Politics EU-Thailand FTA Negotiations Progress Despite Political Challenges
File photo for reference only Negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Thailand and the European Union are progressing well, according to Bernd Lange, Chair of the Committee on International Trade and European Parliament member. Despite historical political uncertainties in Thailand, both parties aim to finalise the agreement by the end of the year. Lange noted that crafting such comprehensive trade agreements is a complex process, often comprising around 500 pages of conditions and articles. “The progress is really good,” Lange reassured in a recent online interview with Thai PBS World, while acknowledging the time required to reach a final decision. The FTA talks, which first began in March 2013, were interrupted by Thailand’s political instability following the 2014 military coup. However, negotiations resumed in March 2023, renewing hopes for a successful trade partnership. In light of global economic uncertainties, particularly due to US tariff policies, Lange emphasised the importance of cooperation between the EU and ASEAN countries. While an overarching FTA with all ASEAN nations is currently impractical, Lange is optimistic about bilateral agreements. He recently led a delegation to Indonesia to expedite an agreement there and noted that the EU already has FTAs with Singapore and Vietnam, leading to a 20% increase in EU investment in ASEAN. The EU hopes to collaborate with ASEAN on renewable energy projects, reinforcing its role as a dependable trading partner. Lange underscored that, unlike current US trade policies, the EU offers stability and predictability in its trade relations. As Thai-EU negotiations move forward, there is optimism that this FTA could enhance economic ties and foster greater collaboration, contributing to economic stability in the region. Both parties continue to work towards a mutually beneficial agreement amid the dynamic global trade environment. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-05-01 -

Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
I stopped visiting places that have dual pricing long ago, nothing to do with the cost which is small in the grand scheme of things but due to the policy which i disagree with. Most of us spend a small fortune when we come to Thailand and i personally don't like being taken advantage of to visit somewhere. Lets be honest, one temple is the same as the next and the national parks are full of viewpoints brimming with people livestreaming or taking selfies for their oh so important social media accounts. -

I've done exactly that, and it usually works! The humor part is key -- if you get them to chuckle, you're in. -

The COVID Scamdemic and its link to 'Scientism'
Deflection again. You said you're a "medical doctor" This is quite obviously a lie. Why would you say this? Mind you Katy Perry thinks she's an astronaut.
