The exchange rate in 2004 was about 1.40 , which is about 15 % difference, rather than being 100 % different .

Exccept we weren't working with Euros - the echange rate I mentioned was actually for another European currency. Maybe my post was misleading. But it halved.

Which currency is that ?

I've kept mine.

 

Even after nearly 20 years with Thailand as my home, and 15 since buying the wife a house in Hat Yai.

 

I've not rented it out as I don't need the money or the hassle. Whilst having it gives me a useful footprint in the UK, and a base when visiting. As an investment it's done reasonably well, compounded return is about 5.5% per annum judging from recent nearby sales listed on Zoopla.

 

As said in other responses, if you don't need to burn a bridge, don't.
