Seems that Thai green curry at one of the UK's top restaurants is only 145 THB ... (House of Commons menu 2018) https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/foi/transparency-publications/hoc-transparency-publications/catering-services/catering-services-menus-and-tariffs/ Yes they get it cheap ,multiply that by4 for the man in the street restaurants ,mind you you could half it for the restaurants for the Brussels crowd .
June 18, 20197 yr Always someone else's fault you voted to leave with no plan suck it up - 25 to the pound ain't you the masochist. I can understand the UK expat who has sufficient overseas assets/income personally benefitting from such a drop. I can also understand if one's income is sufficiently high to fully discount such a drop, but to suggest to others not in such a position to embrace the downside in the Brexit "cause" is total nonsense equivalent to selling snake oil.

If Article 50 is revoked you’ll be back to 50. Won't be nowhere near 50 if it gets revoked.. Thai baht is the strongest Asian currency and you will be lucky to get 45 if it is revoked.

Thai Baht , is stronger than gbp. {lower caste] Soon Euro and gbp, will be the same , before gbp falls even further .. Edited June 18, 20197 yr by elliss

Strongest currency in Asia is the Thai baht and even with a Brexit deal you won't be getting more then 45B

They would have signed away our car manufacturing to Japan even if we'd decided to stay in the EU. Why would we want to stay in a club that takes our money then kicks us in the b@lls like that?

June 18, 20197 yr Its worth noting now that in referencing a base point rate of 40:1 with GBPTHB, each individual baht drop requires a Sterling down of 2.5%. 10% on 40 only takes us to 36. The markets are reportedly discounting a 6 month extension to the current deadline. Short of an actual no-deal shambles Sterling likely to potter around below 40 unless BJ doesn't make it. If that happens Sterling going back up above 40.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

June 19, 20197 yr Can't say that of the EURO, we are at the very bottom of 35 right now. Hoping for a bounce on the 5 year chart (March 14th 2015 was same) but if it breaks 34.5 it ain't good.... Not sure how any European could accept living here if it goes down below this much more, you got to be really loaded to not feel this (or living on already exchanged savings somehow).

June 19, 20197 yr Popular Post it is just not the British, the Aussie dollar is 20.7 baht . AUDTHB is a different story. Markets see AUD as essentially a play on China via its focus on raw materials so is caught up in the current trade wars. GBP on the other hand is more of a self-imposed self-mutilation scene out of Jaberwocky with the likelihood of Brexit no-deal playing the role of leading villain. Stick that into the historical paint pot and down we go.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Not sure how any European could accept living here if it goes down below this much more, you got to be really loaded to not feel this (or living on already exchanged savings somehow).The exchange rate for sure may increase churn at the margins but since so much of one's expenditure is discretionary, then there are endless options to adjust one's net expenditure to match reduced total of bahts received. One example might be say Lady Drinks expenditure. Poor girls should get a briefing on how its all Boris's fault.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
June 20, 20197 yr Ask now if the Pound can hold 38, look at what you get at Bangkok bank if you exchange pounds for Baht.

That was due to Draghi's hint that he would lower interest rates and increase QE. The Baht is strong against all major currencies including the Dollar, Pound, and Euro. This won't change anytime soon unfortunately.
