History repeating itself in another region - LTV ratios of 90-97% existed in the USA before the 2008 crisis.. It was unsustainable there, it won't work in Asia either

Yet Western Govts are reducing rates in a bid to stimulate consumer spending.

Oh dear - get rid of the inbreds in the House of Lords? What a disaster!

The baht has been melting away since the junta took power, let's just not blame the rest of

the western world's exchange money alone. when the militaries take over a country nothing good can

come out of it.

Not cry

It always does ..

I predicted that after Brexit  whichever way they finally leave the The BP will not increase in value for at least 6 years which is nearly a recovery cycle (7 years)

When I came here I was lucky to gt 15 Bht to the AUD

Forever a Realist. And god is a concept by which we measure our pain. John Lennon also put a great tune to it. Song’s called “ God”

There's no such thing as financial prediction - between now and 2023 plenty of unforeseen events could happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the baht gets weaker (against USD/Euro) rather than stronger. As for the UKP though - who knows...

Maybe Thailand doesn't exist anymore by 2023, who knows? Anything possible in these weird times worldwide. But it's a tragedy for the Brits, I must confess. Let's hope for better days.

The falling Pound is taking its toll .

I now go on an intermittent fast for two days and then go to a 199 Baht all you can eat place 

If the Pound sinks any lower , I will either have to go on three day fasts or go to 159 Baht bar=be=que paces 

2023 - that financial prediction is about as accurate as a long term weather forecast for that year. Geeez give me strength.

      Thailand will exist,  long after the UK is ashes . RIP.
