ASIAN CURRENCY WATCH Vietnam's Dong Gone Wild

Category: Tourism, Posted:24 Feb 2010 | 06:00 am

Here in Thailand the baht has continued to appreciate, while many of the global markets could continue to capitulate over concerns on a possible economic crisis for the Euro back of Greece's loan defaults.
