The Currency Crisis

We entered Thailand on Friday 19th December, heading
for Christmas cheer on the islands off the southern
coast. Not only did it sound like a good spot – many
travelers congregate in this area for Christmas, and it’s
never nice to be alone in the festive season – but the
Thai currency crisis meant my dollars could buy a lot
more festive spirit down the pub. Listen to this for a story
of mismanagement and corruption with a distinctly Asian
flavour.
