just checked and the pound is down to 58 baht.why is it that the baht is holding up so well? or is it that the pound is down the toilet,will it get any better<come on experts let us know .

Does it matter? If you are exchanging GBP for THB the rate is what it is, same for any currency exchange. I don't look at in in a light of strength nor weakness, my GBP's get me 58 THB which means Thailand is a little more expensive now. In a year's time it might be more expensive or it might be cheaper. Nothing I can do about it but be happy I have no Icelandic whatsits nor any money in Iceland.

That is a good attitude to take. The fact is as everyone should know the UK economy is in a mess and sterling will continue to weaken - it will get very boring if everytime someone gets a lower baht rate when they use their atm's that they then post the results on here. Take the prudent view that the rate will be considerably lower and plan your budget accordingly.

Th perception is, and it might be true, that Thailand has no apparent exposure to the bad debt situation other countries have. If that's so, it shouldn't need to debase it's currency as other nations now are. Have no idea if this is a ST or LT phenomenon. Thailands markets ARE exposed to the deleveraging of global assets as can be seen by some rather nasty market movements, which I expect will continue.
