Post-Pandemic Chaos 疫后乱象

Thailand - Bangkok

泰国 — 曼谷

After an epidemic, many things have changed!

一场疫情过后，好多事情都变了！

Since when the emergency exist seats of a full-fare flight have to pay extra fare?

什么时候全价航班的紧急出口座位也需要付费了？

I was under the impression that only budget airlines need to pay extra in exchange for a wider legroom.

我的印象中只有廉价航空公司才需要支付额外费用以换取更宽的腿部空间。

Once upon a time, taxi-drivers had to grow vegetables on top of their taxi due to no passenger.

曾几何时，由于没有乘客，出租车司机不得不在出租车上种植蔬菜。

Now that the tourists are back, they start charging without using the meter.

现在旅客回来了，他们又开始不安表收费。

I have always had the habit of eating McDonald's breakfast, but I have never paid attention to its price.

一直都有吃麦当劳早餐的习惯，但从来都没有留意其价格。

Due to having too much time, I stumbled across a shocking truth.

由于时间太多，偶然发现了一件惊天骇人的事实。

Unexpectedly, McDonald's in Thailand is more expensive than Singapore's!

没想到泰国的麦当劳比新加坡的还贵！

That means Thailand's Big Mac Index is relatively higher than Singapore's!

这意味着泰国的巨无霸指数相对要比新加坡的高许多！

P/S: Big Mac Index is an informal way of measuring the purchasing power parity between two currencies and providing a test of the extent to which market exchange rates result in goods costing the same in different countries.

注：巨无霸指数是一个非正式的经济指数，用以测量两种货币的汇率理论上是否合理。以各国麦当劳餐厅的巨无霸汉堡价格，相对于该国货币汇率，作为比较的基准。
