Because that is when the rice crop is harvested and a lot of farmers have to sell.  Before the coup the GVT had be paying more than the international market for rice.  If the military stops that Rice sckeme, I would expect the baht to fall. 

However, I have been wrong before.

Unfortunately I am short on Thai funds.   So I have to transfer some money.   The TT rate is 31.85, so I will check what I get with a $5K BB transfer.   

Hopefully this will take care of me through Feb.   I will monitor the exchange rates closer around Dec.

Wow, got a bump.  I saw rates of 31.5 to $1 last week, but now at 32.12.

Not sure what is the problem here, other than horse face (US SoS) making comments against the Thai Coup. 


But the Baht is gaining, 31.8 to $1.

Admin, I am not sure what you mean. 
 
 
I track rates to transfer at the best times for me. 
 
 
Super Rich today went above 32, however That banks remained below 31.8,   
 
 
What is the best time to tranfer?    I do not know. 
 
 
 
However, I personally set a rate, and when that rate is acheived, I transfer.

S/r = sell rate, b/r = buy rate. You get different rates depending on what you do.

Wow, 32.4 to $1 at super rich. 

May be a good time to transfer. 

However, I am waiting until December.

Well Super Rich is at 32.44 to $1. 

However, this is Friday, so you can't do bank transfers until Monday, by then the rate usually drops.   


But then again, this is up about .5 baht from last month.

Just a quick look at the current rates.  The were down aroun 32.3 most of last month, but jumped to 32.5 today.   However, being a weekend they will probably fall on Monday before you can take advantage.

Nice surge in the USD, 32.75 to $1. 


Seems the shift of control of congress is already having a positive impact.
