Think of the consequences of that, because if a 20y/o wants sex, the law would prohibit them to buy condoms. That in itself would lead to more insecure sex and a higher rate of infections.

Thai pig farmers would go out of business if tariffs on U.S. arg. imports were removed. Reality is, Thailand has had a lost decade if not more, with an outdated education system and almost no new investments. Now, they’re trying to boost the economy by handing out cash, but this continues to fail creating lasting growth. Coupled with government instability, this is not a friendly environment to grow a business. This country should AT LEAST be growing 4-6% yearly, now they're lucky if they get 2%. Their economy is deflating, and BoT is unable to lower rates because their population have one of the highest debt levels in SE Asia. Maybe things turn around, and I hope it does!

Here are the tariff rates Thailand imposes on just goods from the European Union, according to ChatGPT. 36% is a low number compared to what Thailand imposes on other countries. Thailand has until August 1st to negotiate, so the current numbers aren't final. This could mean Thai companies face lower profits, or they might raise prices for U.S. consumers. Vietnam is likely pleased to see higher rates in neighboring countries, but this seems like a deliberate strategy. The U.S. prefers manufacturing in Vietnam or the Philippines due to their closer location. Remember, Thailand still struggles with poor infrastructure, a lack of skilled workers, and an unstable government, making it a tough place for businesses. As a result, more electronics production might shift to Vietnam. I believe this could split ASEAN, and push countries in the region toward protectionism.

Could be, but remember: HIV spreads typically among gay people, that's how it initially started. Thailand has a huge gay population, and their youths have been sucked in to that culture, so I'm not surprised we're seeing an epidemic on the rise nowadays. I don't believe women are the infected group.. Would be nice to see some infographics for more info.

The same could be said for Thailand imposing massive tariffs on European car manufacturers. I've always wanted to buy a BMW or Mercedes, but to pay 50% more for a car is plain ass stupid. So we are stuck with boring Toyotas, Hondas and to some extent Ford (which can't deliver parts on time). Malaysia has zero tariffs on imported EVs. I mean sometimes it's unfair, and I get it, but Thailand has decided to fund its government through imports and you're getting punished big time for buying anything outside Thailand, unless it comes from China for some strange reason. ..but there're talks now between Thailand and the European union on changes to tariffs so this can obviously change.

Thai's about to learn how unfair dual pricing really is🤣

How is this not making things safer? Visa-free rules are all about security to start with. I don’t buy that the leisure industry would undo a change from less than a year ago (July 2024)—they loved the extra tourists from the 60-day visa deal. Now you think they’ve flipped? You’re just swallowing what the media says. I hope they rethink this decision, as I believe the 60-day visa exemption supports Thailand’s economy more than it harms it. According to Pattaya Mail: "Many of the exposed abuses have involved Chinese passport holders." Why not focus on tackling the source of the issue instead one would think…

This isn’t about stopping illegal business or what the media says. It’s about Thailand boosting security after deporting over 40 Uyghurs, which upset the West. Thailand’s worried about retaliation, and stuff’s already happening in the south. I wouldn’t be surprised if we also see a temporary rollback of the DTV or stricter requirements. The move to a 60-day visa-exempt period was welcomed by every major economic sector when it was introduced and took effect. You can look back at articles from that time to see the reaction. Again, this move is all about increasing national security after what happened with the deportations.

Melatonin seems to be back in stock, particularly on Lazada, after being unavailable for a while. I used to buy from Drk Melatonin through LINE, where a bottle of 3mg Melatonin with 240 tablets cost 589 baht. He's out of stock currently. On Lazada, the cheapest equivalent I found is 930 baht. Shopee still doesn’t sell anything related to Melatonin, so its availability on Lazada might be temporary. I’ve seen it come and go before, disappearing suddenly. My go-to brand is Puritan’s Pride 3mg. I take it 30 minutes before bedtime, and it works wonders. Since there aren’t many reviews for the Melatonin products on Lazada, I suspect this might be a short-lived opportunity before authorities or Lazada step in and restrict sales again. Here's the general link: https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=Melatonin

Only if you earn more than 1,000 Baht per month from the Referral Program. To my understanding, exchanges are not required by law to submit customers' trading information to the TRD. Bitkub has an article regarding taxes. You can read about it here.

It seems the Thailand Elite Visa doesn’t fit squarely into either the Non-immigrant or Tourist visa categories; it may be considered a blend of both. You might consider reaching out to Binance TH Live Support for further clarification. Capital gains on cryptocurrency profits remain somewhat under the radar, as exchanges are not legally obligated to report users’ trading activity to Thailand’s Revenue Department.
