Thai Stocks Retreat From 13-Year High, Drop Most in Asia, as Baht Weakens - Bloomberg

Thailand’s benchmark stock index dropped the most in Asia, retreating from the highest in more than 13 years, as the nation’s currency declined, triggering concern foreign investors’ gains will be trimmed.

The SET Index tumbled 15.65, or 1.7 percent, to 921.39 at the 4:30 p.m. close, the biggest drop since May 25 and the worst performer in Asia. The gauge yesterday reached its highest level since Nov. 28, 1996.

“The baht weakened today, prompting overseas investors to be more cautious in buying more Thai stocks,” said Sukit Udomsirikul, an investment strategist at SCB Securities Co. “Putting money into the Thai market is a way to bet on the baht’s strength. Thai equities have also reached a level that makes it tempting for investors to take profits now.”

The baht halted a four-day rally on concern the central bank will intervene to check strength in a currency whose gains have outpaced that of its regional peers. The baht has advanced 3.6 percent in the past month, the best performance among Asia’s most-traded currencies.

The baht fell 0.1 percent to 30.79 per dollar as of 4:59 p.m. in Bangkok, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It earlier touched 30.72, matching yesterday’s 13-year high.

Overseas funds, which were net sellers of Thai shares before the Bank of Thailand said on July 23 the economy would grow at its fastest clip in 15 years, have poured about $1 billion into the nation since then. Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij said yesterday the central bank is doing an “appropriate job of taking care” of the baht.

Siam Cement, Thai Air

Siam Cement Pcl slid 4.3 percent today after the company’s president said the baht’s recent strength may hurt earnings. Thai Airways International Pcl dropped 3.3 percent on expectation the carrier will sell new shares at a discount to the market price.

Siam Cement, the nation’s third-biggest publicly traded company, fell 4.3 percent to 312 baht, the most since May 24. Net income in the third quarter may be reduced by the strength of baht, President Kan Trakulhoon said yesterday.

Thai Airways, the country’s largest carrier, dropped 3.3 percent to 36.25 baht, a one-month low. The carrier, seeking about 15 billion baht in a rights offer, plans to sell shares at 32 baht to 34 baht apiece, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Overseas investors sold 1.81 billion baht more of Thai stocks than they bought today, according to data from the Stock Exchange of Thailand’s website.

Air fares rise as Asian travel rebounds from global recession | Myanmar Times

SINGAPORE – Asia-Pacific airlines are raising ticket prices as travellers return in droves after holding back on their travel plans last year because of the global recession.

A strong economic rebound, led by China, has resulted in carriers filling more seats during the summer holidays and demand should remain robust despite slower expansion in the second half of this year, industry analysts said.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) said it will raise fares on certain routes from October 1, while Korean Air bumped up ticket prices for international passengers by up to 10 percent in August, its second increase since June.

“Air fares are generally a function of market demand and supply and they are adjusted depending on market conditions,” an SIA spokesman told AFP.

“Actual changes in fares also vary from route to route, and a range of fares is offered in different booking classes.”
While the carrier did not give details of the increases, the local Straits Times newspaper said SIA raised fares by as much as US$148 for an economy seat and $742 for a premium ticket.

More than one million travellers visited Singapore in July, crossing the seven-figure mark for the first time ever in a single month, thanks in part to the lure of two new casino resorts in the city-state.

Australian flag-carrier Qantas increased its international and domestic fares on July 28 by 3pc.

“Pricing is reviewed continuously across all routes, taking into account demand and capacity, competitor activity and business performance,” Qantas said in announcing the price hike.

Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific and its subsidiary Dragonair posted July passenger traffic figures that were 19.5pc higher than in 2009 with the pair carrying 2.48 million passengers combined.

But a Cathay spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the carriers had jacked up prices.

“We won’t comment on fares – they differ by market. But [the price] is based on supply and demand,” she told AFP in Hong Kong.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said in its latest report that it expected global passenger traffic to expand by 7.1pc this year despite a projected easing of the economic rebound in the second half.

While average airline fares are rising, they are still below levels reached before the US-triggered global economic meltdown that struck in the third quarter of 2008, the global airline trade body said.

The global recession lasted well into 2009 and IATA estimates that the world’s civil aviation industry lost $9.4 billion that year.

“Average one-way economy fares are 15pc higher compared to the 2009 low, but still 5pc below the early 2008 peaks,” IATA spokesman Albert Tjoeng told AFP.

Premium airline fares are 10pc above 2009 lows but still 20pc below the pre-recession peaks, he added.

Regional airlines carried a record 17.2 million international passengers in July, up 20.4pc from the same month last year, according to the latest data from the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA).

In the first seven months of the year, the carriers carried 15.6pc more passengers over the same period last year, it said.
This reflected “growing consumer confidence across the Asia-Pacific region”, said AAPA director-general Andrew Herdman.

“Commercial activity has also picked up strongly, leading to a rebound in premium passenger traffic on both regional and long-haul routes,” he said in a recent press statement.

IATA chief Giovanni Bisignani has cautioned however that the airline industry’s recovery will be affected by the forecast slowdown in global economic growth in the second half of 2010.

AAPA’s Herdman said airlines were still cautious about expanding seat capacity and adding routes.
“Asian airlines are still focused on careful management of capacity, tight cost controls and ongoing efforts to achieve further productivity improvements as the industry strives to restore profitability after two years of heavy losses,” he said.

Robert Walters market update: recruitment trends in Thailand

General recruitment trends in Thailand
The recession and political unrest in April earlier this year have affected the recruitment market and caused investments in Thailand to be hampered to some degree. Recruitment activity has rebounded sharply in 2010 with far more jobs available in the market than qualified candidates.

To meet the increase in job demand, the country continues to struggle to produce high calibre graduates from local universities. Meanwhile, to cope with this talent shortage, companies have started to seek out foreign candidates, with the majority of these international managerial talent coming from Europe (the UK and Germany being the two largest communities).
War for talent in the Thai marketing sector?
During the last few years, candidates were more cautious about job-hopping as the market was still pretty volatile. This behaviour has since changed and candidates are now exhibiting more confidence in the current job market, although job-hopping is endemic to the Thailand recruitment market due to the shortage of good candidates.

A number of unemployed candidates and/or those affected by the recent financial crisis are taking this opportunity to undergo training courses abroad in order to be in a better position to take advantage of the improving job situation in Thailand.

The sales and marketing industry has, by far, the highest turnover rate as compared to other sectors. Competent sales and marketing candidates are few and far between, and this has led to a war for such talent between companies, resulting in more candidates switching jobs in the face of better compensation packages.
The importance of employee engagement in 2010
Employee engagement is becoming an increasingly important focus as companies fight to retain their top talent in the current buoyant job market, where job opportunities are more abundant than candidates.

Various ways of mitigating and resolving retention issues could include strategies such as providing employees with a clear perspective of their roles and setting achievable targets/objectives. Some other ways companies can enhance employee engagement and organisational performance on an everyday basis include:
actively seeking employee suggestions and opinions and acting on these suggestions
considering and involving employees in decisions so they can suggest better ways to accomplish objectives
delegating work responsibilities and empowering employees to act with autonomy
These methods could also lead to better effectiveness in employees’ work.
The role of HR in employee engagement
An increased HR focus on career development, training and succession planning could further help drive employee engagement. Additionally, HR could also provide better communications and workforce integration, with more focus on being a more strategic partner and consultant to the business and less focus on administrative functions.
It's also important for employees to be given the right resources, tools and equipment to work effectively. This will help create a comfortable and agreeable working environment whereby the company can express its values, as well as establish a culture of trust and ethics.
In the employee lifecycle, it's crucial for the HR team to closely follow employees through the different stages of his/her work commitment in the company: from workforce planning to recruitment, hiring, training, retention, compensation, performance management, promotion, leadership development and succession planning. Providing clarity on various phases in the work cycles will enable employees to feel secure and involved, thus ultimately increasing employee engagement.
Future of recruitment in Thailand
The strongest hiring growth in Thailand continues to seen in the finance as well as sales and marketing industries. Due to a slowdown in recruitment growth as a result of the political unrest, the forecast for the growth rate for the remaining of the year is expected to be around 3-4%.
Specific roles that are currently in demand would include niche areas such as banking or operational risk, as compliance regulations from the Bank of Thailand goes into effect later this year.

A Showcase of Thailand?s Rich History and Culture: the Ancient City | Inside Thailand

Presenting the chance to learn about Thai architecture and history, this innovative outdoor museum requires a vehicle to traverse its entire 280 acre area. Located inside are replicas of numerous historical and religious buildings that should not be missed when traveling to Bangkok.

This enormous park provides the perfect opportunity to spend an interesting day when in Thailand. It is due to its impressive size that the park has been billed as being the largest outdoor park in the world.

With an innovative design in its construction, the entire outdoor area is designed to duplicate the actual layout of Thailand and all the structures that are located inside mimic their actually relative position in Thailand.

The replicas that are housed here are all extremely accurate being virtually identical to the structures that they impersonate. This was made possible with the help of the National Museum. However even more special about the museum are the structures that are replicated here that no longer exist in Thailand itself such as the Royal Hall of Ayutthaya that was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767.

In addition to grand and Royal structures the common man and normal houses are not skipped over at Ancient City. Visitors can see various styles of Thai houses that were used during different time periods providing a unique insight in to the life of Thai people through the ages.

Several small food shops are scattered throughout the park premises that offer a simple array of food, but for those who desire a full dining experience there is a restaurant that is housed in a recreation of Thai floating village.

There is also a small village recreation that provides various souvenir style items for purchase that are created by local craftsmen.

With its extremely spacious environment it is hard to find a day when the city is crowded or packed but the downside of this is that traversing the entire area is difficult without some mode of transport. Fortunately the admission fee also includes a free bicycle rental but visitors can also rent a car or other automobile to traverse this grand park.

Staying in a Bangkok hotel that is located close to this destination such as Grand Millennium Sukhumvit Bangkok provides guests with a range of amenities and facilities in addition to a convenient location that provides easy access to this must see destination.
