Landed this past Monday, staying at near Ratchadamri BTS.

Extremely quiet, the hawkers and taxis that used to line up along the street near Grand Hyatt/Erawan are gone, the St. Regis hasn't been completed.

Even Sukhumvit area by Marriott hotel was fairly quiet.

Only negative is the Baht hit all time high against the US$

I assume you are talking about when you convert it to your home currency, right? I haven't noticed a dramatic increase in the prices in THb.

if you are getting 30 baht to the US$ now how do you get 30% higher ?

I think it was 33-34 baht a year ago so only 10% or so change
