So where were they when it was Biden's and Obama's DOJ hiding the evidence?

I think there's a decent size segment of the Thai market that could use the extra heft of a full size work truck, with their towing capacity. (Instead of breaking in 2 when fully loaded running down the motorway, as we occasionally witness...) Not to mention the markets that may open up (for better or worse) in RV trailers. Thailand's indigenous pickup trucks just don't cut it for pulling big trailers like RVs and big boats. Not for any distance anyway. But that's not going to happen at a 300% import tax rate.

They wanted her to testify. Those were her terms. Nothing nefarious about that... Maybe she also got peach cobbler on Tuesdays.

What does that have to do with spending more taxpayer dollars to house a non-violent offender in a more expensive prison? I'd rather see them reserve the expensive accommodations for violent offenders. The ones that are more likely to stab the guards and fellow inmates... She's not a security risk.

You're splitting hairs there. She was moved to a lower security (less expensive) accommodation.

Did she diddle any kiddies? I must have missed that part...

I'd like to see lawsuits filed against anyone who wasn't strapped in and caused injury to someone who was.

Seems like a reasonable decision. Maximum security accommodations are expensive and should be for violent offenders. Regardless of how you feel about the woman, there is no violence in her past.

And the bidding starts at...

Is that the same one that posted favorable job reports just about every month in the leadup to the election, only to quietly adjust them downward every time? That one? Good decision. Should have been done on January 21.

You can get a Tundra for ฿6,790,000 According to your linked ad, that's an import. And that's why it's $200,000 USD. In the US, the Tundra can be had with a V8.

Thailand has the technology and the knowledge. But the money keeps disappearing. If they brought in overseas consultants, even more money would just disappear faster. And still, nothing would get done.

I'd ask if you meant the bearded clam, but they seem to be going by the wayside if recent porn is any indication. What's that all about?

#2 all time best selling vehicle... Your disdain for all things Yank is noted. Reminds me of arguments we had back in the 7th grade about which car was best. Of course, we had no clue, having never actually driven anything. Personally, I've become a fan of Toyotas. But Ford trucks can often go 500K miles.

There are companies that do RHD conversions, mostly for the European (and UK?) markets. They're not cheap, but they aren't even close to x3.

Maybe. But let's face it. Mass cheap tourism is ruining destinations all over the world.

Possibly. Among quite a few other trade barriers, spelled out in the NTE Reports put out by the USTR every year. USTR Releases 2025 National Trade Estimate Report | United States Trade Representative 2025NTE.pdf https://ustr.gov/

He's living proof that you're incorrect. Or maybe he's a BOT.

Every time I've bought Red Bull outside of Thailand, it's bottled (canned?) in country, not imported from Thailand.

Exporting powerhouses... Beer, local cell service and a bank...

But does Toyota make a full size truck in Thailand?

Yeah, in fact I have. Back when the space was wide open, experimentation didn't have the same consequences that it has today.

Trump, Trump, Trump. Hey Gavin, why don't you tell the voters how you plan to solve crime, the mass exodus from California, the poop on the street and your abysmal budget woes? Give them something to vote FOR. But you can't... All you have is Orange Man Bad.

Didn't I see this same story a few years ago? And a few years before that? And a few years...

He's got an alibi. He was too busy causing a Russkie earthquake and tsunami.
