It will return to 50 baht?, 55 baht?, 70 baht, better? The pound has been in long term decline for decades. Short term recoveries are mere blips in the ever downward spiral.

CNY/GBP 15.8, today 8.75. I don't really care, I get paid in CNY and I have no ambition to go back to Englanistan. My property here isn't losing hand over fist and oddly enough my tenants are Chinese. I just pop over to Thailand for a pork pie and a mucky woman. I leave my investment income in GBP in the Chinese bank. On a 12 month freeze I can get 3,8% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheungWan Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 5 hours ago, Fairynuff said: And yet this forum is riddled with expat brexiters. Turkeys voting for Xmas ? Well so far yes, but they think their project is heroic so following a 25% drop in Sterling is just a part of the price. Vague projections of a post-Hard Brexit sterling are just for show. It is unfortunate that those fully dependent on Sterling denominated income have been snagged as collateral damage. Putting blame is somewhat irrelevant. Those of us who are or have been in a position to take evasive action re Sterling fallout can do so or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 15 hours ago, Chivas said: I find it seriously alarming that across multiple threads currently running and in the past that a serious amount of posters dont understand how Foreign Exchange works. There is NO direct exchange rate between "Sterling"/Baht or "Euro"/Baht (enter your own "currency") EXCEPT the worlds reserve currency the US Dollar. The US Dollar is the only currency that has a direct exchange rate with every other currency in the world The Baht takes its currency fix off the USD 24/7 and EVERY other currency exchange rate involves two pairs of currencies to calculate the FX rates we see There is NO little man thinking I'll give 39 for the Brits today 22 for the Aussies and I dont like Merkel this week so we'll give the Euros 34 For Brits you take Sterling/Dollar and multiply it by Baht/Dollar to give the Interbank rate For Euro you take Euro/Dollar and multiply it by Baht/Dollar to give interbank rate......and so on Hope that helps a few.

Popular Post Wazoo Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 So... we don't need the pound to be strong yet.. samsung and toyota are the first to leave for Vietnam, 2 of many to follow. thai air are on their knees... thai bart is too strong but that bubble is headed to burst... add if and when we do get out of the eu, preferably with no deal and man i would not want to be paid in euros then. It will freefall without the pound holding it up.. after we go, i hope we do, watch the eu come begging for us to buy their cars, cheese, wine etc. UK represents almost 20% of their GDP. . Think they are going to leave that parked on the docks? No way. Then watch the pound increase in value each and every time we strike another deal with the USA, Canada, Japan, the EU etc etc.. i have lost over 20% of my income since 2013 and happy to do so if thus gets us out of this eu dictatorship... cya:0) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
