1/ Thaksin is in prison, Thaksin daughter and Pheu Thai are not relevant. 2/ Prayut had seen enough and done enough, had no interest to do PM job again. 3/ PP option was back Pheu Thai or back BJ or back no one. 4/ The new Administration term is 3/4 months or to max 2.5 years ? IMO, the issue is PP bet the "right horse" or the "wrong horse" ?

Lots of bad news here in Thailand, Thai Baht had been surprisingly strong against USD for the past 5-6 months. ASEAN members criticized it had been artificial and manipulated ??? Who Manipulated ? Nobody dares to answer.

Last time N Korea leader attended the Chinese military parade in Beijing 66 years ago. That's was Young Kim grandfather going during China Mao era. In the late 1950's period, China was of course very, very poor and N. Korea just had a big 3-year war on their soil in early 1950's. needless to say struggling very badly. Both China and N. Korea are Communist States, then and now. Well, after 6.5 decades, the Chinese had risen to whatever they are today and N Korean has been still poor. What a sharp contrast. Those thinking and labelling "'commies" with derogation and bad-mouthing intent are just living in denial of facts and reality.

First paragraph. Vietnam 26.3% ... Philippines (18.9%), Indonesia (18.3%), Malaysia (12.7%), Cambodia (12.7%), and Singapore (11.1%). So Thailand was lower than 11.1%, or Intentional missed data on Thailand ? As in many cases, this article from "Bangkok Post" had been biased.... yes biased against Thailand.

Trump unknowingly threw out 50 figure earlier. That day, Sept 3, 2025 will be Putin time with Xi in beijing. Trump is not invited joining. Now Trump changed 50-Day deadline, which happened to be Sept 3, 2025, to save face, save Trump own face.

Tariff or no tariff, Trump or no Trump, under no war in Far East Region scenario, China surpassing USA is just a matter of time.

China GDP growth in 2025 first quarter 5.4%, second quarter 5.2% USA GDP growth in 2025 first quarter -0.2%, second quarter to be announced later. If Second quarter is negative then it will be officially Recession underway for USA.

Trump does not know how to end this tariff fiasco. So setting July 7 deadline, re-setting Aug 1 deadline. ( If it was indeed "Liberation", why not go ahead in full steam right from the beginning on April 2, 2025 ? )

Less tourists from China nowadays ? Yes, a lot less. Xi had opinion on Thailand casino plan ? No.

Exodus from UK is real. Exodus from China had been done decades ago, not 2025. Exodus from Thailand ? Not so sure at this stage. After all Thailand issue and situation now is not as desperate as 2020/21 ( international tourism all dead ) and 2012/13 ( edging towards internal civil war )

Not about told or not told. Issue is the young Thai PM not capable learning on the job. Globally Some young and inexperienced can learn and improve while on the job, some cannot.

USD is lacking bounce even with American good news here and there in past 2-3 weeks USD is now slipping against all currencies, expert Japanese Yen. More like USD Vs THB heading to 1: 30, not the other way.

Trump deadline is no deadline. In Jan, Trump set 75-day deadline in April 2025 for TikTok sale or ban, and in April Trump extended and imposed second 75-Day deadline June 2025. On June 19, 2025, Trump changed his second deadline again. Issue of credibility nowadays.

Tourism had fallen, particularly in the past two months. Export had risen, going well this year. No need to be serious about July 9, 2025. Negotiations would keep going further and beyond. Mr. TACO Trade is due to extend 'his deadline' call

Trump team Vs court. During this uncertain period, this could be the situation. 25% on Canada ( before Apr 2 ) 25% on Mexico ( before Apr 2 ) 20% on China ( Before Apr 2 ) Rest of the world --- Zero Negotiations for deal -- the case between USA and Thailand for example ? Hold off for now.
