Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
Srikcir replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Recently at my local 7/11 I filled a wheeled grocery cart of foods, milks and sodas, bill about 1,000 baht. The cashier took a photo of the cart, apparently overcome by the large purchase. To me a bargain purchase. -

No peace plans yet. It's been decades. Beyond PM Yingluck's peace talks does the Thai government care? "After deadly attacks, activists criticize Thai govt for stalled southern peace talks," Mar. 10, 2025 https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/thai/deep-south-violence-ramadan-peace-03102025142055.html “Now new violence affecting people has begun. Part of this may be due to operational shortcomings, but the government cannot deny responsibility for not showing clear intentions regarding the peace dialogue process, Since Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s government took office last August [2024], there have been no signs of Malaysia-brokered peace talks restarting." -

Thailand Deports Uyghurs Despite International Asylum Offers
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Then why did Thailand want to become a member of the UN Human Rights Commission whose mission is to ensure that all human rights are respected and upheld, focusing on both civil and political rights, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights? What the UNHRC learned is that Thailand's membership goal was not authentic. That Thailand's position on human rights is compromised by Thailand's political security with China. -
Thai Defence Minister Calls for Review of Deep South Peace Talks
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Credibility lies with the Thai government. Questioning whether all insurgent groups are being on board with peace talks is a diversion. "After deadly attacks, activists criticize Thai govt for stalled southern peace talks," March 10, 2025 https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/thai/deep-south-violence-ramadan-peace-03102025142055.html NGOs and opposition politicians blamed a spike in violence in Thailand’s Deep South on unclear governmental peace policies and stalled negotiations with rebels the government cannot deny responsibility for not showing clear intentions regarding the peace dialogue process -

You don't have to be an American citizen to have rights in the US. If they reside legally in the US they have Constitutional Rights to Due Process of Law as well as ALL the Constitutional Amendments. "We the People" is not limited by creed, race, nationality, gender, etc.

Thailand's New Bill Speeds Justice for Harassment Victims
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Seeing is not believing. Remember the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act in 2022 which came into force on 22 February 2023, criminalized torture, ill-treatment, and enforced disappearance, and the ratification of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (ICPPED) in 2024? "Thailand: Two years into the adoption of the Anti-Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act, justice for victims and survivors remains unattainable" (my bold emphasis) Feb. 21, 2025 https://www.icj.org/thailand-two-years-into-the-adoption-of-the-anti-torture-and-enforced-disappearance-act-justice-for-victims-and-survivors-remains-unattainable/ As Thailand marks the second anniversary of the adoption of the landmark Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act (the Act) on 22 February 2025, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) calls on the Thai authorities to take immediate measures to ensure its effective enforcement. Add the recent secret deportation by Thailand of dozens of Uyghurs to China and one finds a pattern in Thailand that human dignity is MIA. -
Thailand Faces Trade Challenges Amid Trump's Tariff Strategy

Under the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA), China can export electric vehicles (EVs) to Thailand duty-free -
Sorry about half Thailand at about 40 million. But that still presents a challenge to Thailand to even reach trade parity with California alone much less with the whole of the US. Note the following: "Why the US Dollar is Crashing" that demonstrates the increasing volatility of the USD in the international currency market compared to the Thai baht.

This is not possible so long as the value of Thai exports and services to the US exceeds the value of US exports and services to Thailand. There will never be trade parity between the US and Thailand because of the physical and GPD per Capita disparity between the two nations. Fact: the size of Thailand is about the same as Texas. Thailand's population is about the same as California. For trade parity America's cumulative 50 States will always need more imports and services than Thailand. If California were a country it have have the fifth largest economy in the world. There are no economic concessions that Thailand can make to the US to reach trade parity value (albeit too late that Thailand is buying Swedish jet fighters instead of US jet fighters thst could have soften the trade imbalance with the US). Thailand is not a member or partner in BRIC that Trump wants to tariff. Serendipity luck. In all likelihood within the next 2-3 months the USD will devalue in the international market as Trump's import tariffs, factory closures and higher unemployment impact the economy into a recession-like market while the baht remains fairly stable.

People die from sunstone (aka heatstroke). So live in darkness. People die from ants and peanuts. So live in isolation. With 8+ billion people in the world in 2024, there can never be a zero statistical chance of dying from something.
