Same way Trump negotiated with the terrorist group Taliban. Give them unilateral Afghanistan's sovereignty without participation of the elected government in exchange for only the Taliban's promise to fight terrorism and committed to full US withdrawal that conveniently fell after the next US POTUS election. And Trump showed good faith by releasing 5,000 captured Taliban terrorists.

At least he'll escape the Thai income tax

If these facilities were financed by Thailand taxpayers, it is the Thai People's facilities managed by the RTM.

Will Thailand's purchase of Chinese submarines with German engines be offered for discussion?

Apparently not from the same pasture that Prayut found after PM.

It would just be a matter of how many slaves Trump can have.

Or get takeout at Hesburger, Barot's, KFC, Taco Bell, McDonald's, etc.

"we" as in the Thai military?

huh? In 1924 the Supreme Court ruled in a case brought by a U.S. citizen living in Mexico that taxing non-resident citizens on their global income was indeed constitutional. https://www.taxesforexpats.com In 1924 Calvin Coolidge won the 35th presidential election.

With regard to US and associated worldwide income, a US taxpayer must pay income tax as earned or received on income during the year by either withholding or making estimated tax payments (ie., monthly/quarterly). Otherwise, there is a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. See Form 2210, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc306 So it might not be surprising that many of US funds transferred to Thailand by American resident expats from the US might have already been taxed beyond such common income sources as government pensions and social security.

The National Institute of Development Administration was formerly a "government agency" that has evolved to become affiliation of the Ministry of Higher Education. https://nida.ac.th What some might consider still a "government agency." it seems to rely on very small survey samples, ie., typically less than 2,000 polled and doesn't detail how such sample criteria was decided. That said, relevant to the subject recent poll NIDA seems perplexing considering its previous poll taken in August 2023 on a survey on "Pheu Thai Party's troubles" from 1,310 sample units. People aged 18 years and over, distributed "everywhere," including level of education, occupation and income. Again no specifics in the resulting sample to which can establish a degree of error. In fact from my reading many of NIDA surveys over a 10 year period, no degree of error is ever mentioned. In its findings (rounded): https://en.ryt9.com/s/iq02/3446470 40% never voted for PTP, Thai Rak Thai Party, or People's Power Party 39% indicated from the PTP Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra as a suitable person to be PM, followed by 36% for Mr. Srettha, 8% for Mr. Chakasem Nitisiri with 16% didn't know/didn't answer/not interested.

In a kingdom as good as law.

According to BOI at Chumchuri square18th Floor 254 Phaya Thai Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 (Sam Yan MRT Station) that obtained a Royal Proclamation to tax exempt three of the four options (one being wealthy pensioner) qualifying for the LTR visa.

It does but not directly at the pump. US spends $20.5 billion annually of which 80% goes to oil and gas in the form of tax deductions and exemptions. Direct subsidies go to fossil fuel exploration, extraction and development. Indirectly, the US spends $81 billion annually through its military to protect oil supplies worldwide.

Inflation rate is not a component of Gross Domestic Product by definition. GDP is the sum of all money spent by consumers, businesses and the government in a given period. The rate of GDP growth or decline can be affected by rate of inflation/deflation but the rate itself is not a component of GDP. Regardless, I've not seen by either the MFP nor the government any analysis publically put forth by a qualified and experienced economist who would be seen as non-political. That's not to say either doesn't have access to such professionals, but not citing such professional sources is suspect more to wishful thinking than to academic accuracy. For 2024 the World Bank is projecting 3.2% providing there is a recovery in tourism (in whatever form?), increase in export of goods & services value (currently weak) and sustained private consumption (currently weak). Frankly, tourism is easier to affect than other components of GDP but it's also the least contributing value (aka "low hanging fruit"). And as we've seen foreign tourism most affected by foreign events outside of Thailand's influence or control.

Maybe the Thai Navy might be interested in this Thai-created submarine technology.

This makes the E-Wallet scheme look simple.

No and Germany's engine export limitations were already known PRIOR to Thailand's purchase. But for some reason Thailand expected Germany to breach the export ban and allow export of the engines. Thailand does not have the technical ability to manufacture its own submarines.

There are many more serious political issues facing the country that directly affect millions of Thais. Constitutional crisis, unelected Senate, a minority-elected government, continued government subservience to the military, economic mis-steps, income inequality, etc. Makes me wonder about the legitimacy of these "activists" as to whom they really represent.

ICE can't recharge its fuel, ICE requires more energy for its transmission system, more engine replacement parts, alternator, etc.

It's a concept EV.

Have you been checked for dyslexia and ADHD ?

For some e-marketing platforms it is SOP for carrier to call contact no. to confirm someone present for receipt, especially for COD or where a controlled community requires a stamped receipt. Which leaves me to wonder where is this tourist staying and how are deliveries handled.
