agreed, the baht has been strong this last year overall and that may well continue to be a very effective hedge. Soi do like holding some. Just not at 0.25%, so I think having a brokerage account here may be a reasonable way to go. Always looking for an edge... And if taxed here only on income within Thailand, you are allowed 150,000 income tax free. So maybe setting something up that pays you no more 150k annually might be a reasonable move.
