OK for those here who don't understand my point.

Brexit or no Brexit when has the Euro bought more baht than the £.

This is about strong baht currency £ was 37-38 for a long while, now at the moment around 41 why that is I have no idea. 

The reason is the pound was as low as 1.20 to the us dollar now 1.37 so were now getting 37% more than the dollar as regards 20% recently pound expecred to reach 1.40 to the dollar by end of feb which will put pound to 42 baht.

 Baht very strong against dollar thai banks full of foreign money seen as a safe haven Govt not printing it like europe and US

  Also thailand cant just devalue Trump for example threatning trade sanctions against countries for manipulating currencies Thailand was one on his watchlist .

  Personally i think Thais would like the dollar around 1.33-1.34 this would help there exports 

Due to the frozen pension the uk has no idea how many pensioners are overseas with many thousands just recieving there winter fuel payment which no doubt will help with the aircon bill

At present no issues however rumours circulating of 14 day quarantine probably self quarantine on arrival have heard could be an

nounced today

I purchased IDP in post office uk last week just took my driving licence card and photo done there and then 5 min to my surprise even covered me for motorbike .

  Saves all the hassle 

People need to understand Thai Govt etc dont look what Baht i worth against Pound Aud dollar

Euro there concern is the Dollar currently around 30.5  they would like it around 33 as they export in dollars rice etc.

  If the pound rose to 1.40 against dollar the pound would be worth approx  42 bhat not long ago

1.60. Just look how Aud  dollar has performed against dollar last few years 

Has anyone in Kantharlak Ubon opened one of these acounts i want to build uup my funds in  Thailand over the next couple of years

  I currently have an account with Bangkok bank in Kantharlak but with exchange rates as they  are not to keen on converting into bhat just yet.
