Ba(h)t out of Hell

[Jedimaster]

Many say that the US dollar is strong.

Well, they haven't looked at the Thai baht!

Thai Central Bank: "when I say jump, you say?"

Thai baht: "how high?"

What justifies Thailand having the strongest currency in the world? Free cannabis?

Meanwhile the government is complaining, the exporters are complaining, the tourists are complaining, and the retirees are contemplating their incredible shrinking pensions.

Thailand actually makes and exports tangible things of value at competitive prices, things that other countries want to buy. Unlike the West, which doesn't make anything anymore.

No, only people who don't understand how economics work do.
