Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
you need to check the Foreign trade barriers to see the REAL DATA! It seems the Average rate in Thailand was 9.8% in 2023 !! Only trade deficit was 72% So US will tax 36% incoming goods, which is way more than 9.8 % Thailand apply for import!!

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
but only to me this way of calculation base on trades deficit makes no sense? One country could even apply 0% import duty to US products, but not buy much because not interested. But sell a lot because for example US need clothing. You will still be taxed 30/40/50% because of you sell much more than you import.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
same as always, it's personal; actually I live much more the appearance of Neta compared to MG4, so what? If Neta is that ugly, horrible inside and low performing, why matched MG in 2024? cannot say only because of the price Even more than AION or Ora good cat (that for me is the most horrible ahah)

Ibkr(interactive brokers) and tax, thailand?
when you select "Select the currency you want to deposit" there are many, but no THB. You may try sending USD from your bank, which you change before (this may cost a bit). Unfortunately WISE doesn't work in Thailand, because I use sometime this App as an intermediary

Thailand's Auto Production at Lowest Level Since 2021 Pandemic
"electric vehicles are still expensive, whereas ICE ones aren't" actually I think it's the opposite. 1.5 years ago I bought NETA which I paid less than a similar ICE vechicle. Cheaper regular service and 4x saving considering electricity/petrol price and fuel consumption 15km/l buying now a 2nd hand car is even better for buyer because pay only half price for a 1y old car!

Why I left Thailand
hello, you please explain this ? "As an EU citizen, I am entitled to the EU health insurance which repatriate me in case of an accident. If I have an accident or need hosptal care, but can not be transported, the EU healthcare will sponsor my hospital bill." normal EU heathcare support during your stay in Thailand?! so all turists from EU pay travel insurance for nothing?

Why are Thai women bigger in 2024?
they eat 3 fried meals a day, with sugar drinks, then take motorbike to go to a shop only 50m away. No wonder most of ladies over 30yo are fat; also some children a so overweight that I wonder why they don't notice and take actions

Insurance for lady - not approved
annual premium 12.5k THB for death coverage 100k THB. now you see the low amount, it sound even more ridicolous that they made to me for 10x more, and not to her (which is my wife anyway..)
-
Insurance for lady - not approved
she explained in details what was the BMI result and the normal range. Actually she even offered to go together to the hospital for a visit, very kind.
-
Insurance for lady - not approved
So the life insurance for my thai lady was not approved because of BMI out of target. She is 158cm 43kg... meaning underweight. So my understanding was wrong about this being a correct proportion. Instead seems it could be compliant if 158x 60kg...which to me seems chubby, not saying fat!

Solar panels to charge EV directly?
https://s.lazada.co.th/s.JQNPp you may be right about efficiency or the need to verify in person. I just picked up the first results on Lazada

Solar panels to charge EV directly?
1000w for 1470b, one of the first results on Lazada. Thanks for clarify that 1kW panel makes 3-4kWh per day, I am not an expert. So I can buy 2, still save the money in a few months.
-
Solar panels to charge EV directly?
60km I think is around 8Kwh consumption (~35b /day, 1000b /month). With 1 panel 1000W costing 1500b, chargin 8Kwh would not take 8 hours? Even if I not spend much money, those 1500b could be saved in one and a half months. Or you meaning other equipment is necessary?

Solar panels to charge EV directly?
Hello, I drive 60km a day and my EV car is always at home during the day; usually charged with the normal slow cable (cannot install wall charger since I am renting the house), not a problem leaving connected many hours. Cost per month is quite limited, but I was wondering if I can charge using the daylight: would it be possible to install some solar panels to plug to the car "directly",or need inverter / battery / others? I mean using the real time output, no need storage for using electricity for house. Any advise is appreciated

Rent a car in Poipet?
Hello, I've got a Thai license and in case I can get international driving licens. I plan to drive my company car to Cambodia border, then rent a car for driving around there. I checked on google but cannot find rent-a-car, any suggestion? I could book a taxi or car with driver, but that would be complicated for the driver to spend many days with us... and they drive like crazy Thanks
