The problem is with the loss of strength of the USD. BOT should not debase the THB. Let the citizens of the government in the United States of America worry about the the strength of their currency.

The Bank of Thailand is doing the right thing by not lowering interest rates. There is absolutely no reason to. Lowering interest rates is going to inject needless liquidity into economy and drive up inflation. That is something Thai people do not need.

What the Thai people do need is to store their wealth in gold and Bitcoin. Thai economists should not pay any attention to a what the socialist economists in France have to say what so ever. France nor their economy should serve as an example to Thailand or quite frankly other free and progressive countries in the world.

Thai business simply need to tighten up cost controls if they are exporters. 5% increase in prices are not going to stop people from High Income countries from taking their vacations.

Holla!

You can overlook one wacky statement but 2 in one post -OMG!

A strong THB is good for the Thai people and the economy in general.

What the Thai people do need is to store their wealth in gold and Bitcoin.

The Thais need to cut personal debt.

Discussions between the BOT (which is slowing down) and the government (which would like to lower them) about adjusting interest rates. This concerns household debt (very high in Thailand) and the value of the baht which is a problem for exports (potentially for tourism too) : https://www.zonebourse.com/actualite...chef-47993112/.

We'll soon know if the price bounces back on support 36 or if we continue the tumble.

Reading your experience with application process helped me out. Thanks!

Hell yeah. I am glad yours was quicker. They keep trying to put you through the ringer. I was just about to say look mfs are you going to give it to me or not.

Anyone down to play some pickleball? I'll be here for the next few weeks. Pretty easy to pick up if you play tennis. Read they have paddles and balls at the court too.

Not interested now? Anyone else. Be there 5th- 22nd Oct.

Just got approved for the DTV. Took 14 days in total.

I applied online in Brazil. Price was 2000 reais. ($357 US at the time). Provided a copy of my Airbnb stay in Brazil, paystubs, a recent photo and picture of my passport and a letter saying I was allowed to work from home from my boss.

They reached out a week later and asked for proof of 500000 that in a bank account or a sponsorship letter and an employment contract or certificate of employment saying I'm a remote worker, digital nomad etc.

I responded with a PDF showing the money in my bank account and a letter from my human resources saying I'm a remote worker. A few days later they said they need and employment contract or certificate of employment or a portfolio showing I'm a digital nomad, remote worker.

So I had human resources make up an employment certificate saying I'm a remote worker and that sealed the deal.

So paystubs didn't work nor did the letters at least at the Brasília embassy I applied to for the visa online.

I got approved for the Destination Thailand Visa yesterday. 1 month was the total time. August 5 to September 6. 5 times they contacted me wanting me to send more documents. I said I worked for a company that my brother owns so he was able to make me 2 payslips when they requested that. I was able to find an employment contract online to fix up how I needed, and the letter from HR saying I could work remotely, my brother sent me his letter head and I wrote up myself. Somebody online said they used a dentist appointment (because medical procedure is also a reason to get the visa) and they were approved right off.

I will happily admit that I have no clue about the price of a Thai gold baht

Store value how ever you like my ISG brother. I happen to like how Gold is integrated into the economy here in Thailand. It allows me to simultaneously hedge currency exchange risks and inflationary policies when it comes to my short term emergency funds that I need for my Thailand operational expenses.

Thai gold is fungible As long as you don't damage the gold you enter the gold shop and sell it back to them at the price being offered on that day. A mother fucker told me when I first arrived I would lose my ass if bought Thai Gold. That is why I do not take financial advice from International Tricks. Gold prices are up significantly from when I first started buying on arrival. I introduce my visiting friends to Thai Gold and they have purchased significant amounts.

Gold utility in Thailand is common and a source of earnings for the people. Gold jewelry is widely used in ornaments for different family events. It also serves a store of values and source of emergency fund during financial crisis.

ATF told me she survived the COIVD shut down by selling off her gold. She is re-accumulating it. I am buying right there with you.

Check the international price of gold in USD. What does it tell you about the future value of fiat currency world wide?

nor do I plan to ever know.

I never plan to travel to other countries with other than my ATF. No random traveling prostitutes for me. But you my ISG Brother:

Dowhatchalike!

100 percent correct my brother. That is why I am sticking with what is tried and true. I'll let others run the gauntlet.

Price of Baht (15.244 Grams) of 24 K (96% Pure Gold) is 40,200 THB.

Feels like a midget is hanging on my necklace - Stand Up, Ludacris.

It said no numbers have been released. That is just talk put out by internet bloggers.

Correct from reports, since mentuoned I looked up the requirement looks like a good deal..

The problem is the government leadership like to blow smoke with no clear picture as to how to go about anything. There has been so many so call Visa people to invest, Elite, then all go the waste basket even IO officier can't keep travk here to gone tomorrow. This is the highway their PM travel, get elected don't count, the Senate select new PM, months later don't like him so out the door, next up Thaksins daughter picked by handpick MP's contrary to what the Senate claim.

Then you got the Weed issue passed, new guy says it is out, second in command Anutin say No it isn't.

Next up casinos they did a report a study going to approve but no one seen it.

Here rules are made to be broken so are Visa LOL.

[Mr Enternational]

Only 1500-2500 DTVs have been issued. I would have thought that number would have been MUCH higher.
