As the Srettha government begins implementing its stimulus packages, aimed at revitalising Thailand’s economy, members of the foreign business community here have reiterated their call for political stability and regulatory transparency, which they see as essential in attracting investment.

 

The much-publicised “digital wallet” scheme has received their support, but that comes with advice for caution, especially as far as transparency is concerned.

 

In an interview with Thai PBS World, Vibeke Lyssand Leirvag, Chairwoman of the Joint Foreign Chamber of Commerce, stressed that transparency in implementing the policy is paramount.

Taxing foreign income brought into Thailand might be a good idea.

And mostly spent at the 7/11 Offy or the Ma and Pa stores on Booze

They are never going to get Clarity, nor Stability in Thailand. In fact, exactly the opposite.
