This could cause the dollar to depreciate by maybe 15%. This is what Trump wants. i -

Do I Have to Carry My Passport

Thailand Greenlights Entertainment Complex Bill with Casino Limits
Thailand Greenlights Entertainment Complex Bill with Casino Limits Thailand’s Cabinet has approved the Entertainment Complex Bill, paving the way for integrated resorts with casinos capped at just 10% of each complex’s area. Aimed at boosting the economy while managing social impact, the bill has strong public backing and now heads to Parliament. Thai nationals must deposit 50 million baht to enter casinos, and operations will be tightly regulated under financial and anti-money laundering laws. Strict penalties target violations, including illegal gambling and online betting. Public input will influence site decisions, signalling a cautious but ambitious move to modernise Thailand’s entertainment landscape. -

Warning on Driving in Japan with a Thai License
Are you sure you were given accurate information? There may be confusion over signing and the terms ratification and accession. In plain language, the documentation indicates that Thailand agreed to the 1949 Treaty. In international law, treaty accession refers to a state formally joining a treaty that was already negotiated and signed by other states, usually after the treaty has entered into force, effectively becoming a party to it Let's go to the UN treaty and look at the columns; https://treaties.un.org/pages/ViewDetailsV.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-1&chapter=11&Temp=mtdsg5&clang=_en Under the column accession, succession ratification the countries who are 1949 Treaty participants by accession are shown by the date and the letter (a). Australia agreed in 1954, Canada 1965, Singapore 1972, and Thailand 1962. This means that they agreed to the 1949 treaty on the aforementioned dates. To verify, I visited the Canadian and Australian foreign travel websites. They confirm one can drive in Japan with an Australian or Canadian issued driver's permit subject to an IDP. I then checked with a car rental website and it too confirms that Thailand driver permit holders can drive in Japan subject to holding an IDP. For travelers temporarily visiting Japan, you will either be required to bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) under the Geneva Convention of 1949, or a driver’s license from your own country with a valid legal translation of your license, which can be ordered from the company Driving-Japan. The required materials will vary depending on your country of domicile, so be sure to check the lists below! Countries requiring an International Driving Permit: Asia Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, Hong Kong(China), India, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand Source: https://niconicorentacar.jp/driving-in-japan/driving-in-japan-the-complete-guide-for-tourists-and-foreigners/ Nippon Car Rental also confirms the above. Toyota Car Rental is Hertz and their website offers Thais car rental in Japan. They would not be doing this if the IDP was not compliant. My conclusion is that you were given bad advice and that the person who told you this is ignorant and does not understand what accession means. I suggest you contact the Japanese head office and clairfy or complain. Any chance they were looking for an excuse not to rent to you? Sometimes they are fully booked and don't have vehicles and need to manage the shortfall. And sometimes you get an idiot who is not properly trained.
