Economy The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
KireB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I earn both Baht and Euros, so I really couldn't care less. When the Baht is high, I change it in Euros, and vice versa. So keep your bank account when you move here. -
Economy The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
KireB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You educate yourself. "primarily determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market" The Thai Baht (THB) operates under a managed-float exchange rate regime. This means that its value is primarily determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, but the Bank of Thailand (BOT), the country's central bank, plays an active role in managing its fluctuations. -

Economy MGM Resorts Eyes $3-5 Billion Investment in Bangkok Casino
KireB replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
This is fascinating news for Thailand's tourism and economy! MGM Resorts' push for a Singapore-like 17% casino tax rate and substantial local access really shows they're serious about a multi-billion dollar integrated resort in Bangkok. It makes sense, given how much more revenue Singapore's two resorts generate compared to many in Las Vegas due to their more favorable tax and market conditions. The preference for Bangkok as a prime location is no surprise – it's a global tourist hub with great infrastructure. And the 10% casino space limit in Thailand's draft bill seems quite reasonable when you compare it to Japan's 3% or Singapore's sub-5%. It looks like they're aiming for a balanced approach to boost the economy while managing potential social impacts. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. -
Report Beware of Tourist Scams: Bangkok Named Top Hotspot for Fraud
KireB replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Just got back from Bangkok and managed to avoid all the common scams! My top tips: tuk-tuk drivers offering super low prices ("20 baht to see all temples!") are a red flag – always hail a metered taxi or use a ride-hailing app. Be wary of anyone trying to guide you to a "special" shop or tailor; if you don't know much about what they're selling (like antiques or custom suits), just politely decline and keep walking. A firm "no, thank you" and continuing on your way works wonders; don't feel pressured to engage! Stay smart, and you'll have an amazing time! -
