    The baht is not getting stronger, if it was then the prices you list above would be going down not up.  What is happening is that the baht is weakening more slowly than the major currencies due to all the "stimulus" that many western countries are pumping out.  Most of these "stimulus" packages are financed by central banks (o.e. printing more money).  As those central banks flood the market with excess currency the value of those currencies goes down faster than the Thai Baht which gives the illusion of a strong currency.  

     

    So if you want to know who to blame for the lack of value your home currency now demands, blame your home government/central bank.  Its funny to hear expats on this forum blame the Thai government for the lack of purchasing power of their home counties currency.  

     

    The Thai central bank would be wise to increase the value of the baht rather than decrease.  A strong currency would lead to economic growth through foreign investment.   It would also result in a price drop on goods and services within the economy which would benefit the Thai people in the long run.  

    When the thb/usd rate was at 29 all prices especially imported goods were still going up. Seems to prove your personal theory wrong.

    Good for selfish people like you, but not good for Thai people who want to travel abroad. Funny how so many expats on this forum just think of themselves. Why care about anyone else, as long as you're ok.

    Pffft...what crakp. And you only think of the wealthy Thais that can afford to travel abroad in the first place.

    How about the legions of factory workers in the export industry, good for them but selfish people like you just think of....
