time we can come to the conclusion that Thailand will again become cheaper than life in the same Moscow For example, if you compare on products. Previously, persimmon could be buy for 80-100 rubles, now it costs about 150-200 rubles. Mango in Tae was worth and costs 50-80 baht, which is now equal to 100-160 rubles As a result, mango is now cheaper (and for me also tastier) persimmon, albeit not much.
The only thing that does not fit into this scenario yet is the cost of rental housing. Previously, it was possible to rent an apartment or house in Tae for 15 thousand baht, which was equal to 15 thousand rubles. Now it’s already 30 thousand rubles and coincides with the cost of renting odnushki on the outskirts Moscow And while I do not see something, that real estate in Russia began rise in price (rather falls). That is, if not renting a property, which makes up the lion’s share of the winterer’s budget, then Ty continued would stay cheap This is also the rental of transport— Although if talk about bikes, in Moscow you can not remove the scooter for 7 thousand rubles / month (3.5 thousand baht) and ride it all year round. In general, this is just a question. time when it will be possible to go back to “cheap” Tai, and for someone he is now more profitable.
Unfortunately, life has become more expensive everywhere, regardless of the country. accommodation if your income is in rubles. Apparently this is just necessary take, relax, and live on. As an option, make for yourself some conclusions not to plunge into such crises every 5 years, but this is a topic for another post. So during few years working to increase their income and you can again hit the road. Only now the indexation of salaries, I would not really waited, there is nothing to raise them, and here, being in demand a specialist, freelancer, or doing online projects, income can still be raised.
Very bad script
In terms of the worst scenario, there are some significant changes in country: unemployment, collapse of the banking system and economy, closing borders and rebellion of some kind. You can choose any item from the list. or more. If things go the same way, then Thailand / travel will become necessary for all not in a couple of years, but years after 10, when survival ends and life begins. Perhaps it will be in a completely different country and with another government. True, then a bad scenario will be a bright future for those who will wait.
So far everything goes to the fact that this option will be be realized. It is hard to believe in it, but according to forecasts smart people, it remains a year to suffer or even less to Most of them came up with the difficult situation the country was in and who is the true cause of all that is happening. Although the projections are such a thing is subjective, nobody knows exactly what will happen farther.
Downshifting is back in fashion
The network has a lot of ironic articles, where it is mocked lifestyle negligent downshifters who return to their homeland and get a job due to lack of money. Only for some reason there was a substitution of concepts, downshifter always began to mean slob That is, they took some kind of atypical example and replicated it to the masses. Downshifting does not mean idleness, not at all. You can be a downshifter, but at the same time work and earn, the bottom line is to have more joy in as a result of doing what you love and personal life instead of just working from dawn to dusk (career).
Maybe a crisis is the very time when it makes sense. understand what in life you would like to do in reality? No matter, remotely or in the office, the main thing is that the profession and format of work liked it. Perhaps looking at how savings turned into pumpkin for a few days, not everyone wants to waste their lives only for material goods. Moreover, if you translate everything into hours / days / year then the person earning all his savings in 10 years, it turns out wasted 5 of them for nothing (exactly half in rubles lost everything at the moment). Maybe on was something else worth spending these years in parallel?
On the other hand, downshifting is downshiftin, but a crisis is that time when, on the contrary, it is necessary to work more. Freebie is over! Healthy competition, lack of easy money, pumping their abilities. Survive, probably, just not lazy That is There is not much time to choose your favorite business, you need to act. Although “working hard” does not in the least contradict the downshifting in my understanding.
In addition to downshifting, in my opinion, budget will be in trend travel and savings because there simply won’t be funds for consumerism with snobbery. Moreover, savings also occurred the substitution of concepts, because in fact it very rarely means misery Savings can be conscious to control your spending for a specific purpose or just to not spend do not regret too much, because money = time. Notice any the company does not scorn to keep a budget, plan expenses and incomes, calculate and cut unnecessary expenses. Than ordinary man is different? Nothing, he needs the same spend your money
Eventually
And in the end, all the same, it all comes down to the fact that traveling is so or else be, even later. They may even get a new one. meaning. Who would have thought 100 years ago that such a huge the number of people will travel, and boast a dozen visited countries will not be some brave explorers, and most ordinary people. The world is changing, whether we like it or not, movements become something commonplace.
And what else I wanted to say, those who really need to go somewhere, they will look for opportunities. After all, the state of the road, some insights, sometimes caught in the reserved seat, which rides in the winter Black Sea. Well, this is about the difference between traveling / treveking / traveling / doing nothing for the sake of not doing something Sometimes people went to Tai precisely in order to to relax / have fun, renting an apartment in Russia or accumulating. Here is the number of winterings / trips of this format will be reduced, especially if it’s about long trips, just not what will go and will have to work. They will also look for opportunities thought about leaving for a while because bad scenarios are better to wait somewhere else, and not in the epicenter events.
P.S. It is very interesting, who thinks about wintering / traveling and prospects in the next couple of years. Only, pliz, without political srachey, I will delete.
P.P.S. Instead of “Thailand” you can substitute any other country, and in the comments, everyone only discusses Tai The problem of price increase concerns any travel.
