Reading Squireels post the Thai baht has been the same thereabouts for the last 35 yrs duh
ask yourself numb nuts what could the money buy your 35 yrs ago compared to what it buys you now.
Beggars belief your ignorance.
after 1997 the pound was around the 70 mark and continued to be around 70 until 2006.
I wasn't in Thailand 35 yrs ago and neither was you. so comparing is pure stupidity.
the pound has lost nearly 48% since 2006 so the poor fuckers on pensions in Thailand have lost a lot.
so stop spouting your usual shit, you ain't far off your pension see how you feel when it happens.
