Did you spend 5 minutes to research Anything? Iran, The US has strong sactions already against Iran, and not sure the 2023 Iran exported to United States were Paintings ($869k), Sculptures ($588k), and Brochures ($456k) is a big trade concern. Russia Russia has strong sanctions. Not sure how putting a Tariff on the Fertilizer and Non-Ferrous Metal we import from Russia will help. Russia trade for 2023 was $3 billion or .0068% of what China trades with the US which is $439 Billion

What is this nonsense the person inviting people pays for everything? I've seen many all contribute to bills at clubs. They see Rich Foreigner and say "Jackpot" and want to run up the bill freely with no concern for prices. Depending on the situation I have done the same thing. The girlfriend and all her friends know what's up now

It said she was an ICU nurse so she should have insurance. Additionally she had to understand the risks as she would have seen patients with injuries in residency and on the job. I understand, you come to Thailand and want to have fun, ride around on a motorbike, and enjoy yourself. You have to properly analyze the situation. Take a motorbike taxi first. Do you have the skill and experience to ride safely. Do you have medical insurance? Did you fill out the Emergency info on your mobile phone? Another young rider who still believes the risks outweigh the reward.

Seems they don't understand you only have to be wrong once and you are dead permanently. I know the helmet may not be comfortable or may be hot but if you value life wear it. Probably never had an accident and doesn't understand the dangers. RIP young man.

I do wonder about the tracks still being within the precise specifications for the train to operate at "High Speed" It would not look favorable if they have to put reduced speed limits on sections of the track because they are not within the specifications for "High Speed" travel.

Not sure where this is going to end up. I believe Trump was attempting to use Tariffs to get countries to the bargaining table. Ones that didn't want to work a deal he viewed as acceptable would face tariffs. The countries viewed it that the outrage from its citizens if they accepted a deal like the US has been accepting from other countries for years. Everyone will feel some pain. Countries with stronger economies will probably come out better off in the end. The challenges that Tariffs place on other countries economies will probably be impactful. I understand Trump wants to work deals that are advantageous for the US and will accept no less than what he views as a fair deal. If you view someone as having an unfair competitive advantage then you want to level the playing field.

If the shirtless person in the picture is the alleged perpetrator then I think he will survive until morning. If you are hungry you go to Temple in the morning and explain your situation. Sorry Thailand. I apologize for my fellow countryman's behavior and hope it doesn't reflect negatively on us. Most of us don't resort to Caveman mentality and take a rock to smash something especially if it is to help orphaned children. Punishment should be he has to do community service at the charity for X hours to understand the people he impacted.

She says that now. She looks like she will get bored with Thailand and move to Bali, insert name here after a year or 2 in Thailand. Know many Brits who said the same as her. Thailand was better life and fit for their lifestyle. Welcome to Thailand, hope you find it as interesting and enjoyable as many of us.

That is this wonderful Idea when you have a Health insurance policy and pay a premium and maybe deductible that you get a bonus option the pleasure to share the expense of whatever medical care you receive. Example: Bill is 20,000 baht you get to pay deductible plus 4,000 baht and insurance would pay 16,000 baht

The punishment is that he buys and has to repaint the box to a similar color as before. Went to Milan, Italy years ago and idiots spray painted all over the old beautiful buildings. Do this people even have 2 brain cells? I understand the difference in a multi-color spray painted piece of graffiti and someone with a 2nd graders handwriting ability who scribbles something on the wall with a can of spray paint.

Watched a small YouTube channel of a guy in Bangkok. He showed a Crack approximately 1 inch wide from top to bottom of wall. I told him that if this is just 1 condo unit how many others have similar cracks. Informed him you only need to be wrong one time before you die. Who knows when the aftershock will occur and if it happens to a building with support structures that are compromised there could be serious problems. I would definitely delay in plans to stay in Bqngkok for a while, until they have had time to inspect the buildings. I've heard many inspectors from around the globe are possibly traveling to Thailand to assist with inspections.

From what I've read most insurances will not pay when accident, injury, or death is a result of fighting or certain sports. Sad, RIP British man.

I'm no tax expert so consult with an expert or attorney but the Revenue Department talks about this certificate being needed when you Leave Thailand not when living in Thailand. Tax Clearance Certificate https://www.rd.go.th/english/23518.html I think you mean the "Income Tax Payment Certificate" This may be needed for claiming a credit if your Double Tax Agreement allows for the tax already paid in Thailand.

Sunday Morning close to Mikes Shopping Mall on Beach Road I saw a drunk appeared to be Indian Man walking down the middle of the road. Cars and Buses going by honking at him but he didn't seem to care. Motorbike Taxi and I said crazy foreigner, I guess he wants to die. Lucky for him it was early. Sure he didn't want to extend his vacation with a visit to a nice Pattaya Hospital.

It makes their case that much harder, word gets out, people hide, leave the country, destroy evidence. Just glad to see them take action. Glad to read Scam call have decreased a lot. I know a lot of this will evolve and start up somewhere else but still hope it becomes extremely difficult to execute
