Thailand Denies Airport Extortion Allegations
I would be surprised if they pulled it at the airports, but certainly other ports of entry wouldn't put it past them.

TM30 registration
In a non related question; if I spend an extended time at a hospital in Bangkok, do they do a TM30 on me here? If so, I assume I'll have to do another when I get back home. Thanks

Bottom line: • Thailand imposes comparatively high tariffs on U.S. agri-goods and vehicles (up to 80%), with an overall average near 10%. • The U.S. response—a strong 36% tariff on Thai imports—comes via Trump’s “reciprocal” trade strategy aimed at reshaping deal terms before the August 1 deadline.

UPS Asking For B5000 For An Import License For Apple AirPods Bought On eBay
I actually managed to get the Shipper and UPS on the same conversation; the shipper wanted to save the situation. I ended up getting all import related fees waved and even some of my shipping fees... it wasn't easy, but took constant emails... good luck!

Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
Golf courses are especially guilty of this... Thai residents get a discount, but not Farang residents (retiree/marriage), who, quite possibly contribute a bit more into the local economies... But, wasn't there legislation passed a few years back allowing dual pricing? I can see for tourist visas, but come on!!!

Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
Good luck trying to get the Hospitals to accept that - they've been having a field day raising prices over the past few years. An appt that used to cost 1,200 baht is well over double now. Dumbest law they ever passed was allowing dual pricing to begin with.

British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
How is anything worse than assault and battery? 🤔 I wonder if Amnesty International would be interested in carrying this story. The logic, or should I say the lack of it here, is quite eye-opening.

Anyone bought a mini PC from Lazada?
Everything in the ad should be included. So if there's a photo of the power connector then it's included. You can request to chat with the seller on Lazada just to clarify any questions.

Anyone bought a mini PC from Lazada?
I acquired a Lenovo PC mini, i7 with 8gb memory and 250tb disk (I upgraded these myself twice, now at 32gb/2tb). Around 4 years ago it was 6,500 THB used. I've been very happy with it and will now seek another used model with a built-in Thunderbolt interface, so I can use an external GPU for better processing. The advantage to this sized footprint, is I can pack it in my backpack, if ever needed, as it weighs 1.5kg. I can easily add up to three HDMI monitors, five USB connections.
