Just easier for me - would take longer to log into my bank and transfer the funds , this way I only have to confirm my security code for my card and the difference is only about £2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Poor Euro holders suffering here also. In fact looking on a 5 y chart one could say "back to normal" after being lucky last year. Aussies are worse off .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Will be higher when they open today.

Toy Boy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The pound's fetching 41.22 Baht in TT at the moment. It's a lot better than the 36.50 I was getting back in November, anyway. Happy days are (almost) here again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) With all the shit going on in Thailand its pretty sad the US dollar has only moved up a bit more than 1 point......I mean like whats it going to take to get a rally going?......A full scale nuclear war? A 2000 foot tidal wave? Or What? Some one wants the baht to stay strong no matter what it seems to me......

Nope....with $225 Billion of foreign currency reserves (which I think now places them 11th in the world) they can buy their own currency on international markets virtually indefinately to keep it at a level they desire. Its not manipulation per se or fraud or anything inbetween 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
