“I would like to thank President Donald Trump for decreasing the rate for Cambodia, from 49 to 36.”

Why not the ultimate: a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that respects the sovereignty of both nations and requires arbitration versus Trump's erratic and illegal unilateral post-trade agreement intended to Make America Great Again through sovereign dominance?

How in the world is a 36% tariff a win?

But there will be a lot more Thais who will lose everything on a whim that gambling will make them rich.

Incorrect.

"Thai punters can go to casinos, with an entry fee of 5,000 baht and proof of at least 50 million baht in bank deposits ($1.47 million), effectively blocking large swathes of the population, where per capita gross domestic product is about $7,300." Thai cabinet approves draft law for casinos, with limits for local gamblers,  March 27, 2025 https://www.reuters.com/

If you residence more than 180 days you will become a tax resident

Just a clarification, the 180 days in a year is in the "aggregate." It doesn't have to be sequential days.

Welcome to Thailand where road safety is a myth.... do as you please and should you get stopped the police will negotiate a fine and let you go on your way.

Welcome to Thailand Where wealth distribution is highly uneven (worsened since the 2014 military coup) . "While about 0.1% of the population owns nearly half of the country's assets, a significant portion of the population lives in poverty. Specifically, it's estimated that the wealthiest 1% control 67% of the nation's wealth."

Can the Thai government halt or cut funding to Buddhist wats and so-called merit making for street-begging monks? It might as fair then to serve the Public to redirect at least some government financial assistance to the homeless and starving people.

the US and others are right to consider Thailand as a currency manipulator

With regard to the US - No.

Thailand has been on the US watchlist for currency manipulation and that's all.

Even when some countries met criteria for the manipulator label by the US, the US was unlikely to retaliate for trade reasons. Vietnam for example.

America needs a People's Party, not another Dictator Party.

Better yet, reformulate Congress into a parliamentary system.

she initially claimed were tobacco-filled bags

31 kilograms!

That would be 31,000 grams. UK only allows 250 grams duty-free for tobacco.

So it was a guarantee her luggage was going to be inspected based solely on her claim of possessing tobacco!

collapse of a two-storey structure

It is highly unusual to frame a two-story building with rebar only versus frame and concrete pour the first floor followed by EACH successive floor framed and poured. I wonder if even the foundation below the first story was finished with its concrete pour before even before framing the first story.

officials continue their thorough safety inspections

This failure goes beyond any safety inspection. Get some engineers or architects to review the building plans as compared to the construction process. The project looks like a rush deal.

as long as they keep banning cars from CH via tariffs

Tariffs do not ban imports.

But irrational tariffs like Trump's 50%-400% tariffs will  discourage imports because the import country cannot sell the inflated priced products due to tariff charge addition and thus will not order imported products.

"Since World War II, according to many economic metrics including job creation, GDP growth, stock market returns, personal income growth, and corporate profits, the United States economy has performed significantly better on average under the administrations of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents."

Many sources.

Well, he did take the country backwards.

Both in terms of democracy and economy.

I have shown Bangkok Bank statements printed, stamped and signed at the branch.

When I was on the 12 monthly foreign deposits method, in addition to the KB summary of the 12 monthly deposits 65k (usually greater), I went to the KB once a month to collect the twelve associated Credit Account Reports (CAR) that will match with each of the twelve foreign transfer deposits coded in your passbook.

I now have a LTR visa so no longer need to prove foreign transfers.
