Politicians never admit own faults, always shifting blame to someone else. Just look who Biden is blaming for high inflation in US. Thailand is doing nothing unusual here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactlty what part of this you would like me to mark as being sarcastic. Economy weakens and the baht will strengthen. Can you not see that I am suggesting currency manipulation or possibly you too are being toungue in cheek? If so please mark it (still not sure what that means).
