This needs to be qualified. Its not self harm as Trump and cronies will stand to benefit from back door deals with unscrupulous leaders of the countries worst hit with tariffs (Cambodia, Lao, Vietnam). The real loser is the American consumer. But just wait til the penguins take reciprocal revenge. Then Americans will really know they backed the wrong horse in their election.

They range from computer hard drives, machinery, rubber, pickup vehicles, plastics, optical equipment, seafood and agricultural produce. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/imports/thailand

Do you understand what a tariff is? Its a tax paid by the buyer of a product coming from the exporting country. In this case its US consumers who will be paying this additional tax on Thailand products. Thailand is free to redirect its US exports to other countries that honour free trade. Only the US consumer loses in a trade war!

America being great again imposing 10% tariffs on islands in the Antarctic where only penguins live! Absurd! https://www.wired.com/story/trump-tariffs-antarctic-islands-heard-mcdonald/?utm_brand=wired&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=social&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2ytF0nO7cxkbgKo_rKOc3UPaM2Ldecsmm2qzPAMgPA6ghW0twwAzzDqyg_aem_-maNL86LCZ3NmdDZ8r4L_Q

The only certain result of this is hurting the American consumer, and driving Thai exports to other trading partners. Making Americas Gullible Again!

The day Thailand breaks ground on its first nuclear plant is the day all subcontractors scheme how they can build a thinner concrete wall around it and pocket the change. All sensible citizens should be moving to the next country when that happens!

These are human lit fires and the objective is to expand cornfields and pasture for cattle which farmers will raise and sell to China. Unless enforcement is implemented and big agro companies reigned in there will be no forest left in a few years thus affecting water supplies across the entire north, and in the meantime people are suffering from unhealthy levels of PM 2.5.

The ship sunk in December 2022. Surely the wreck has already been dived on? It would make an excellent deep recreational dive but who else might already have been down there to take a look at equipment lying around on the sea floor? What might be left to salvage now?

“The government was thinking about charging tourists a special fee to help pay for this insurance, but they've decided to wait a while. For now, they will usegovernment money to help tourists in need.” Wow, so people who pay tax in Thailand are to foot the medical bills for random tourists who hurt themselves. Knowing this hospitals are free to charge what they want for the misadventures of a few who should have taken out travel insurance. Amazing Thailand indeed!

If the new regulation ever happens it will be meaningless without a driver education campaign, supported by enforcement and fines that encourage compliance.

8.2 million woken up to scams, cheating and rip offs in Phuket, Chiang Mai and Bangkok have decided instead to take their vacations in Sihanoukville, Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Chinese tour companies already scheming with local governments there how to take advantage of the coming tourist wave. Good riddance, lets have more quality tourists in Thailand!!
