A few of the other cheaper Aussie bottled wines did come down in price from 499 baht to 429 baht for a short while, but I see they have gone back up again. I am buying bottled bona fide (non-fruit juice) Aussie wines for 380 baht a bottle at the moment, and they are not half bad! any wine even home grown has a 15% duty, I believe.

Due th the £ loss of value I am paying twice as much in £ for the same item in Baht. And the shop keepers don't benefit from it. Only the Government benefits in their Foreign Currency Account. The more tourists keeps the Baht high. Get a job or start a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to put Thais off eating in there either! Fairly sure the beef cattle were kept in better conditions than most animals are in Thailand Does it really matter if they are kept in a 5 start hotel before being prodded with electric prods and being hung upside down bleeding to death, to scare them and make your Bic Mac tastier?

"......Jitipol Puksamatanan, Bangkok-based chief strategist at Krung Thai Bank Pcl. The third most-accurate forecaster for the currency last quarter predicts the baht will rise to 30.25 per dollar by the end of the year". Another kick in the teeth for exports and still PM Prayut says nothing, his silence is deafening which is a worry. One would expect him to say something since he recently appointed himself to the Chairmanship of the Council of Economic Ministers. Surely that makes him the official spokesperson. One can only conclude he is unsure of himself and doesn't know what to say. Prayutnomics, it appears, is not working. Except perhaps that the 20 Year plan will ensure the rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer. https://fortune.com/2019/08/06/thai-baht-currency-war-trade/ It is best to say nothing rather than opening your mouth and inserting foot in it. Something the Big Guy does often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcopops Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'd say that the sudden uncrease in oil prices will have and immediate effect on the Thai CoL. It remains to be seen if the subsidy to keep 30 baht per litre cap on diesel remains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
