Weakened Swiss Franc not affecting Thai exports, says DITP Director-General

[Ruud4u]

Do you know that staff at Mac Donalds in Switzerland makes more than 80,000 baht per month AFTER TAX.

Many Thai people wants to be a Hamburger baker in Switzerland.

Last week they had a raise and they earns NOW 100,000 baht

All to boost your knowledge about that beautiful country, where a beer costs more than 400 baht

sounds a bit like a long range pyramid scheme

little do you know about the Swiss economy.

Switzerland is the most complete country.

Big mountains, has always snow on the mountains, beautifull nature and it is very clean

It is the financial place for the rich on this planet.

Beside the big pharma manufacturers and Banks are settled in this country.

Their social system is perfect and tax-system attractive.

The strong position of the country makes their Swiss Franc so strong, that is the main reason from the appreciation from the Franc the latest 30 years.

The yearly meeting of the CEO from the biggest companies is in this country.

I worked there 4 years in the financial sector.

You have to visit this country to believe how wealthy and beautifull this country is.

Go for it ! and don't worry about their economy. It is also one of the strongest in this world.

I thought the Swiss franc rose 30%

it did. The DITP Director General is just a dumbell who probably had rich parents to buy his way through life. It sure pays to be stupid.

Since Thai Swiss watches have nothing to do with Switzerland (think China's Eastern Seaboard) then of course there will be no effect on prices. However, never one to miss the opportunity for a quick baht or 1000, the "real, yes mister real" watch vendors are expected to raise prices in accordance with the Swiss Franc's appreciation.

Cost for Made in China is 10%. Cost for Brand Name is 90%.
