Gotta wonder if those alleged Russian war refugees will meet up here with real Ukrainian war refugees..

International problems require international solutions. China remains the world’s leading air polluter, and they’re bringing on more coal-fired energy plants. India also contributes to air pollution in SE Asia. And farmers in SEAsia continue to burn fields before the planting season. One country acting alone cannot make much difference.

88% of Thailand bank accounts have less than 50,000 THB
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think the 69% of Americans having less than $1,000. In savings accounts is inaccurate at best. For instance, I too keep very little in my savings accounts. But I have other assets—stocks, bonds, land and housing. Some of these assets belong to Thais as well. -

No wonder Thai girls seem attracted to western retirees here. -
The FBI Desperately Wants to Let Trump Off the Hook

More “news” articles from leftist media. Last week, CNN. This time The Atlantic. Next week Bezos’ WaPo, or perhaps MSNBC. All red meat for liberals—enjoy. -
Australian Dollar is collapsing
Isaan sailor replied to Adumbration's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Misery loves company. USD has fallen to the mighty Baht as well. From 35.37 on Tuesday to 34.64 today. So when does the all-powerful Baht fall? -
I resemble that remark. Spend most of my time in Isaan, with plenty of excursions to the Gulf. No regrets—friendly natives, gorgeous women, reasonable prices (except maybe gasoline and diesel).

I also took the save visa trip to Laos two weeks ago via Mukdahan, and got the same TB5000 Non O multiple entry visa for one year. Accurate reporting, thanks. But this begs the question: what good is this visa if you have to leave Thailand every 90 days? Furthermore, does this mean Laos immigration will slap a full page 30-day visa sticker in my passport again? I will soon run out of empty pages. I shall bring this visa to my local immigration office for their advice before 90 days pass. It was their ideas to take this visa trip in the first place.

The Baht Thread
Isaan sailor replied to nigelforbes's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
What about Emerging Market currency trading accounts? Many pension and in the US 401k and IRA accounts offer these automatic investment options to employees.. Could they cumulatively drive the Baht higher? -
The Baht Thread

Very thoughtful and thorough explanation—thank you. Most concerning point: the Baht has a natural tendency to appreciate. Can you elaborate please? And do western currencies share this trait?
