Baht is still way too strong. Chinese aren't coming so, if you want Westerners, better get it back to 36-38 to the dollar and similar for the Pound and Euro.
No sympathy at all for Thailand. They've been gouging everybody on Western imports for decades and now
the tables have been turned. Hey Thailand, how do you like dem apples?
Dead guy probably had no intention of ever repaying the loan. He figured he would bully his way out of it,
if need be. Pretty good strategy, huh?
The old Shakespeare line, Neither a borrower or lender be!
Same thing happened to me. I got rejected for my first try after re-entering Thailand. Had to go in person.
Odd thing is that it used to work no problem for first time back in. Are they tightening up?
