When the euro down to 30 thb is it time to go home?

[Sandman77]

Just imagine , when the euro fall again after a maybe Greek exit eu in the same level , after the ugly ezb deal yesterday and one euro hits 30€, is it then time to go home for most expats?

Where is your limit?

If you live same standart like in Europe 3000k euro in one month or maybe more are gone in only 4 week!

There are many ways to hedge against currency fluctuation. Look into ETF's or funds with assets denominated in other currencies. If you are living hand to mouth though, this becomes much more difficult to achieve.

3000K Euro per month.

That is what I call a nice standard of living

[Sandman77]

I not need 3000€ every month only in high populated tourist area with high rent , for food minimum 1500 Bhat aday

[Crazy chef 1]

Sandy what do you eat for 1500' thb a day seems a bit over the top.last week i made i beautiful schweinsbraten,8 portion in total with red cabbage and different styles of potato dishes didn't cost me even 500 thb...

btw the exchange rate for the euro don't affect me at all my salary is in Baht...

The drop will stop somewhere, low euro doesnt benefit Thailand as it relies on Tourism income.

That's not a very nice or correct answer.

[FritsSikkink]

ezb deal

one euro hits 30€,
3000k euro in one month

Read before you post please.

I don't see any reason for Thailand to devalue its' currency, as trade will more than make up for any deficit from tourists. So, if you aren't getting any more than a government pension, yeah, you might be in trouble.

[YeahSiam]

Depends on how many euros you can bring in every

month, I would've thought. The Brits will be joining

this party soon enough albeit not of their own

volition.

Don't complain to me, Euroman . While we Americans had crappy exchange rates for years, you Europeans were living the high life in Thailand. About time the Euro has taken a hit from it's lofty levels. Can't say I really sympathize. Anyways, the US$ has been crappy but there are still plenty of American expats around. Guess the ones with no money or lacking the will to stay will go home first.

What the?

Talk about hyper sensitive.

First of all stop letting ur missus do the shopping with extended family together.

[tartempion]

On a serious note: my pension is +-3000 euro/month, if THB goes South to 30 I wont be back (fly to Europe every 6 months for 1 month, April and September flight tickets booked and paid for). Spending winter 2015/2016 in Europe becomes a possibility. The only thing I will miss really is warm weather 350 days/year.

yeah maybe you forgot your "high life" on your Europen tour before the Euro was introduced, cant really sympathize

[puukao]

Oh, this will be hurt at some point......but if yields went back to 16%....then just invest all your money in bonds and retire on the interest!!!!! on 100,000 bond, you get 16,000 a year....now you get less than 2,000 a year........
