Economy Trump's Tariff Troubles: Thai Academic Sounds Alarm on Key Issues
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The big takeaway from this is that America can never be trusted again. Not wishing to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, Thailand must now look for new trading partners for its exports.- 181 replies

Maybe also put a high tax on revenue generated from Thailand by American tech companies such as that generated from Facebook, Google, Amazon ads, Netflix, Apple, etc. -
Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand should now recognise that America cannot be trusted, ever again. It should look for new customers and get economically closer to China. Maybe it should increase its prices even further on certain food products such as rice and shrimp and really let the American consumer suffer even worse, remembering that the American consumer is the American voter. -
Report Thailand to Reclassify Cannabis as Controlled Substance
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why jump from one extreme to another. Some people wish to use it as a recreational drug, just as they do with cigarettes. Banning the substance is not the answer; it will only create pushers, jail more users, waste police time. Why not make it less available: 1. restrict the number of outlets (say 2 in Pattaya, 4 in Bangkok, etc) by charging a huge licence fee, to the highest bidders. 2. charge a very high duty on the sale of the product. Like cigarettes the product should not be flaunted to the sight if non-users and children. -

Crime Jealous New Foreign Boyfriend Stabs Russian in Pattaya

How bloody stupid. Nearly two lives finished; the victim dead and the assailant in prison for life. Add to that the lives of their loved ones which would have been ruined. The lessons: 1. Do not carry killer weapons. 2. 3. 4. and more, the obvious. -
Thai Restaurant Industry Faces Crisis as Purchases Plummet by 40%
tonypattaya replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
1. Reduce the massive import tax on wine. 2. Restaurants should uplift the price by 50% not 100%+ 3. True dinners would then start to eat out more often. -

Reader's cannot know the full story. There are always two sides to a story. If the whole thing was caught on CCTV then the outcome should be a simple affair. -

Unbelievable, or maybe not! -
Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Nothing less than DISGRACEFUL. The government must do more. Maybe appoint a minister whose job it is, solely, to improve the English proficiency throughout the land. Some think that their own language is the one that everyone should learn, not understanding that if a foreigner learns Thai, it will only hep in Thailand, but if a Thai learns English, it will help him all over the world. Wake up government, you were appointed to do a job! -
Fundraiser (begging) again. What about the family paying; or what about insurance beforehand. Many travelers fork out for insurance. Those who dont know the consequences.; or what about a funeral in Thailand!

With wines and champagne as expensive as it is in Thailand with 300% duty, Thailand attracts ONLY beer drinkers.
