Maybe not in 2010, but definitely not as long ago as 1990. Bht 1,000 was customary less than 10 years ago.

I said the baht's value "internationally," which means "against other currencies." Which means that imported goods in Thailand aren't getting much more expensive, because the baht isn't shrinking in international value. The cost of imported goods is part of the Thai cost of living.
