Strength of the Baht

For everything that can help us understand Thailand's "climate" like culture, customs, habits and beliefs of the native population of Siam. Anything else useful for travel and emigration to Thailand, immigration laws, visas etc. is welcome too.

Strength of the Baht

Ungelesener Beitragvon Naam Jai (?2008) » Mi Okt 22, 2008 12:27 pm

Tourism down so is income and what else does Thailand have?
People are not spending money as a result.
So why is the Baht not affected by the dollar collapse?
Admittedly fuel prices have almost halved from their peak but I don't see more transport lorries on the road.
Is the bubble going to burst here too?

:shock: My exchange rate indicator here says 44.464 Baht to the Euro. That rate will not attract tourists either.

As I remember last time 11 years ago the baht got stronger and stronger and burst.

Experts have suggested a devaluation of at least 5 % but the Bank of Thailand rejected the idea.

Probably the men in charge aren't ready for a little private business on the side yet. :evil:
