Why Isn’t the Thai Baht Weakening?
The Thai Baht is also heavily influenced by the gold price, which saw a significant drop today.

NEGATIVE Real World Effectiveness of the Flu-vaccine
Interesting to see two parties completely argue past each other, clearly caused by the erroneous title of this threat. The OP’s linked study relates to the ineffectiveness of an older vaccine against pneumococcal pneumonia caused by a bacterium, but mistakes that for all flu vaccines, which protect against influenza caused by a virus.

Thailand Acts to Tackle Baht Surge Amid Trade Woes
You have it wrong way around. If Thailand sells a chunk of its foreign reserves, they are buying back Thai Baht, thus creating more demand for the Baht and thus increasing its value. The reason why Thailand has such a large foreign reserve is because the Bank of Thailand has been buying a lot of foreign currency to try to decrease the value of the Baht.

US Imposes 19% Tariff on Thailand in Major Trade Shift
Tariffs are paid by the importer, not origin country. So in case the courts rule the tariffs to be illegal, then the companies who imported the products into the US will get their money back. The damage to the origin country and the US consumer has already been done by that point.

Anyone with experience buying house in childs (12 year old Thai national) in Chiang Mai?
By law a Thai child can own land in Thailand, but some land departments won’t make it easy if a foreign dad is involved. Plus once it’s in his name, you can’t have control over it without a Thai court’s approval. So if you want to sell the land in a few years, you’ll likely won’t be able unless you have a good reason that benefits the child, eg need the money for your child’s tuition. Also you won’t be able to get a usufruct I think as the kid is not old enough to sign off on it, so again it has to be approved by the court, and unless you pay good money for that usufruct, there is no advantage for the child, so the court wouldn’t grant it. It may be possible to get the usufruct from the seller first, and then your son buys the property with the usufruct already on it. I think it’s best to talk with a local lawyer who has good connection both with the land department and family court, before doing anything.

Import /customs tax for collector's sports cards
That is the HS code for printed license keys for computer software. And the 40% is the ceiling rate, the general rate would be exempted (0 in practice) Trading cards fall under HS code 4911.1090. Ceiling rate is also 40% but the reduced general rate is 10%. Op will have to pay 10% import duty in the cards plus shipping plus insurance, and then 7% on the cards plus shipping plus insurance plus import duty.
