I am NZ and we are strong against the US$ but 23 baht to our $. And the banks are pushing to make more money on the rates exchanges in general. The banks are controling it all around the world. don't forget the aliens, especially species 8746 from the Delta quadrant. they collaborate with the Ferengis and control most central banks.

When looking at various economic indicators, the Baht is way overvalued (and comparing these indicators to those of other Asian and major countries); so, yes, when some powerful people wish to move money overseas, the relevant institution is encouraged to strengthen the Baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, Trump wants a lower USD and the Thai Government of the minute wants a higher Thai Baht. 33 Thai Baht to the AUD is extremely high and is unlikely to be repeated for a long long time, unless minerals take off again. I've experience the hight teens, the low to mid twenties and low thirties and I reckon the Thai Baht to the AUD is about in the middle atm. The fact is Thailand is not such a cheap place to live any more if you want to stay relatively Western, that the problem for expats and holiday makers alike. However if you go bush it is cheaper however at risk of going tropo. You are incorrect. Trump wants a stronger dollar: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-davos-meeting-trump-dollar/trump-says-he-wants-strong-dollar-cnbc-interview-idUSKBN1FE2TK The U.S Fed reserve is currently shrinking its balance sheet and rates will rise there this yr. This is going to result in a stronger U.S dollar for sure. I think the AUD/Thai will be better then as well for all of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U.S. Treasury Department have issued a stern warning to the Bank of Thailand. STOP MANIPULATING THE BAHT or you are joining China and India as the only three countries in the entire world who are manulipulating their currency. The loss of face will be masive and the baht will nosedive to where it should be. The Fed raised interest rates making investing in the U.S. more attactive, Trump in Davos yesterday pledged to make the U.S. dollar a lot stronger and should these ja..ckoffs at the Bank of Thailand continue to ignore the warning the chickens are about to come home to roost. I welcome this disaster for the Thai economy and fully intend to take advantage of the strong dollar. but will the stronger USD result in a better exchange rate for AUD/THB ? I hope so but unsure.

So they are hammering China for keeping their currency LOW,to support exports, and Thailand for keeping their currency HIGH - for what reason? Because it discourages Thai girls working as prostitutes overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the thing, see that guys in the corner keeping quiet about currency movements, well he's a multi millionaire and doesn't have time for ThaiVisa because he is too busy making money. Everyone here is an amateur speculator concerned about their personal currency fluctuations - right. We all have a valid opinion in this topic and of course most people will probably be incorrect, except for that quiet guy in the corner.....................

More Australians want to buy Thai baht than Thais want to buy Australian dollars, more demand and the baht price goes up. Australia has a demand for Baht, to come here on holiday, to buy cars, hardrives, air conditioners, cheap seafood at woolies etc, thats the demand that pushes the baht price up. Besides a couple of well off thais and some gold imports, Thailand doesnt have much demand for Australian currency. Low demand and the Australian dollar price goes down. very well explained that is the Aussie problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From past experience the exchange at the airport was only a little difference from Pattaya. If you were only changing a hundred bucks or so the difference would be minute.
