Stickman Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Actually the Thai baht has *weakened* against some major currencies in the last 2-3 weeks such as the USD. The OP is Australian and his finances are presumably in AUD. That currency has taken a hammering in the past two weeks against the baht. An Aussie dollar was getting over 32 baht a couple of weeks ago whereas today will be lucky to get 29.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 not quite correct! THB/USD was pretty stable, but both appreciated (got STRONGER) against AUD as well as Euro Euro is today 50.83 and was 52.59 3 weeks ago! THB/USD 8.Aug: 33.56 1.Aug: 33.44 25.7.: 33.35 18.7.: 33.22 rates are TT buying at Kasikorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't follow the Euro and wasn't talking about it. The table of rates you include supports my argument. The USD has strengthened against the Thai baht in the past two weeks. Not by much, but still over one clear percentage point. If you follow it every day, you would have noticed a gradual, but clear trend. The Australian dollar is what is relevant here. That, like its Kiwi counterpart, has been hammered over the past two weeks, against both the USD and the baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Who knows what his Aussie dollars are worth in total as presumably he will exchange them / transfer them as and when he needs funds and there will be many ups and downs in the currency market over 18 months or 2 years.

unit731 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I could understand it if you wanted to spend a 18 months travelling around Thailand or SE Asia but spending all that time mongering in Pattaya seems like a waste of 18 months to me. I happen to agree with Mr. Munch. There is culture to see in Thailand. And there are other venues such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia. And Vientiane and so much more to see. Life is much more than just paying for one GTG after another. Mongering for 18 months? Give me a break! Ya, one best set aside $$ for the multiple hospital visits for creams and ointments and for treatment of Terminal Vaginitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
