If the price is right... cheap labour.

This proves there is a whole lot of barebacking going on in Thailand.....No use for condoms in Thailand....

Because Thai men don't use them but abandon their off-spring at the 1st sign of morning sickness and are not held to account, paying no paternity money.

Biggest exporter of canned pineapple ? So why is it so expensive here ? 

Same with the overprice 'made in TH' cars.   With lower labor & electric cost, in TH, how does the same car cost less to import or be made in the USA.   TH excise tax makes up 20+% of car price alone.

 

At the time we bought 2nd Vios, cost almost $20k USD, but only 14k in USA, sold as Varis.  Mazda 2 excise tax rebate was 100k baht.

 

Same with some of my Sony camera gear, 'made in TH', but lucky if we get the USA price.

Not if you are following the statistics on Thailand's falling birthrate.

A hub?

Latex products are going export big times. Not just overpriced pillows and mattresses but huge quantities of those rubber caps - I used to deal with one of export companies - 100% BOI nothing for local market, not 7/11 stuff. They claim its better than Trojan and similar. And correct sizes too.

More like, they are told to leave after the break up cos Thais are unable to be mature
