You just walk right into the traffic in Vietnam. Scary at first but it surprisingly works. -
Report Thailand Slashes Cannabis Shops Amid New Medical Regulations
captain_shane replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They'll get nothing. I saw this coming from the beginning. There's not a single government on earth that lets their citizens profit from stuff like this without taking its cut. The industry will get monopolized and only the big players will run things. -

How's it going Raj? No, Thai people don't like you more than Westerners. -
Tourism Malaysia Tops China as Thailand's Leading Visitor Source
captain_shane replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The more indians that arrive, the more I want to leave. I'm not sure why Thailand wants the least desirable tourists, especially when indians are broke and only eat in indian restaurants and stay in indian hotels. One western euro falang probably spends more in one night in the bar than a group of 5 indians spend in an entire week. -

Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand

I love how the most ignorant are the most arrogant. You should get off the internet pal and go read a book. Average Rates: In the period leading up to the new tariff, the average applied MFN tariff rate for Thai goods entering the U.S. was relatively low, generally in the single digits. For example, in 2021, the average MFN applied tariff was approximately 11.5%, with a lower rate of about 8.4% for non-agricultural products and a significantly higher average of 31.2% for agricultural products. Product-Specific Rates: The actual MFN duty varied significantly by product. For instance, while many raw materials and electronic components might have had very low or zero tariffs, other sectors faced higher rates. The U.S. tariff schedule is highly detailed, with specific rates for thousands of categories of goods. The Expired Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) For many years, Thailand benefited from the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, which is designed to promote economic growth in developing countries by providing duty-free entry for thousands of products. -------------------- Now tell me, what are the rates thailand has on US products? -

You tell us? How is it fair for countries to tariff US products but not the other way around? -
Health Rising HIV Cases Among Thai Youth Prompt New Health Initiatives

I suppose the people giving me thumbs down already have HIV, otherwise what did I say was wrong? Do you think surging cases of HIV will have a positive effect on nightlife? -

Causes of the exponential increase in Thai obesity?
captain_shane replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
They eat far too much. People in issan have limited money and so they eat things they pick themselves like mushrooms. When they get more money they eat just as much food but it's all unhealthy garbage. -
You're really trying to compare Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones to some random Jurassic Park movie? If this was the original jurassic park I would agree, but this rehash movie will do nothing to move the tourism needle. The Beach brought in huge tourists because the movie was almost made for it targeting 20 something backpackers, this jurassic park is targeting mostly children.

Such greed. Someone booking a 1k baht room covers the increase for 20 employees. Even 400 is ridiculously low, people at CJ make 585+ per day. -
