Re: Manipulation of the baht (PM Mailbag Friday, 10 April 2015) – Hello David, I like your letter very much; there is no comparison between the UK and Thai economies, and more importantly, their infrastructure. The exchange rate is bad. I must admit that my heart doesn’t exactly bleed for you if you’ve got around 65,000 baht coming in each month; I’m having to save to make the 800,000THB required fro a retirement visa. If I lived here all year round I’d have to rely on the UK State Retirement Pension to live on, and even at today’s dismal exchange rate I could still save a bit, as long as I have nothing to do with the ladies.
