What's It Gonna Take?

Insurgencies. Coups. Fraud.
Bombings in the south.
Bombings in Bangkok.
Idiotic currency restrictions.
Idiotic market restrictions.
Investor fears. Tourist fears.
Diplomatic tensions. Border tensions.

The goddamn bullet-proof Thai Baht is still stuck at 35.5 to the dollar. What's it gonna take to kill this inflated p.o.s.?

damn baht fell down to 34 + against the dollar so far today - at 930 am Central time as the market took a 13 point dive. I agree - it's amazing how resiliant the baht has been with all the internal problems Thailand has experienced and created for itself.

Here is a good ticker that I use:

The "official rate" would be the "USD50-100, Buying Rates, TT" number, which is at 35.65 as of this posting.
