Bangkok Building Collapse Sets Unwanted World Records
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
I recently read some article about it(2 of the warning tower vanished). One MP in Phuket, questioned the govt. And the provincial governor answered that that these things are now under repair, and will be put back to its location after maintenance works are over.

Hi, exact cause of the accident is not pinpointed. But it is outrageous that the driver physically attacked the injured man(who cannot move or resist). That is why those bystanders felt provoked. That response itself, looks pretty humane; confronting the violent stranger to protect the vulnerable under physical attack. That's why I call it Valor. Whose Fault was it? It is not an issue here. It is police job to find out.

Missing Tsunami Warning Towers in Phuket Spark Safety Concerns
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I have been to Phuket just once. During my first visit to this kingdom, back in 98. And I stayed there(on Patong Beach) just one day. I was lucky that that sea surge didn't take place at that time... -

One question out of my curiosity, to the Phuket resident. How far is the closest hill(high enough to survive in case of Tsunami) from the beach? -
1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
black tabby12345 replied to scubascuba3's topic in General Topics
There are 2 of them in my neighborhood. The one that ate my money was closer to home. And it already did it twice in the past month. Another(right and square, never took any coins for no water) is bit further away. I thinks I better go to the latter, from now on. And have you had any problems with your stomach with the water from these machines? About a decade ago, I have read some report about the quality of the bottled water. It said no real difference from the coin fountain... -
Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax

Thailand Hit with 36% Tax Tariff is paid by the importers, not by exporters. Should rather say Americans/US importers. -
Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In other words, Trump policy will simply promote even greater Industrial Hollowing in USA? As the result of his unrealistic level of tariff. US lacks the capability to locally produce the goods(that used to be imported) fast enough., Even if some might did, the cost of end products will be absurd (unsellable in US). Then both of the makers and importers will desert US market. And the United States of America will eventually suffer the dire shortage of both consumer and capital goods, that were once abundant. Quite a chilly forecast... -
Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Major Thai exports to USA. Office machines and car parts, broadcasting equipment, semiconductor devices, natural rubber... And this kingdom is the world's 9th largest exporter to America. Thailand's major export to usa - Google Search So, if US cuts Thai exports by heavier import duties, supplies of these goods to Thai domestic market will increase(therefore price will go down?). I remember one similar phenomenon in the past. When previous military regime met EU's import ban, price of Thai seafood(leading Thai exports to Europe) went down. -

Does he really know Who Pays the Tariff? It is the importers of the foreign goods. Not the exporters. So higher tariff means, greater amount of financial burden(Import Taxes) on own population. -
