How many tourist visa allowed?
My possible concern was that my first trip in 2024 was in late May so if I go in July it will be a total of 7 months and a week in Thailand in about 16 months - based on last year I might then go again for 2 months late in 2025 so could be pushing the boundaries. But I'll have the cash and return ticket so hopefully that lowers the risk a bit. Thanks. -

British Fugitive Arrested in Phuket After Violent Brawl in Bangkok
Personally mate I don't give a stuff what foreigners get up to, it doesn't affect my life here in Thailand one iota, also my Thai friends and family aren't at all interested, they've got enough going on their own lives. -

Difficulties foreigners face entering Mae Sot and surrounding areas
I've traveled along 1175 many dozens of times over the years, but only once since Covid, which was in 2023. Strangely, that time, I was briefly pulled over and the two officials on duty were debating on whether to let me through. They did, without incident, but I found it strange that one guy was asking the other if I was to be permitted through. The second guy immediately nodded and said fine...but it seemed odd there was even such a question being posed. In other words, it seems like even at the time, there were sometimes people not granted access? The current closure began only in January and is indefinite; there's no way of knowing if or when they'll ease up and thanks to the total lack of signposting indicating the closure, the only way of knowing what's going on is via forums such as this one, Mae Sot specific expat forums and well, wasting your time going there only to be denied passage. Pre-Covid, route 1175 was definitely open without incident. I have the feeling access was restricted during Covid due to "disease control" measures, but that's not an issue, I didn't go anywhere near the area during Covid nor would I have wanted to. Too many annoying restrictions during those times all throughout the country; they were even stricter in some of the border areas. I remember clearly that a lot of villages in Tak, Mae Hong Son and other provinces prevented foreigners, or even just outsiders, from entering altogether, beginning in 2020 and ending only around the middle of 2022. A YouTuber stuck in Thailand during Covid called "Planet Doug" did a video around July of 2022 and was surprised to find some villages still closed at the time and this was in Tak. It seems that since Covid restrictions were lifted, soldiers stationed along this route have in a way, kept the area under some sort of control they didn't have it in pre-Covid, though generally speaking, foreigners weren't denied access to the highway until January of this year. -

Trump Is Already Slowing Global Trade as Companies Pause Orders
The United States has experienced a striking surge in construction spending for manufacturing facilities. Real manufacturing construction spending has doubled since the end of 2021 (Figure 1).[1] The surge comes in a supportive policy environment for manufacturing construction: the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and CHIPS Act each provided direct funding and tax incentives for public and private manufacturing construction. https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/unpacking-the-boom-in-us-construction-of-manufacturing-facilities
