    Ahh yes the good old days , the big untruth going round at the Time that Thai PM Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and his side kick Thaksin made an absolute financial killing in the currency markets knowing full well in advance what was coming and took advantage of it , of course Personally I did not believe a word of it cos Thai politicians especially those who are trusted to run the countrys economy as we all know the Country comes first and there financial gains come in a poor last
    You'll remember the previous evening, the Finance Minister addressed the nation on the telli firmly suggesting that they would not float the currency. And the following morning, they did anyway......

    I forgot to add that it was a mere coincidence that the Baht went through the floor in July 97 and Thaksin was appointed Deputy PM in Aug the same year .

    Fingers crossed, with the Baht and Bangkok sinking and an uncertain transfer of power from the current status quo, there'll be some bargains to be had.

    "education hub of ASEAN"! ...how on earth did Thailand manage to get so rich?!

    You must be joking ! If the Labour Party elect Corbyn they will never win an election and the continuity of a Conservative government will only serve to increase the value of the pound against other currencies.

    No more Labour governments is great news for the UK.
    Quite correct CAN123,remember the last real socialist Gov under Wilson and Callaghan when inflation reached 26.9% and you had to smuggle your money out of the Country if you wanted a decent holiday abroad with your family? , the IMF refusing to lend them any more money unless they had a wage freeze ,leading up to the union chaos in the Winter of discontent ,leading up to Labour getting wiped out in the GE , I would suggest that those who not aware of this simple fact read on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent

    THB is weakening as the global economy seems to be trending towards a recession. The US Dow has dropped nearly 1000pts in a month. Also the THB took a hit due to the latest TIP report.

    US keeps Thailand at Tier 3 | Bangkok Post: news


    I personally think it will weaken to about 35.8 to 36 to 1 USD exchanging $100 notes.

    I transacted a transfer at 35.21 Monday. Not bad being not to long ago the THB was bouncing off the low 29 high 28 mark. There is money to made buying and selling currencies right now.

    Bearish market looming. Yesterday Dow fell 212 to close low 17,389 i believe. China market had a huge fall out as well.

    Chinese have devalued the yuan over the last two days. The baht is following it down, as is the Aussie dollar.

    Not quite. The inflation rate ensured interest rates were shockingly high compared to today but the benefit in relation to a mortgage was such that although the first year or two was crippling, three successive annual pay rises meant the devaluation of the loan in real terms too. Fine if you were in good, secure employment.

    Happy days really and the world felt a lot bigger.

    Yes, of course a payrise in '82 would have been useless in '75.

    The pound was at 55.08 this morning, despite bad news elsewhere, but before the UK rise in unemployment was announced. That was balanced by an increse in earnings.

    If it carries on like this Piwi might be able to afford an education.
