Who is able to discuss about these rules, not an expert, only between high officials from the concerned governments and about sure dubbele taxation.

This is the point.

Oh charme.

He will be fired, you cannot contradict the PM words.

The governor will receive the red card, cannot critic the PM.

I will cancel my trip, anyway I don't go anymore, it is not a good news for hotels.

ok songkran in the water again, forget it 

I think the Chinese will think twice before a holiday in Thailand, look on Tik Tok the comments, ouiee

Give them a few masks

N95 if they go Chiang mai and other north provinces and give them also free hospitalisation in case of respiratory problems.

It is not a responsible answer for a PM an tactless, he cares more about the tourism, he forget that internet exist and these tourists read and look also all the international news, last one was on BBC and in Europe,  they are so many places in Thailand where the air is not so polluted then promote these places, again he is a seller like they say in the Times, with all my respect for his job but he makes a very big mistake now'

The ostrich's politic is to refuse to accept danger.

I am very happy for him after a very long hospitalisation, no trace of sarcopenia and if can good see he has also some visceral fat who can be toxic for the body, then exercices Mr Thaksin.

In a few months he will tennis again.

I think Macron spoke about this during the meeting with the PM and now this situation for him, he will loose the face so much edges for the FTA and free visa with the Schengen countries, to follow...

I think a mistake, the air pollution is not good and for a sick elderlyman with such respiratory  problems it is not wise.Or may be....

very soon believe me the Russian prostitution will be here.

The wrong choice with now the death of this activist, and they go ask a fair trade agreement with Europe, they can forget it, it is a very inappropriate political decision I think, to follow 

I will send him a few pictures is it so difficult to use drones taking pictures and send to the owner making these fires and let him pay a real sum, not bla bla bla.

Farang is always in fault, no discussion, never a Thai driver.

May be a future PM!!

Once again, this is a USD story, not a Baht story or a BOT interest rate story. THB is valued against USD and USD has strengthened since the start of the year, especially since the start of this month. This is because fewer people believe the Fed. will cut rates as aggressively as hoped, beginning in March. As USD has strengthened, THB has devalued further, Thailand has little influence over that. Cutting the BOT rate is not going to change that THB value, if anything it will worsen matters. 

 

It's a fallacy that cutting interest rates helps exports, exports are only helped if the economy of the buying country is improving or in good shape and the buyer is able to buy. THB is already 35.5 which is far weaker than its 5 or 10 year average, cutting rates will only weaken it further and cause inflation to worsen, especially if the government goes ahead with its giveaway. USD/THB in the range of 32/34 is good value for both sides of the exports equation although expats and tourists want it much lower, I accept that!

 

And anyway, by what measure is the Thai economy faltering? Exports are down slightly because the China market is not performing but monthly exports are still pushing USD 23/24 billion per month which is well above trend and the 5/10 year averages. Tourism numbers are recovering and are heading back to pre-covid numbers? Where is this crisis that demands Central Bank rates be cut? Ah wait, it's the crisis that profits in business are not high enough and central bank rate is still too high, to borrow money to give away and ensure government popularity, hmmm!

not my opinion, we will see in may 2024.

I understand that the Chinese or other tourists read also the news and it is not the good way to attract tourists, they will never learn, and no words from the authorities

.

it is disinflation not deflation and still not negative, China had also and a devaluation of the currency was the point to bolster exports because growth faltering in Thailand and also kan 0.25% rates cut help a little not 10.000 to help the economy.

again, it is a real pandemic.

The feudal era.
