  1. I would be surprised if they pulled it at the airports, but certainly other ports of entry wouldn't put it past them.
  2. 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
  3. Baht manipulation hits all time high; there, fixed it for ya...
  4. 🇹🇭 Thailand's Average Tariffs on U.S. Imports WTO & MFN Data (2024–2025) 📌 Summary Comparison Thailand → U.S. - U.S. → Thailand High-Risk Sectors50–80% on cars, agro, textiles etc.Up to 36% for Thai goods after negotiations fail 🔍 Why Now? 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.
  5. mine does ALWAYS - and she's smart and educated! 🤔
  6. Moronic T-D-S statement of the day! ❤️👊🇺🇲
  7. Manipulation getting too difficult to keep up? Hopefully BoT changes will resolve this once and for all!!
  8. Nice propaganda piece... looks like using media to drive their agenda 🙄
  9. Oy! I just spit my coffee out reading this 😆 in my 10 years of driving here, foreigners are not the hazardous drivers here!!
  10. 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!
  11. 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!!!
  12. Ahhh... it was just a matter of time... Yeah, I'm gonna have to callout BS on your T-D-S derived statement... economic indicators suggest quite a different perspective.
  13. Yuh, and how much does Thailand tax US imports right now? It's currently been at 72% average; the US currently charges 10% from Thailand... for all you Trump haters.
  14. Can't we simply carry 2 passports and refer to the stamp for retirement or marriage Visa stamp, in the old passport?
  15. Let's see, baht manipulation, unfair treatment of refugees (Ulgyers), unbalanced trade tariffs... that's just for starters..
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. This is truly sad. Blessings to the families affected 😔🙏🕉
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
