Jasun Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well, it's up a tiny bit against the USD, down against the AUD for the week. Maybe it's as much about stirling strengthening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they get this sorted out, looks like a free scooter payment for me. Forgot to explain....it has soared from 31.20 to 32.25 in one month. Payday is today. I take it out (2,700 usd) and get about the equivalent of my monthly motor scooter payment (2,400 baht). Definitely not small potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Well it's up against the Yen. (Bhat) The Yen is up against the baht. When the baht drops in value against other currencies it means we get more baht. Happy days for farangs.

tim armstrong Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Still believe its just hedge funds and others playing money games using the unrest as an excuse. Alernatively someone? could have discovered the real extent of gov't debt, brought about by rice pledging and mega infrastructure projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Berkshire Posted December 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2013 "Big time??" The OP must be the real excitable type. The baht only weakened a few pennies against the US$, normal fluctuations. Why do people use such dramatic (read inaccurate) words in their thread title? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiestyFarang Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 xe.com is good for normal currencies but even they say rates in Thailand may differ (The THB rate shown below is the international (off-shore) rate. Rates used within Thailand may vary) A better site for Thai Baht in Thailand is http://www.scb.co.th/scb_api/index.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toscano Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I too have been watching the Thai Baht go down against the British Pound . Good new at the time I make my monthly transfer of funds .

rightlineman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So if you draw a straight line on the peaks, leaving out the extreme high in the center move up, that should be next resistance. I have 33 baht for the Dollar. Maybe get the miss to open an account and buy her some stock, between 1,000 and 1,200, if this doesn't end soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Suradit69 Posted December 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well it's up against the Yen. (Bhat) The Yen is up against the baht. When the baht drops in value against other currencies it means we get more baht. Happy days for farangs. And it means all the imported items in the stores that so many farang seem to crave will be more expensive. If/when the baht strengthens those higher prices will probably not retreat. It wasn't that long ago that so many farang were moaning that they would have to pack it in because of the rising baht in terms of their home currencies. It may not be the great bonanza that some seem to think, but it would probably be prudent to buy more baht now, either to store in the bank or to buy gold as its price sinks or even to stock up on some consumer goods that have a long shelf life. These things tend to be cyclical despite the belief of some that rates only go in one direction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
