Went last November to Canada, deposited 250k into HSBC at 4.88%, interest paid monthly.
Today the same rate is 5.5%. I will be renewing and hopefully the rates remain the same.
On that note the price of my condo went down.
Rates in Thailand are on the opposite spectrum. If you want to save they pay you nothing.
If you want to buy a house you pay 2% more than back home.
So, nothing to support the currency, just the plain usual robbery for Thai people.
DO NOT BUY REAL ESTATE HERE. IT'S A MUG'S GAME
