Caitrin Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Aussies had it good for a while but back where it should be good news about the US dollar and i am real happy since I get me monies in dollars If you are American how else would you "get yer monies"? Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, . Enjoy your good luck, pray it lasts. I get half my monies in Yen. And it'll most likely be Yen that I convert when I land. Dunno yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks Robert, But it is strong, very strong compared to other ASEAN countries. You'd have to agree on that Rob. A thousand baht doesn't go far these days compared to ten years ago. Infrustructure has improved but everyday leisure pursuits have drastically increased. No wonder many are choosing to holiday in neighbouring countries, where inflation has stayed within tourist's budgets. Thailand is becoming too expensive, this is why they're are less tourists. But its only my opinion, for those who wish to argue against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so good sending money from Oz though , plus bank charges rip off. today's rate 25.5 was 30 once. Think for Oz natives you need to check out OZFOREX todays rate for bulk ( 100k plus ) was above 27 baht and small amounts a 'smidge' below 27 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtong Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 from all the efforts made to boost tourism, this is the only actual thing that can show results. maybe because it is done by external forces, and above the thainess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilsonandson Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 External forces weaken the strong baht againt the $? Could it be the shale oil boom or the lack of sexpats living it up in Pattaya? Hmm its an accountants nightmare. Research needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Supavud Saicheua, director of Phatra Capital, said the baht could reach 34 next year on the strengthening of the dollar. As a person who gets paid in USD, I really hope Khun Supavud is correct. The USD does indeed look like it's heading into a period of continued strengthening against many currencies...the tide has turned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaidaGwaii Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 More total BS? The Thai Baht is stronger than ever against most currencies right now. Why?????? This is after a shit load of political and financial BS for the last 3 years. I just don't get it. Maybe the Chinese are buying Baht??? Who is???????? The whole money exchange thing makes no sense at all. I expected the Baht to crash for the last 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidaGwaii Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The baht is high because the majority of all wealth in this country is in the hands of the few who are as tight as a Chinese jewish lesbian. Chinese is definitely a possibility... There is a push to get rid of Farang tourists... China wants Thailand for a destination... Something is at play right now.

ttthailand Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Since we are on the topic of the baht and exchange rate.... If I have Baht and wanted to exchange to US dollar to balance my cash between the two, can I just go to any of these exchange places on the street and exchange. Do I need a plane ticket ?

Torrens54 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Good for the exports and better for me that I will be getting more Baht:thumbsup: But you WON'T be getting more Baht because it remains ridiculously high against everything except the USD...so if your income is in Euros there is a net loss ( but just be grateful the drachma is history ). As for the Aussie Dollar....you'll find it "in the gutter." Lowest in four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
