Pretty sure this would be a Disney decision, rather than a Thai one... ...regardless, it will never happen.

So, where can I buy locally made counterfeit crap that I buy on Lazada? This is nothing to do with leveling the playing field. It's pure money grab. I hope Trump rips Thailand on tariffs and import duties. Motorcycle parts last week, via Amazon, were free delivery, and 60% import charges...

Thailand supposedly has the larger military and more advanced military equipment...just blitz Cambodia into surrender - this little tit for tat and claiming and reclaiming territory is damaging Thailand and killing it's people. Just end it.

Whatever is going around, I got it. Fever, aches, sore throat, phlegmy, tired, no appetite...not that pleasant and lasted maybe 10 days. You don't want to get it...whatever you want to call it.

This is the break Teflon Thailand needed. They had it easy for so long. TAT could change a slogan every year and people would just turn up. They got complacent. They did not really know what worked. It just worked. Well now there are newer interesting places, cleaner beaches, easier visas, exotic food, more welcoming people and less expensive. Momentum is shifting. And the TAT don't know what is happening and how to fix it. Personally, I'd love to see Thailand slow down a little. Fix infrastructure, clean the place up, get a little more price realistic and weaken the baht... Even teflon wears out eventually, and you look for a different brand of pan...it's that time.

You say that we all did not do that in our early trips to Thailand...or was it just me?

This is like deja vu...all over again...

You speak as if you are in the Top 5...perhaps your 34 position suggests your "comprehensive retirement visa options" are not so comprehensive.

"Auntie Yingluck...best you cancel that trip back..."...

So, each car cost USD$1.38 million? Seems legit.

If by buying my Air Force Ones's and Dickie's pants at Siam Center, this is a "testament to the vibrant creativity and enduring spirit of the Thai people", I concur.

Well, according to this post from a few years ago, he should be dead...so I expect he is still choosing joy...

The US were making no money from small parcels...and they are still making no money... ...but if Trump's stance reduces some of the cost of getting stuff into Thailand, I'm all for it.

Irony. I guess you can't.

The Indians were laborers, bought to Fiji by the British for the plantations (sound familiar)...and just happened to be smarter and more energetic than the Fijians...much as the Indians have done on Lower Sukhumvit...can't help it if they are hungrier and given an open door...
