Just here. I mean not in Thailand, but around.

Not dead, not even sick.

Just extremely busy. Painfully busy.

I’m waiting. For the right moment.

The Thai crisis will resume. Inevitably.

It will resume on the economic front, once the collective hallucination will end (remember the “Green Shoots” ? Seem so far away, already ?)… and of course on the political front.

Would like some analysis on the SET and 9% money growth since PAD took power. What’s up, dawg? Don’t worry – Aby and Korn are paper tigers. Kit Tung Mak. Miss your commentary.

Just because it does not show up on your incredibly short term (10 year) charts does not make it unprecedented. The last major recessions in the US were in 1982 and before that 1973-74. Your very short term view is causing your opinions to be horribly off.

Over one month without a blog entry… I really like your blog and regularly come here to check your views on the Thai economy and Thai politics. So I hope you’re OK, just on holidays or doing some other things and that you will blog
again soon.

Bye for now.

let me remind you your prophetic words 1.5 year ago in regard to SD:

“Watch out little general…”

apparently he didn’t watch out….

That’s the not good question.
The good question is : where are the currencies that are not manipulated ? ;-)

THB is nothing compared to USD, to EUR…

Nothing make any sense in the currencies market. Massive distorsion, everybody lying, cheating…

So in the middle of this galatic bordello, the THB well is just a tiny part.

Common sense does not apply anymore. So tanks could open fire in Bangkok’s street or Abhisit could strip naked on TV… the THB wouldn’t move. Maybe. Or maybe not. ;-)

Last but not least : maybe the THB is crashing… but since all the other fiat currencies are running toward the bottom too…. well you are not able to see it.

Everything is relative in the money market. ;-)

“The nightmare is : take the current situation, and just… invert it. Yellow become Red, and Red become Yellow… We can assume that the Red would launch some “campaigns”, a la PAD. ”

I (then as Hoktula) replied to him:

““Reds” might try to do same as PAD… in reality though – they stand no chance! because they do not have such as support of
ALL Thai elite and rich guys… as long as they lack such support of “ultra-right” – they will always loose.”

to which TC responded:

“Unless Thailand becomes Burma, it would be always difficult to shoot those people. I know it happened in 1992… seems so far away… But now, I believe the situation has changed…. We are far away from the arrogance of all those people shown in the past… ”

and my reply was :

“about “Reds can inflict a lot of damages..” don’t kid yourself! UDD/DAAD/”Reds” can NEVER enjoy such impunity and IMMUNITY as PAD ! Anupong and even police will NOT be oh so shy with anyone else than PAD! you wanna bet?

as soon as UDD try ANY attempt remotely similar to PAD – they will be BRUTALLY suppressed. mark my words. as it has been not so long ago – in 2006/ 2007

“Unless Thailand becomes Burma” – well, it is not so far. if not has already happened.”

then of course Black Songkran Apr 2009 happened (but army cleverly hid all corpses), and now in May 2010 repeat of that, only on larger scale and this time army didn’t bother to hide bodies, just used “terrorists” excuse.

so, looks like what we were talking about that time in Nov 2008 has now materialized as a reality, and sophonrith rightly summed it up :

“Now, thailand is second Burma and leaded by Army government. it is the bad country in asean country in 2010 for governance… ”

funny how predictable things can be, huh ?

It rose against Asian currencies in the past few weeks, Singapore dollar, Taiwanese dollar and all others.
This THB is a real mistery, rising like crazy even during an almost-civil war.
Thai products are crazy expensive compared to other asian competitors due to the grossy overvalued Baht.
Since the Saudis bought all rice fields , the value of the Baht hasn’t been allowed to drop.
But it is true that in the short term, the big surpluses has helped this situation and the international reserves have even grown.
In some terms, it is really amazing how Thailand manage to be competitive with all this sh.. happening.
Airports taken, Bangkok on fire, massacres after massacres, bombs,…. 2 weeks later: hotels full again of tourists and discos and clubs at full work.
Is the sex appeal and the exotic beauty of Thai women to keep this country afloat despite all its trouble ?
I am convinced of this. Really.
