You might want to look up words like limit down, limit up and trading curbs as almost all stock markets in all countries use these. Sorry I did not realize you needed clarifications. Do countries buy currencies? Yes of course they do. Some countries pretend they don't but they all manipulate currency. Some like China openly.

I did ask a question that I don't think you attempted to answer. Could give some examples of controlled or restricted markets like Singapore and how it has hurt them? I would still like an answer if you don't mind.

you would get an answer if this thread WAS about Singapore or any other country, but its not, it is about Thailand.

Just as you stated in post 18, or have you forgotten already

You wrote and I quote, "Like currency is not floated on the open market but is manipulated, like stock exchange gets closed if it starts to drop too fast or too much." Are those things good or bad? If they are either good or bad how do you know they are good or bad? How would I know what you meant? All countries do those things you mentioned.

So what was your point? S&P says Thailand is doing great. Do you think so too?

my point is that thailand economy is not open but is manipulated. It is simply impossible not to be affected by anything at all. Even the strongest economy's such as China gets affected by events around the world, Thai economy is the only one that does not.

Even internal problems, such as floods did not seem to have much of an impact, which is simply impossible without some sort of manipulation

Is it good or bad? well it depends on who is answering the question and where they answering it from.

Do i think its a wise way to run the economy? again depends on my interests.

Being a business owner in Thailand its great because the currency i earn is strong,

I think that was the point of the S&P article. Thailand is a good place to invest in a business. I would agree and I have.
