Depends on your time of reference.  Yesterday, USD/Baht 32.69.  Right now, USD/Baht 32.50.  Kinda looks like the Baht is rising again.

Not against the GBP. Now 45.21, highest since mid 2016.

"Daily News went with a headline that said Covid was out of control creating stress in households and  salaries and employment were down putting pressure on livelihoods."

 

That government controled paper makes no mention of the terrible vaccine  screwups by Anutin and the government.

 

The Thai people aren't stupid and with social media they can get real time news.  People everyday are really getting upset with this inept government.  Things are shaping up for a change.

Preparing their emergency exit plans and o/s bank accounts, just in case.

No doubt they have been making those preparations and earning countless billions, for 7 long years now. Bank accounts all over the world. Extreme corruption. 

 

Hopefully, these creeps will face criminal charges, and hatred for the rest of their Iives.

Time to move money out of Thailand, but where?

 

The US are printing "Monopoly Money" on Andrex/Scotties?

 

Gold, Oil,?

 

Ah!....I know!.....BioTech!

It varies from day to day. From what I have been reading, a massive number of international investors consider Thailand a very unsafe and unwise place to have their money invested right now, and are pulling out in droves. Plus exports are way down. 

 

Can't blame them. The sluggard leadership does not inspire much confidence. 

Actually exports are way up this year from where they were last year although still considerably behind what they were in 2021. That's because of tourism. But the rest of the export economy is doing ok.

Not a single one of my wife's friends or relatives are earning anything on a daily basis, some have been without an income for over 3 weeks. These are ordinary honest hard working people attempting to put food on the table.

They are simply being pushed to one side, no help or empathy from the goons in charge, oh sorry I forgot our leader is forgoing 3 months wages! That's going to make a world of difference?  

I know what would make a difference.....

Ye, he is, although SCB is also a public company as well and as with any public company a simple google search will show you a list of the major shareholders. There are no secrets around this.

 

If no secret then let us know. All I saw on the Google were some former Shinn clan gov ministers.

I don't know what you were looking at, here's the list of Kasikorns largest shareholders, none of them are people.

I'm not claiming any knowledge of who the major shareholder is. But it is typical for shell companies to be created to hide the name of the person who actually owns the stock.

with this statement..I see the dollar hitting 40 once again

[SCOTT FITZGERSLD]

acctually it is pretty scary. i just came to phuket few days ago and am shocked to see how closed and empty is everything. half the shops are closed, seems like forever, and the few ones that are open are empty. allmost no people nor cars in the streets. not because of a curfew but because there are no customers.

sometimes when i walk in the street i get aggresive reactions. i looked at people sitting in one shop and they shouted at me in anger. other time i asked a saleswoman something, but did not buy it. she started shouting at me that she is working here all day and why don;t i buy.

i can understand how stressed they must be.

the beaches are so empty that it is scary to sit there all alone. i guess that is why they keep

on being empty.

i wonder why the government tried so hard to bring visitors here when they knew

they gonna lockdown the country soon. seriously, what were they thinking?

Kasikorn also said that last month 51.2% of households in a survey reported having less income. 

I think that this is what will force Thailand eventually to open fully without the hoops. Nobody having any money to pay tax!

indeed this is how it goes ! that is happaned also in the UK and US and BRAZIL  and MEXICO.

It is simply impossible to keep everything closed just to avoid infections.

so you control the virus but destroy many peoples lives. Thai government will

realise it aventually.

We're going to get to see REAL Thai culture play out. In the coming national crisis, the "bigger", more important people in Thai society will be saved first. There is no equity in Thai culture. Pooyai first, rest of Thai 2nd, foreigners last.

There are other successful situations.

 

The UK is still a big mess.

The US? 605,000 deaths and some shops open, hardly a good result.

That report has been proven to be totally fictitious. Many sources are saying due to low worldwide demand, the bloated baht and reduced staff, exports are down dramatically.

If he cared, he and the unnamed one would donate hundreds of millions of baht. If they cared. 

 

Anger is rising. There is going to be a great reckoning. Many hope they will be forced into exile. Prison is too much to hope for, so at least exile.

U.S. population is 5 times bigger than thailand. so it is like having 120000 deaths in thailand.

question now, how did thailand made it so safe, when its health system is much

worse than the U.S.? and when the pandemic started in china?

the answer is one of the too: 1. thai numbers lie 2. u.s. numbers lie
