I normally cut my own hair. I have a set of electric clippers that I bought a decade ago in Australia, and every few days I pull them out and cut the fuzzy fringe that used to be my hair.
This morning I went into the toilet to get my shower. My toilet is a small, closet-sized affair where the water from the shower simply sprays onto the floor and exits via a floor-drain in the corner.
I turned on the water and started to reach for the soap, when it occured to me that I should probably trim my hair first. So I turned off the water and went for the clippers.
The Bangkok Post today is reporting that the Thai economy is shrinking:
The Thai economy contracted by as much as 3.5% in the fourth quarter, according to the Fiscal Policy Office.
…
The FPO, the economic policy agency of the Finance Ministry, urged the Bank of Thailand yesterday to “rethink” its foreign-exchange policies to help struggling exporters.
…
Dr Somchai suggested that the central bank consider a “competitive devaluation” for the baht to prop up exports.
But central bank governor Tarisa Watanagase said earlier this week that a weak baht policy could further undermine market confidence in the Thai economy, and that the baht was not uncompetitive relative to the country’s trading peers.
