Popular Post berrec 460 Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 OMG these clowns are actually setting government policy on Thailand travel. it's just a continuous circle of comedy musical chairs, You can not make this stuff up or should I say stuff-ups. You really would like to be a fly on the wall when these brain surgeons sit down and dream up these ongoing changing policies. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I should have made it clear that there are plenty of trees on Pattaya Beach. As I type this I'm looking at people sitting in the shade under them--long holiday weekend and the big north Pattaya hotels are doing ok. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Banana7 1,292 Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) 18 hours ago, Pattaya Spotter said: And they learned their lesson...thus no problems in 2008/09. In addition, the 1997 crisis was a currency crash, when the artificially pegged Thai baht/US dollar exchange rate could no longer be sustained by the Bank of Thailand and foreign currency denominated loans take out by Thai businesses and property developers couldnt be paid back. That’s not the case today. Big problems are coming. Bank and finance company NPLs are rising because BOT's debt suspension scheme ends Oct. 22. This scheme avoided classifying true NPLs as a NPL. One bank reported loans 1-3 months behind in payment are now at 7-8 per cent, normally at 3%. This bank foresees lots more NPLs, and needs to more tier 1 capital so it is issuing USD$500 million in perpetual bonds on Oct. 14, yield 5-6%. One of the conditions on the bonds is that they cannot be repaid within 5 years. Other banks will be following this pattern. Another way banks could increase tier 1, is to issue shares, but their prices are depressed because of the NPLs, and forecast of reduced profits. Estimates are as high as 40% of loans will become non-performing, which equates to about 2 trillion baht. 40% of all loans were registered in BOT's debt suspension scheme! Lots of banks and finance companies will be looking for capital/cash to stay alive. They will have to go to foreign currencies/markets to get that enormous amount of capital.
