My wife is currently in Samutsakorn, just outside Bangkok. She says local restaurants, video shops and other local businesses are suffering because people are not spending/spending less money than usual.

The word is Taksin has 8 months to go and will not be re-elected according to her sources. People say he is moving to fast. Also some pension plans have disappeared and government employees now have to work on saturday without a pay increase.

Also a couple of relatives that are higher up type police are going to quit. The only business that looks good right now is something connected with tourism.

What do you think? Accurate or not?

Oh yeah and the Bhat will be back to 41 soon...

Nonsense. He's on a roll, as is the economy.

What bar does she work at or which one does she get her/his info.

Actually she used to be a sales executive with Mercedes in Bangkok, smart ass.

She now works partime assisting me in back office management with my medical practice here in San Diego.
