GBP £ now below 40 Baht.

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

The above chart is the 10 year one. Is this the first time it's broken the £1/40THB level?

If that is your prediction of Brexit I may return when it happens. All I remember in business, was losing money, due to European law. I am not saying that the law's and regulations were all bad.
But who in their right mind's allows such as food mountains, because we don't need your produce, so most can rot, after giving the butter to the aged. Sea fishing allocated at a certain amount in your own waters, allowing other countries there fair catch from your stock. Too many they go back dead over the side. Farms paid subsidies to let land grow wild for flora and fauna.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

I’m glad I had the holidays I had in Pattaya in my 30’s, not even taking into account the 60% drop in the exchange rate we used to play golf every day of the week and the cost of that has increased 4-6 fold, out every night and beer has almost doubled, the purple persuader got you very attractive company if you wanted it and I’m guessing that has gone up exponentially in opposite proportion to attitude and attractiveness. Accomodation is probably the thing that has increased the least in baht terms and I’m actually getting cheaper flights from London to Bangkok now than I was 20 years ago.

I dread to think what the equivalent 3 week holiday would cost in Sterling terms now compared to the late nineties early 2000’s.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
