The USA is not a bully. The bullies are the other countries that expect to sell all their goods into the USA for free but put huge tariffs on American stuff going into their country. The only way to deal with a bully is to hit back which is what America is doing now.

Or maybe just lower the tariffs that Thailand charges on all USA stuff imported here.

I have rented cars in the UK using my Thai drivers license on multiple occasions with many different companies. Never had a problem. No IDP was asked for.

Years ago I talked to a police chief about this problem. He said they could stop all the kids as they leave school but all that would happen is the Thai's would stop[ sending their children to school and they would get no education. So the status quo was the better of two evils.

Easy, Just live in the Philippines for 6 months 1 day of the year and Thailand for the other 6 months and not only will he get the cost of living increase to his pension but he will also not have to pay Thai Income Tax!

The British Foreign office have updated their Thailand page saying visa free if now 60 days from 1st June. So even the British government have no idea what Thailand is really doing.

That was for normal travel insurance. It is true it can be a lot cheaper if pre-existing conditions are not included but I have so many pre-existing that it would mean I would have no cover health cover whatsoever and I am sure they would even try to not pay out on accident causing medical treatment. I have found it is better to pay myself. Spent 4 nights in Queen Sirikit hospital with all the care. Lots of daily tests and X-Rays, medication and private room. The doctors were first class. My heart was checked by one of Thailand's top heart specialists who happened to be at the hospital at the time. The whole cost came to less than the insurance excess which was £500. Always avoid the private hospital rip offs in Thailand.

I wish I could get travel insurance. Being 70 years young with stage 4 kidney disease, heart failure, very high blood pressure and a stay in Intensive Care within the last 9 months no company will insure me without paying thousands of pounds! Glad the Thai government are now going to cover the cost for me!

A few years ago Facebook could not be connected to from Thailand for about 25 minutes. People went crazy! I dread to think what would happen if it was permanent. Then the government will really see what it is to have the population turn against you.
