They always try to lure other countries and now it hits them right in the face.They think their the leading asian country while the others laughing and take over the tourism day by day.

Not just tourism, Vietnam are winning on the economy as well

And just like that, his health issues have all been cured and the once frail pitiful kingpin Thraksin is on the top of the Thia political heap ready to rip the Thai people off once again. The Thai government has zero room to criticize anyone else government when they keep letting crooks run the country.

Oh yeah! this is a fantastic idea. Do that and see what happens to the Thai economy once everyone stops coming to Thailand and spending their money here!  Ever hear the idiom "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face!"

President Trump should make it a mandatory 50% if Thaksin insists on sticking his nose in Thailands business

Maybe 51%?

Is he running the country?  Who is in charge in Thailand?  I have an idea who leads Cambodia, Laos, Burma and Vietnam, but cannot get my head around who is in charge over here.

IMO no single entity runs the country; as much as anything can, the country pretty much runs itself. At the same time, if there is anyone in charge, it's the ever shifting money/power elite in it's many forms and permutations; he is part of that. Both these views can be true at once. 

As regards the trade negotiations, the people at the top are in a very hard place it seems. Thailand has the weaker hand by far, but no one can afford to be seen to be giving in to the US, thereby losing face, the ultimate embarrassment. Interesting times ahead.
