Do Trump and his supporters not understand tariffs? All that has happened is the government collected tariffs from American importers, which are then passed on to consumers. Some of that was returned to consumers through tax cuts, most of which will benefit the highest earners.

Please, Thailand, don't pass any more laws if there's no will to uphold them, which there rarely is.

Is this guy for real?

I wonder whose kid fresh out of Uni was awarded this IT project.

" thinking she was on a trip to assist someone after receiving a passport and ticket" Travelling on a false passport? Something strange here or bad reporting.

Its a risk flying back in to Thailand if youve had too many entries. You can get Fast track through an agent if you fly in to Svarnabhumi but now costs 7000 baht. Cambodia borders closed so no visa runs.

So far, we haven’t found any clear, recent feedback about this exact service, so we are hoping to hear from real people who used it at BKK airport: Did it work exactly as described? Were you asked anything by immigration or needed to show cash, bank statements, or an exit ticket? Did you have any problems traveling domestically or internationally afterwards? We are trying to be very careful because we can’t afford to be bounced again. Any genuine feedback, tips, or warnings would mean a lot to us — thank you so much for helping us decide what to do next! 🙏 My Philippine GF came back on this service after a 1 year ED visa. Got tourist visa no problem and then applied again for further 1 year ED visa.

Unless you have skills that a company requires here, there's no chance to get employment with a work permit. Only way is constant border runs or maybe an Education Visa, which will cost you around 40,000 baht a year.

It is so simple to solve if they want to. As I've seen elsewhere, a notice on the dashboard saying "No Meter No Pay" and enforce it.

" nine Vietnamese, four Tanzanians, one Kenyan, and one Thai national" That says it all.

Dual Pricing has got worse in recent years. I used to get into most places showing my Pink Thai ID card. Now not so easy. National Parks are the worst, most wont accept a driving Licence or ID card. It's considered a scam if Taxis or other private enterprises charge more to foreigners but where did they learn it from. Cant see it changing anytime soon.

While it's fair to acknowledge efforts like cutting government waste and tightening border security, albeit done in breach of the Constitution, there’s a far bigger issue that can’t be ignored. The U.S. dollar is steadily losing both its value and global dominance, with more countries actively moving away from using it. Meanwhile, trillions have been wiped from the American stock market, devastating pensions and retirement savings. The wannabe U.S. dictator seems to believe the country is somehow "making money" from tariffs on imports. Has no one given him a basic lesson in economics? From the outside, it's obvious that saving a few billion through audits is insignificant compared to the scale of economic damage unfolding. Without serious action on inflation, currency devaluation, and financial instability, political victories risk being nothing more than cosmetic fixes on a system that's starting to crack badly.

As a European, what the past month has shown me is that the American Constitution needs some serious amendments, since it was never envisaged in the 18th century that an aspiring dictator could be elected president.

If your resident and can get a certificate of residence from Immigration you should have no trouble opening a bank account.

It was until Trumps presidency

Ive just switched to Yolla. Its slightly more expensive than skype but works well calling European landlines.

Sounds simplistic but whose going to invest in producing low tech products in the US at 5 times the cost that are produced in China, Asia and Africa.

The U.S. trade tariffs have triggered significant stock market volatility, posing risks for both pension funds and consumer prices. These effects will be felt by retirees, investors, and everyday consumers. Most US pension funds rely heavily on stock market investments. The S&P 500 dropped over 8% since February 2025 and continues to drop, pension portfolios have likely suffered considerable declines. If market instability continues, underfunded pensions could struggle, forcing adjustments such as increased contributions from employees, reduced cost-of-living adjustments, or delayed retirement eligibility. I wonder if the average Trump supporter realizes whats happening to his pension. I think this Trump/Oligarch strategy is simplistic, what do we all do when hit with a price hike, look elsewhere and apart from tech there’s not too much that cant be sourced outside the US.

Here's a link to the go fund me page where his mother is making an appeal to recover his losses. A different story as to what is reported here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/lewis-green-ordeal-in-thailand

Zelensky is always seen in military attire to show solidarity with his troops, many of whom are crawling through cold, muddy trenches, risking their lives. He is respected by his military, far more than if he were prancing around dressed like some dandy as we see in the US. All respect to him. His February approval rating in Ukraine was 63%, far more than Trumps by the American people who must be disgusted and embarrassed after seeing this debacle with Putin's puppet in the white house.

Z Zelensky came to negotiate a deal. However, the offer he received was essentially, "Give us your resources for all eternity, and we'll discuss security later." It's good that he walked away from these two morons. He entered negotiations to stop the war with a degenerate president, who didn’t even know how or when the war started and has been parroting Kremlin propaganda since he came to office. Zelensky's only mistake was attending the meeting without an interpreter, making himself vulnerable and unable to respond effectively. These two must be an embarrassment to the American people.

I don't think she would be throwing Ukraine under the bus and making ridiculous claims.
