I know which article I believe: Thai economy thrown into disarray by Trump’s tariffs. Exports and Tourism may both be far lower in 2025 Trump’s tariffs create economic turmoil for Thailand, with exports and tourism set to drop sharply in 2025.

This isn't correct from the Thai Enquirer. Metropolitan police and Crime Suppression Division officers have arrested a female broker in the case of Dr. Boon Vanasin and 16 others for jointly defrauding the public, fraudulently borrowing money from the public, and other related offenses. The total damage is estimated at approximately 14,264 million baht (approximately $400 million USD). Ms. Thitiporn is one of three suspects who fled Thailand. Guangzhou police in China arrested her on March 30 and extradited her back to Thailand late on April 7 https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1909405799874805899

#ThaiEnquirer News Summary – April 4, 2025 · ‘Reciprocal Tariff’ is @ 37% not 36% Donald Trump’s graphic that showed 36% tariff for Thailand was WRONG, the paper his administration signed off said 37%. Well, Thailand is not alone, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, uninhabited volcanic islands near Antarctica, covered in glaciers and home to penguins was also slapped with 10% tariff. So, if the penguins are not spared then we are not in that bad shape. GDP set to dip after Tariff kicks in https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1907980375399477644

The steel used in the construction of the collapsed State Audit Office building in Chatuchak came from Sin Ker Yuan, a company which was charged in January for producing substandard steel. Previous investigation by the Ministry of Industry revealed that the rebar produced by the company, located in Ban Khai District, Rayong, did not meet required standards, particularly affecting its strength. The ministry seized 2,441 tons of non-compliant steel, valued at approximately 49.2 million baht, and announced plans to take legal action against the company in January https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906662052925714514

Reports continued to emerge about people leaving buildings, including at least two hospitals, after feeling a tremor this morning. No evacuation orders were given at Taksin Hospital or Police General Hospital, but some medical staff and patients left anyway. They were later told to go back inside. The Thai Meteorological Department said there was no earthquake in Thailand, and aftershocks from Myanmar have not affected Thailand. The PM's Press Office said the cracks reported at Chaeng Watthana Government Complex were already there before. They also stated that each organization decides whether to evacuate, but any such decision should be clearly communicated and based on verified information from official sources. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906595684142502028 The PM has treated herself to a new magic wand: Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra reassured investors about the inspections of buildings and recovery efforts following Friday's earthquake. "I will work tirelessly to resolve the situation and restore normalcy," she added at a Board of Investment seminar. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906590422446821442

Not sure if this has been posted. One moment please.

Does it really matter. She the PM survives the vote.

Although she wasn't the PM at the time Thaksin was admitted to his luxury hospital suite.
