I wonder if China suddenly declared they had the Black Death if Thailand would still be inviting them in to keep tourism up ?

When you hitch your economic wagon to the ChiComs, you’re in for a bumpy ride.  The Baht remains uncomfortably high.  The Mekong has lost precious volume.  Your exporters project a contraction this year. Thousands of Wuhan tourists have just arrived.

How can a small country expect to compete with China?

Considering Wuhan was closed on Wednesday, how did Wuhan empty itself in to Thailand?

 

Canoe?

 

The high baht has nothing to do with China and everything to do with the dollar.

 

The Mekong is low because of a drought, within China as well as Laos and Thailand.

 

Any more horse apples to share with us?

A credit default will certainly END the current “irrational exuberance” worldwide, as it did the last 3 times, wiping out billions and as before, will even catch sophisticated economists by surprise.

baht will take an almighty bath too! Personal Debt here is a joke.
