That is one of the most laughable statements i have ever heard.

The thought that ex pats, who have sold up the UK, are in the slightest bit interested in what's going on in the UK, as their spending power declines, is beyond belief.

I can hear them cry 'They like it up them' as they sit eating chicken and rice in a hole in the wall.

Let me be clear, a declining, and more importantly, stagnant pound is a disaster for those of us who spend a lot of time in Thailand.

It should serve as a warning to those who wish to live full time in Thailand. Keep all your income bearing assets in the UK and when events conspire against you, you can return.

We are at the beginning of a very long and perilous journey to detangle ourselves from the EU.

It's not my opinion. It's an economic fact.

If you had sold up in the UK, your sterling spending power has decreased 27 percent

since Brexit. 55 baht to 40 baht.

If you are one of the very few who can successfully generate a thai baht income in Thailand eg business etc then best of British luck to you.

For the rest, they are in a world of trouble.

Lovely boy!!!

You have no idea what it's all about do you? It's about what is best for the UK population, not a few UK pensioners in Thailand and the exchange rate. Not everybody here needs to import funds in sterling. Proper expats, not retirees, don't care about the fluctuations of the pound, in fact some enjoy the benefits.
For the whole of the UK, let the detangling begin.

We BRITISHA are resilliant and resourceful..surely you know that.
Pity now perhaps some of the eu subsidy junkie states citizens.
Also perhaps pity the hard pressed German taxpapers who may well become the brussels eu atm machine finance dept???

What percentage are proper ex pats who generate an income in Thailand?

It does not matter to Brexit, nor do those who only wail (or sneer from the sidelines) about the unfavourable exchange rate. The issue at hand is the decision for the UK to Leave the EU. It's a national thing. 

It's obvious from many of the Remainer posts in these forums that their only interest is the affect on their incomes. Well nobody in the UK cares about that, least of all Leavers.

Funny how one old timer speaks for a nation of 70 million...brits are not generally resourceful and even more so the ones in thailand,they will generally blow money quicker than other nationalities.

[david555]

BTW does has anybody already results for the U.K European elections? As I don't find anything ,in The Netherlands the socialist made big gain before the ruling party from PM Rutte

I note you didn't answer my question.

A tiny minority of Brits make a successful business income in Thailand.

I would also guess that a large number of these still have assets in the UK.

As for wailing and sneering, its the last thing i am doing, as i spend a considerable amount of time in Thailand every year.

The exchange rate effects me as much as everyone else.

The clue to the exchange rate discussions is the word Thai in the name of these forums.

If you are making a commercial life for yourself in Thailand, and have cut all ties with the UK, good luck.

Not something I would want to risk in a foreign country that may change the rules at the drop of a hat.

Don't forget that your so-called "proper" ex-pats, being younger than the retirees, are more likely to have voted to remain.

People in the UK will start caring when ex-pat retirees are forced back to the UK for economic reasons, claiming their index-linked pensions and filling up the hospital wards and doctors' waiting rooms.

The eu europhiles in brussels work by the ratchet method..a little bit at a time.
What do you think the various treaties were about..eg..the lisbon treaty..were they only there for a game if 5 a side footie and a piss up???

I don't know the answer to your question - can you enlighten me please? You may find the proportion higher if you ever ventured into the big city. Either way, it means naught related to the argument for or against Brexit, but not all Thailand expats are fixated on a Remain position due to exchange rates. Personal finance is the last thing that should be considered in regard to the future of the, but that's selfishness of Remainers for you.

There does not appear to be many of them on this forum though, given the amount of Remainer wails about the pound. As 'proper' expats are more likely to be specialists, managers and businessmen used to dealing in the big wide world, rather than stay at home europhiles, your Younger/Remainer assumption may not actually be the case.

It means everything in relation to Brexit.

Before brexit 55 baht, after brexit 40 baht.

I hope your accounts department have a better grasp of basic economics.

Why do you care about the future of the UK?

Are you a true ex pat or one that has hedged his bets with assets still in the UK?

Your defensive stance would indicate the latter.

So you don't even have an answer to your question, and it wasn't asked as rhetorical was it?

The issue of Brexit is not about the exchange rate or a few Brits in Thailand, no matter how much its' effects.

I care very much about the future of the UK, which I why I still want to Leave. The UK and its' citizens will have a better future as an individual free trading sovereign state rather than vassal to an EUsuperstate.

Yes, a very true expat of many years standing around the world, not a pensioner on a warm retirement.

We have not left yet. I can imagine the value of our GBPeso becoming considerably worse...

[WillyPlatt]

Unfortunately, i fear you may well be right.

It is highly likely that the new Tory leader may well be to the right of the party. That combined with a Marxist labour party, means that the lib dems will pick up a lot of middle ground votes.

Add Farage to the mix and we have a completely split electorate.

A friend of mine, a 30 year veteran of Thailand, remembers it touching 38 briefly.

I don't think people realise the gravity of the situation, the biggest peace time crisis the UK has seen.

We now face a summer of leadership elections and the speculators could have a field day with sterling.

For a large number of UK retirees and regular visitors, things are going to get very expensive.

The snide attitude of one poster beggars belief.
