Import tax and greedy monopolies. Plus the belief that all foreigners are rich and willing to be fleeced.

There are local alternatives. Try 'Amoy' baked beans instead of Heinz Beanz.

He knows as much about economic fundamentals as the rest of the administration, they are rather big words after all and two of them together really is a stumper.

And if you don't like the taste of 'Amoy' baked beans, just smother them in Heinz ketchup. Yummy.

Asian currecies are strong as the economic strength gradually shifts to the East. Thai bashing will not improve purchasing power of farangs. Those who came here with limited finances are hurting the most. And bashing the most. Its understandable as a cornered person is most ferocious. I empathise with those hurting as their home currency trickles down against the baht and the pressure of making ends meet on dwindling funds takes a toll.

That's not the Thailand I'm seeing ......Thailand’s Top 10 Exports

February 2, 2019
Located in the Southeast Asian Indochinese peninsula, the Kingdom of Thailand shipped US$249.8 billion worth of goods around the globe in 2018. That dollar amount reflects a 9.8% gain since 2014 and a 5.8% increase from 2017 to 2018.
Year-over-year, the fastest-growing product categories were exported organic chemicals (up 31%), mineral fuels including oil (up 28.2%), then plastics and plastic items (up 14.3%).
