I thought teachers were in financial trouble? 0% interest loans in a time of 5%+ inflation are quite attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The Teflon Baht is super resilient, and when statements are made like in the OP it just strengthens it, which tells me there is some true shenanigans going on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard (true or not? not sure) that the Govt and Hi So's got caught with too much money in their accounts here and the BOT was trying to hold up the baht while everyone with too much were transferring funds out of the country as fast as they could 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
