Economy Anthrax Outbreak Halts Thai Beef Exports to Vietnam, Border Trade Suffers Massive Losses
Picture courtesy of Amarin An outbreak of anthrax in livestock has caused a major disruption to Thailand’s border trade, with beef exports to Vietnam suspended indefinitely. The halt has triggered an estimated monthly loss of nearly 500 million baht. While the northeastern border province of Nakhon Phanom has not recorded any anthrax infections, it has nonetheless been severely impacted by the disease’s spread in other regions. Nakhon Phanom plays a key role in the export of live cattle through the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, connecting Thailand to Khammouane province in Laos, a crucial route for beef exports to Vietnam. Reports indicate that Vietnam has been importing around 10,000 head of cattle per month from Thailand, generating a monthly trade value of between 300 and 500 million baht. Each animal is valued between 50,000 and 80,000 baht, making the trade a vital source of income for Thai cattle farmers. In the past two months alone, exports peaked at 15,000 cattle per month. However, Vietnam has now suspended beef imports from Thailand due to growing concerns over the anthrax outbreak, effectively freezing trade via the border checkpoint. Authorities warn that if the situation is not resolved quickly, financial losses could exceed half a billion baht per month. In response, the Department of Livestock Development, in collaboration with Nakhon Phanom provincial officials and relevant agencies, has initiated urgent talks with counterparts in Laos and Vietnam to resume the trade as soon as possible. Efforts are also being made to bolster disease prevention measures, reassure buyers, and establish new standards to restore confidence in the safety of Thai livestock. Authorities are simultaneously encouraging Thai farmers to continue and expand cattle breeding efforts, given Vietnam’s sustained demand. Officials stress that the Vietnamese market remains a significant opportunity for Thai beef producers and are working to ensure long-term stability in cross-border livestock trade.

Report Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
Sure they could remit whatever they wanted while non resident or in fact forever after they earned the money in a previous year - while non resident. Is this attempting to close the 'can remit forever' part of this? I doubt it as it's savings from a non resident year - but it might be, who knows. Also they seem to have extended it to the year after non residency as well as the year of non residency. How about people who've been non resident for many years - are they going to tax them if they return? The whole thing as usual is as clear as mud. Whatever they do it's to raise additional revenue - not less. -

Report Thai PM Jets To UK & Monaco To Push 'Soft Power' Agenda
File photo. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is heading to the United Kingdom and Monaco this week, with plans centred on boosting tourism and promoting Thailand's "soft power". Between May 21st and 25th, she aims to captivate international audiences with the charm and authenticity of Thai culture, according to government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub. The premier will highlight Thai cuisine, boxing, and the potential for hosting prestigious international events. A crucial element of her UK visit is the unveiling of the new "Thai SELECT" logo. This certification, devised by the Thai government, assures the authentic taste of Thai eateries at home and abroad. Paetongtarn will present this coveted recognition to 115 Thai restaurants during a ceremony replete with demonstrations of Thai culinary splendours, aromatic Hom Mali rice, and evocative traditional practices like Thai boxing and massage. This mission is not just about taste; it's a strategic move to establish and strengthen ties with major food importers and the Association of Thai Businesses in the UK. Following the logo ceremony, Paetongtarn will host discussions with prominent food importers and the Thai business community in London to explore avenues for expanding Thailand’s culinary exports. Additionally, her visit includes engagements with leading Thai boxing enterprises, aiming to fortify sports collaborations between the UK and Thailand. The prime minister's itinerary also includes a promotional event at the Cricklewood branch of the Wing Yip Superstore, spotlighting Thai goods. Paetongtarn's journey doesn't stop there. She’ll head to Monaco, where Formula 1 racing takes centre stage. In Monte Carlo, discussions will unfold regarding the exhilarating prospect of Thailand hosting its own Formula 1 city circuit, marking Thailand’s potential entry onto the Grand Prix stage. The trip will further be highlighted by her attendance at the prestigious Formula 1 Tag Heuer Monaco Grand Prix, signalling Thailand's aspiration to blend tradition with modern sporting magnificence. This international mission underscores Thailand's strategic push to wield its cultural allure globally, laying groundwork for enhanced economic and cultural exchanges. As Paetongtarn navigates these diplomatic engagements, Thailand embraces a future grounded in the power of culinary and cultural diplomacy. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS 2025-05-20 -
