British Couple’s Thai Dream Turns into Legal Nightmare
The transcription below features news stories from Thailand and Southeast Asia, covering topics from a British couple’s legal ordeal in Thailand to Malaysia’s travel advisory for southern Thailand. Hosted by Alex and Jay, these stories are part of the Good Morning Thailand program. 1. British Couple’s Thai Dream Turns into Legal Nightmare A British couple, Des and Mary Byrne, were brutally attacked in a land dispute but later arrested on counter-charges. With their court date set for March 12, they fear imprisonment despite their attackers confessing. Their family urges UK government intervention. 2. Buddhist Monk Arrested for Decade-Old Robbery Police arrested a 59-year-old monk, Chalad, in Ayutthaya for a 2010 robbery worth over 2 million baht. On the run for years, he had been living in temples under a 2015 warrant. He now faces legal proceedings. 3. Fake Russian Mafia Busted for Extorting Tourists A Russian man posing as a "mafia" figure was arrested on Koh Pha Ngan for extorting tourists. Found with a fake police vest and weapons, he also faces drug-related charges. Authorities urge victims to come forward. 4. Indian Men Caught Smuggling 22kg of Cannabis at Bangkok Airport Two Indian nationals were arrested at Don Mueang Airport for attempting to smuggle 22kg of cannabis disguised as snacks. They failed to provide export permits and now face charges under the Customs Act. 5. Chinese Tourists Accused of Dining and Dashing in Chon Buri Restaurants in Chon Buri report a surge in Chinese tourists skipping out on bills. A recent case on March 2 saw four men leave without paying, prompting police to investigate similar incidents. 6. Wild Elephant Tosses Man from Pickup in Hua Hin A viral video captured a wild elephant using its trunk to throw a man from a moving pickup on Pala-U Road. The passenger suffered minor injuries, raising safety concerns in elephant-prone areas. 7. Cambodian Deputy Governor Arrested in $400K Corruption Bust Cambodian officials arrested Kampong Speu Deputy Governor Tith Vuthy for defrauding a Chinese investor in a mining scam. He and two accomplices have been sentenced to detention. 8. Malaysia Warns Against Travel to Southern Thailand Malaysia advises against non-essential travel to Thailand’s Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces due to security threats, including a recent bomb attack. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant. -

Could Trump's plan fail in a spectacular fashion?
It's not that simplistic. To start with let's assume that the U.S. could substitute the current imports from countries targeted by tariffs by imports from other countries. It would certainly not happen without supply chain and production disruptions and extra cost. Then is it really worth the trouble? What's the benefit, apart from satisfying Trump's childish ego? The other point is that a trade war is not only about imports, but also about exports. After the implementation of tariffs on Europe, the countries under tariffs will represent more than 60 % of U.S. exports. So in case of a trade war, the U.S. will be the country with by far the highest percentage of exports subjected to tariffs by other countries. For example, while more than 60% of U.S. exports could be potentially subject to tariffs, only 20% of EU exports could be potentially affected by US tariffs. Finally, another issue is the possibility of a boycott of US products and brands by consumers. There are premises of it already with Tesla, and also some U.S. products in Canada. If it happened, it would be completely out of control, as even governments willing to keep good relations with the U.S. wouldn't be able to prevent it. -
