Thailand's AI Robocop 

That's great  a new Cop on the beat, 🙏

Must be a Male Robocop  this must be something special they stated that ;

Quote,   

The balls are capable of detecting disturbances or abnormalities around them, and the facial recognition software is able to easily detect criminals known to the police.

It can then either call other robots or human law enforcement as a backup, or will even solve the issue itself.

No, not all Arabs are Muslims, nor do all Arabs avoid eating pork. While a majority of Arabs are Muslim, there are significant Christian and Jewish populations in the Arab world, and some Muslims do not strictly adhere to all dietary restrictions, according to a 2016 Pew Research Center report. Pork consumption is forbidden in Islam, but this prohibition is not universally followed within the Muslim community, and some Arab Christians do not follow Jewish or Islamic dietary laws.

I wonder what will happen if the visit to Thailand is an emergency and within the three days?

Visitors can file their TDAC up to three days before their arrival in Thailand. They will be required to fill in their passport or travel document details, address of accommodation in Thailand and certain health information.

Applications can be edited before submission and group submissions are also available.

My Idea of superfood is  it   must  include Meat.   🙏

Both "superfoods" and meat offer distinct nutritional benefits, with superfoods emphasizing antioxidants and micronutrients, while meat provides essential protein, B vitamins, and iron, making both valuable components of a balanced diet.

Dear PM

Poetic justice for a country that has imposed tariffs on imports - for ever.

Please remind us what the tariff is on bringing a car into Thailand.

People also ask

How much does it cost to import a car into Thailand?

To import your car, it must, in fact, be stamped "classic car" (old car and/or collection). High customs duties (between 187% and 315% of the car's value) will also need to be added to this.

You cannot import used cars to Thailand unless you are an expat coming in on a work permit and you've owned the vehicle for at least 2 years. Taxes will be between 200-300% of the value depending on the engine capacity and the horsepower.Jul 29, 2564 

BEWhat is the import duty on cars in Thailand?

You will have to achieve a sizable paperwork, no matter of the type of vehicle and purpose of this import. Depending on the time you need your vehicle to stay in the territory of Thailand, you can be dutiable to pay zero to 200% of the value of your vehicle.

What is the cost to import a car from USA?

For cars, those exceeding a CIF value of US Dollars 40,000 incur a 100% customs tax, while those below US Dollars 40,000 face a 60% import duty. Used vehicles attract a 125% tax. On the other hand, bikes may require payment of approximately 116% of the CIF value as import duty.

its been shown the average Thai import tariff on US goods is less than 10%, the new rates are nothing to do with recprocal tariffs, he has calculated the trade gap as a % and levied half of that as a new tariff on top of existing tariffs - he hasn't called it that though of course but thats what the analysis of the figures show. So now Thai should actually increase tariff rates to make the tariffs reciprocal

That seems a bit strange  if I import a car  it will cost about 200% of the cars value so a 30K car cost 90 K. 🙏 

That's more than 10%  , Someone is getting a lot of Money.😇

Do you not understand that it matters not whether Thailand or any of the countries on the list previously or currently imposed any tariff at all on the US. Even countries that do not export to the US at all, even jurisdictions that don't even have a human population like Macquarie and Heard Islands (populated entirely by penguins), were also targeted with a tariff. The tariff are completely random and have nothing to do with reciprocity or value of existing trade to the US. The orange maniac and his financial gurus have made it all up!

If you believe that than there's something wrong with you.

Do you understand what a tariff is?  Its a tax paid by the buyer of a product coming from the exporting country.  In this case its US consumers who will be paying this additional tax on Thailand products. Thailand is free to redirect its US exports to other countries that honour free trade. Only the US consumer loses in a trade war! 

Do you understand that  IF the Thai Government didn't have the Ridiculous high Tariffs on  import goods then Maybe DT would've put a  Lower Tariff on so Thailand would've /could import more goods into the US Now there will be Less Imports into the US from Thailand .

So You're Wrong.   As for Redirecting Via other countries They've been slammed with higher tariffs so that Won't help if they export the Thai goods to the US.
