Thread: Thai Baht Rates .

^

Glad I popped last week when it was 26.5.

Quote correctly - you cashed in at 26.05

^

Yes, I did fuk up.

9.30 PM @ Superich = 25.30

ToDay

AUD @ Superrich 10.00 AM = 25.50

AUD @ Superich 11.00AM. = 25.35.

Reading this article, I wonder if we might say a down turn in the strength of the BahtShippers fear deeper slump for exports | Bangkok Post: business

I would think that the down turn in the baht would not be good for import & not exports.

You think quite correct I agree, but the article is on exports ,for instance Vietnam has devalued the dong 3 times this year making their rice exports 45 dollars a tonne cheaper than Thai rice ,its just a thought and of course I stand to be corrected unreservedly

Yeah since this article came out Vietnam has devalued the Dong again to aid their export markets , who knowsVietnam Devalues Dong for Second Time in 2015 to Aid Exports - Bloomberg Business Thailand may follow suit to stay competitive

AUD @ Superich 12.30 PM. = 25.00 BHT.


I don't like it when it reaches 25 Baht.

As I fair dinkum Aussie yourself Tel ,what do you think of what a retired Aussie Miner said to us last night in our local ,"Trouble is when China develops a Tickling cough we in Australia get Pneumonia" !

Its forecast to get a lot worse too

That's what he indicated last night , there's 4 Aussie pensioners living in my area who's outlook on Australia's economic future could only be viewed as Pessimistic , luckily they all seem to be able to manage here in Thailand OK and still go out for a few Chang beers.

I had a couple of my Aussie mates round 10 minutes or so ago buy some of our lemons ,(yeah lemons not limes) they was somewhat perplexed at what is taking place back there in Ozz and the currency deprecation , I just said come on now it ain't that bad , they both said yeah really? look at this BBC article just for openers When a slump hits a vast iron ore mine in Australia - BBC News

You could have given them a free lemon mate

At the end of the day that's exactly what it boils down to.

If An Aussie can not afford to live in Thailand because our Exchange rate has shit it's self what chance would he have surviving back in Australia ?

I was here when it was 18 Baht to the AUD so I have a bit of slack to go yet .

Whatever it goes to is irrelevant, can still have a decent time if the belt needs tightening.

Wrong and wrong on both accounts Jan my wife is in sole charge of selling our Lemons and Mango's and keeps every single baht for pocket money ,it actually costs me money cost I buy the two fertilizers which ensures we have a bumber crop of both ,in regards to the Aussie Dollar, yeah I remember it being a lot less than it is today ,and as stated previously I know for a fact that my Aussie mates here on their pensions could hardly be called on the bread line , like they would if they lived in Ozz.
