You can bet all the imported Farang foods and drink will rise in price,

due to the weakening of the Bhat,they were even going up when the

Bhat was strong, also notice some of the Farang foods I buy regularly,

are not to be found,a sure sign prices will go up.

Read the report again. MIC did not say prices are low, just that prices are stable.
