Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand
Of course, it is Thailand that has aligned against the US and moved towards China. The fact is there is only one thing that Thailand produces that has a relatively high demand in the US. That is Hard Drives, HDDs. Everything else Thailand exports to the US could be more easily and in many cases more cheaply produced in countries closer to the US. HDDs could be limited too. Flashdrives already hold as much memory as HDDs did a few years ago. SSDs hold more. HDDs are dying market. A trade war with Thailand on China's side could finish off HDDs as a consumer item almost entirely. And Thailand would lose one of it major industries. -

Report Tragedy Strikes: UK Man Passes in Thailand, Baby Born Days Later
Picture courtesy of The Daily Mail In a heartbreaking turn of events, Ryan O’Connor, a dedicated father-of-three from Rossendale, Lancashire, has died in Thailand while pursuing his dream of training in Muay Thai. His tragic passing came just days before his wife, Joanne, welcomed their third child, a daughter named Maya Jasmine, in the UK. Ryan, aged 30, embarked on his trip on 29 May, determined to fulfil a lifelong ambition before expanding his family. Sadly, his journey was cut short when he fell gravely ill at a hotel in Thailand. Despite being placed on life support, he succumbed to his illness on 28 June, not long before his 31st birthday. Joanne, a mathematics teacher, faced the bittersweet occasion of her daughter's birth on Monday, surrounded by loved ones yet acutely aware of her husband's absence. Ryan's brother, Liam, expressed, “Ryan wanted to achieve this dream before having two children. It was something he was passionate about.” During his stay in Thailand, Ryan developed severe symptoms, including violent diarrhoea, hinting at a possible infection. On 26 June, he made a final video call to his parents, detailing his condition. Alarmed, his father contacted the hotel, urging them to seek medical assistance. Paramedics found Ryan collapsed and in cardiac arrest. After reviving him, they placed him on life support. Tragically, his condition deteriorated, leading to septic shock and his eventual passing. Ryan was remembered fondly by Liam, who described him as “loud, funny, and my best friend.” In the aftermath, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help Joanne and her children, including toddler Riley, cope with this life-altering loss. The fundraiser aims to cover essential costs like repatriating Ryan’s remains, medical expenses, and providing long-term support for the grieving family. Liam implored the public, “Ryan was a fantastic dad and husband. His warmth and humour touched many lives. We urge you to support Joanne and the children during this difficult period.” Donations to support the O'Connor family can be made through their GoFundMe page, helping them navigate the challenges ahead. To assist, please visit their campaign online and contribute to bringing some relief in their darkest times. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-08 -

Is private health insurance worth it for a long-term stay in Thailand?
Assuming you now have good health, whether or not you should buy health insurance depends on your age. If you're middle-aged (in your 40s), the premiums might not be so high. But if you're older (above 60), the premiums are very expensive. I've lived in Thailand for over 20 years and have gone to both private and public hospitals. I have found the public hospitals very good, but they often require you to spend the whole day there just to see a doctor. But their fees for us, non-Thais, are very low, I'd estimate only 10% of what a private hospital charges. I'm 79 now and don't have any health insurance, but feel confident that if/when I need medical attention, a public hospital will be able to provide me the care I need.
