Bangkok Tailors dump the Dollar for the Euro
The slow decline of the US Dollar as a global currency continues with the tailors of Bangkok now advertising their rates in euros.
Advertisements for tailors can be found on the free tourist maps of Bangkok. I was in Bangkok in 2005 and all of the prices were in USD. Now the advertisements are in euros.
Below are copies of some advertisements from 2005 and 2008.
