Year on year is frequently used when talking about comparisons vs. the previous period and has been for years.......... Year after year, like day after day, has a completely different meaning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 With the poor global economy and Thai political uncertainty, it's no surprise that foreign investors are not currently investing as much in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
