My opinion is the same in all the many threads on this subject, if you come to live here plan it after analyzing exchange rates history in the past for Thailand.

LivinLOS Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 You should budget for a potential doubling (=halving) of currency every decade. That was my worst case expectations when I retired here at 28.. Was looking at 6 or so decades potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
