If you look at the Baht movements the way chartists look at stocks—you would see highs and lows vs other currencies. Looking at the recent lows—you can see the USD near a six-month low. The Euro and the Pound each near only one-month lows. Clearly FedSpeak to blame here. Traders expect an end to interest rate hikes (not likely) and a return to 2% inflation (not for a very long time).

Airplane Linked To Arrested Chinese Grey Capitalist Seized

Not fair. Chinese criminals can blend in with the local Chinese-Thai population. Western bad guys have no such cover. -

Umm, last I checked, the mighty Baht flexed its muscles today. That might impact things like stability, tourism and exports. -

Always liked Twitter—and now even more. Free speech rules. -
US Vice President Kamala Harris arrives in Thailand for APEC summit
Isaan sailor replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Let’s give VP Harris the benefit of the doubt. At least she won’t use cue cards. And maybe she won’t cackle this time. -
US midterms: Republicans narrowly win back the House
Isaan sailor replied to Scott's topic in World News
My Son Hunter should be required viewing for all of Congress. A gridlocked Congress should be good for America. Although the southern border will remain a disaster, as well as the deliberate phaseout of the fossil fuel industry. -
Unsure how to react, sometimes. Yes, USD has lost over 200 Satang in 30 days. But so have other western currencies. And Baht much higher a year ago. Currency fluctuations can’t be a good sign for prospective industries looking to leave China. Vietnam does a better job of holding its currency stable.

Israeli man arrested at Phuket Airport with 55 firearm bullets
Isaan sailor replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
In the USA, you can check a hand gun and rounds when you fly domestically. You need an appropriate gun license, and you must declare the items at check-in. Not sure what’s legal flying domestically in Thailand.
