Lost when you find it's untrue, you can't lose what didn't exist.

Use a free tourist visa. You don't need a resident type visa.

Leukemia is a blood cancer that is a genetic mutation of DNA chromosomes transmitted through bone marrow. It is not a sudden cancer but if not detected, ie, through annual checkups. It might seem sudden only because one ignores a number of physical signs that should indicate something is wrong with the body. It's remission can take years with expensive medications or ultimately million USD dollar stem cell treatment. It is why you need healthcare insurance.

Yet not any objection to Thai subjugation of the Islamic Kingdom of Patani and decades suppression of Malay Muslim insurrection. Duplicity is thy name.

That's more GDP growth you'll see versus billions invested in light rail/high speed rail over next 20 years where potential for default is likely.

If you were arrested and incarcerated, healthcare is not an option but an obligation of the authorities. They assume responsibility for the welfare of the arrested.

As Yingluck transferred the official to the Office of the PM, she really didn't sack him from the perspective of removing him from government. He list no benefits, just power. Such transfer was within her authority. What galled her political opposition was that she replaced him with a relative who was qualified for the position. Nepotism! Abuse of Power! Yet, when PM Prayut appointed HIMSELF also as Minister of Defense and supervisor of Department of Special Investigations - all quiet on the Asian front.

Likely irrelevant and frivilous joke "Why is the number '9' like a peacock? It's nothing without its tail." https://humornama.com/jokes/peacock-jokes/

Make that 'Thailand's oldest failed political party'

What do you expect from the UN where it has no authority? Especially in a country that refuses to be a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and lost its UN Human Rights designation in 2014 after the military coup? Thailand sends North Korean refugees back to North Korea and Uyghur refugees back to China. The UNHRC in Thailand can only advise the government on treatment of refugees.

Trump also didn't include the King of Jordan who had UN administrative authority over the West Bank. Trump did try to include Hamas but only to the extent of offering them bribes to concede sovereignty which they refused.

What is beyond TAT's control is the state of the Chinese economy that makes free/extended visas and enhanced visit assistance almost irrelevant. For example among many: "China’s economy is in trouble. Here’s what’s gone wrong" Analysis by Laura He, CNN, August 23, 2023 "Is China's economy a 'ticking time bomb'?" Published BBC.com 30 August 2023 TAT needs to further diversify tourism sources aligned with current healthy economies, albeit few at this time. There are few 'golden geese' currently worldwide that might provide quick Thai economic recovery involving tourism. Other sources are the historical economic GDP bedrock Services and Exports that (to me ) were supplanted by PM Prayut's almost decade focus instead on Chinese tourism.

Obviously hyperbolic. Let me correct: 'potentially affecting both Thai citizens and resident/tourist foreigners.'

Not giving tax advice but from Wikipedia: "All people resident in Switzerland are liable for the taxation of their worldwide income and assets, except on the income and wealth from foreign business or real estate,[10] or where tax treaties limit double taxation." Switzerland has a tax treaty with the US and Thailand.

Just make Trump President for Life to find time to replace ObamaCare.

Since when do online searches translate into personal actions? Might be better to survey actual airfare purchases or the like by foreigners or check with immigration for actual foreign tourist entries since policy went into effect.

He might in advance confer with the Head of State office as the potential violation of national sovereignty has often been cited by the military as an impediment to resolution. He might also look at the "General Framework for the Resumption of Peace Talks" between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic as a guide. The Philippines and its largest Muslim rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), in March 2014 signed a final peace pact, ending about 45 years of conflict that had killed more than 120,000 people in the country's south.

Hopefully TDRI can provide the government with fact-based information to establish critical government policies and parameters for measuring the success/failure of implementing those policies. No more policies based on dreams, wishes or glory.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

It's even more fanciful: "ADMIRAL BEHIND SUBMARINE DEAL DEFENDS NEED FOR ‘DREAM WEAPON’ By Teeranai Charuvastra, News Chief May 4, 2017 www.khaodenglish.com “It’s the dream weapon of every naval officer,” says Adm. Suriya Pornsuriya "Thailand used to have submarines. In 1937, it bought four vessels from the Empire of Japan, then a growing military power. They were decommissioned in 1951 after the navy tried – and failed – to topple the army-led government. For nearly seven decades since, the Royal Thai Navy has been unable to reclaim its glory." It's about GLORY. About Navy vs Army? What about the alleged sovereignty of the Thai People and their needs?

I suggest an existing phrase : "Anything Is Possible," ie., song by Dante Bowe. But so far it seems the mantra has been 'We'll consider everything but not to upset the military.'

With major manufacturing plants in China and zero import duty tax into Thailand, all Tesla saves is shipping. With an EV price war ongoing in China, what advantage is there for Tesla to invest in Thailand - a nation with population about the same as California? Consider also: "Tesla's decision to invest in Malaysia was due to the country's strong electrical and electronics (E&E) ecosystem to support the manufacture of electric vehicles (EVs). Additionally, Malaysia has a higher per capita income (than Indonesia), the recipe for higher EV sales and a better road infrastructure." Jul 31, 2566 BE https://www.financetwitter.com

There is no history to back Xi's claim that Taiwan falls under CCP sovereignty. Just the opposite. '1937 interview with American journalist Edgar Snow, who quoted Mao as saying: “…we will extend them (the Koreans) our enthusiastic help in their struggle for independence. The same thing applies for Taiwan.” In fact Japan might have a better historical case for sovereignty over Taiwan. "1895 Peace Treaty of Shimonoseki ... decided that ... sovereignty over Taiwan would be transferred in perpetuity to Japan." May 3, 2022 https://thediplomat.com

No. Thailand and China have known that since 1989 there has been an EU embargo on equipment/parts sold to China that has military use. That would include Germany's diesel engines for Chinese built subs. The surprise is that somehow Thailand or China thought they could get the EU to lift the ban.

To be fair to all, why not have a UN peace keeping force patrol? UN might even foot the bill. Think of the revenue that such a force would bring to Thailand. Win-Win.
