What the world costs, in baht — reads it: (0.60 × energy index + 0.40 × food index) × (USDTHB ÷ 35.3), base 2016 = 100
Cost-of-living pressure at home — reads it: composite of z-scores, weights food 35 / transport fuel 25 / electricity 25 / borrowing 15, every price converted to THB first, scored −100 (pressure) … +100 (relief)
