Thai Foreign Exchange Rates

Now the big question is were major currencies over valued and we are now feeling the effects or are we being taken for a ride yet again?

Good question and interesting overall analysis Hound!

I think the equilibrium FX rate might be in the neighborhood of 25 baht/USD as before the Asian currency crisis of 1997.

From what I read, it is not easy for a small country such as Thailand to keep currency propped up, and I think the BOT would prefer a somewhat weaker baht to makle exports (and tourism is an export too in this sense) more atractive.

It's clear to me that the average Joe in the West is hurting while ASEAN counties are are on the upswing and in my view that's the longterm macro trend.
