Economy The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You should ask Wikipedia, but I very much doubt it. -
Foreign currency account
StayinThailand2much replied to federicoP's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I looked into this, but those foreign currency accounts seem to have relatively high fees, while, at the same time, not offering much interest. -
Foreign currency account
StayinThailand2much replied to federicoP's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
They should do it like in China; different currencies in one savings account. (When I lived there, I had yuan, HK dollars, and euros all in one account). -
access denied to enter in thailand
StayinThailand2much replied to kiwi147's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You mean a 'Refused...' stamp, no doubt, not an exit stamp. -
access denied to enter in thailand
StayinThailand2much replied to kiwi147's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
not a bad deal If you're not blacklisted, and know what remark(s) they put into their system, please give us a hint, as no-one really seems to know what is in there. (From experience I know that there must be some remark they add to your 'profile' once they want to refuse you, cause shortly after I (almost) got refused at one Bangkok airport, I experienced the same at the other, and even a third entry point.) -
access denied to enter in thailand
StayinThailand2much replied to kiwi147's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Good luck with that. Immigration at (Bangkok airport) entry points seem to have wildly different policies from provincial Immigration offices. Or did you contact Immigration at that particular Bangkok airport? (If so, please share the response, as, I'm sure, many AN members would be very curious to hear about it... You're not banned, but if I were you, I would either go with 'fast track', or, at least, get a visa from a Thai embassy/consulate. (Alternatively, stay another 6 months, or so out of Thailand.) -
China's Yuan to Replace the Dollar because of Trump!
StayinThailand2much replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
Not likely. However, if Trump continues with his shenanigans, the dollar may soon be at parity with the yuan... 😆😂😆 -
Did you read my (and the original) post?? I am NOT resident in my home country. All my money (income, etc.) was already taxed there before (at source). If I made any money outside of my home country today, my home country would NOT levy a tax, as I do not live there... So, please spare your accusations for your drinking buddies.

Plenty of tourists (on lower Sukhumvit); backpackers, couples, Indians, Arabs, Africans... Not the typical redlight crowd. Also, the freelancers hanging around between Nana and Asoke look scary...

Economy The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It seems to be for currency trading. The baht has been pretty stable for the past 18 years. -

17 United Kingdom 310.2 There you go; the UK has slightly higher gold reserves than Thailand (234.6 metric tons). The U.S. has a GDP 54 times that of Thailand, but barely 35 times the gold reserves, not to mention foreign currency reserves; Thailand: US$246.900 billion (March 2025) vs. the U.S.: US$243.610 billion (Nov. 2024). -

Have you ever noticed this on the Sky Train?
StayinThailand2much replied to Tuco Ramirez's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Even better; sometimes I put my bag on the empty seat on the train. However, if the train gets crowded, there's always someone who wants to sit... The people who don't sit down (or even change seats) seem to be younger women. A 'sex tourist' prejudice? (Ironic, as 95% of Thai women on certain dating websites seem to be there just looking for customers.) 😆 -
Economy The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
StayinThailand2much replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand has huge gold and foreign currency reserves (particularly compared to its GDP), and the gold price is up lately, which might (at least partly) explain it. -
Didn't they store part of it like for twelve years, then (tried to sell it) cheaply to buyers in Africa in 2023?

Haha, big brother probably has to bail her out (if she ever really has to pay that). According to Google, her net worth is 'only' US$25 million... 😆
