Economy Thailand May Be Spared from US Tariff List
File photo courtesy of nbt WORLD Thailand might sidestep high US tariffs, per Thai Commerce Minister. Thailand seems poised to be cut from a list of ten nations most likely to encounter hefty reciprocal tariffs from the United States, as Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan disclosed. The revelation, based on insights from a US private sector source, hints at continued strong economic ties between the two nations. Although official negotiations details remain under wraps, Thai officials are proactive. Discussions with American firms, including Seagate Technology, keep diplomatic wheels turning. Potential proposals aimed at strengthening trade relationships are being prepared by the Thai delegation for future talks. Thailand's export scene to the US showcases its impressive agricultural prowess. The Office of Trade Policy and Strategy states Thailand sent agricultural products worth approximately 168 billion Thai Baht to the US last year. Dog and cat food, rice, flavoured tuna, and juices top the list, contributing significantly to this figure. Shifts in global trade dynamics have notably favoured Thai exports over their Chinese counterparts. High tariffs on Chinese goods have opened avenues for several Thai products in the US market. Leading the charge is Thailand's cat and dog food exports, capturing 38% of the US market share with 30.2 billion Thai Baht last year. Similarly, in the rice trade, Thailand overshadows China, holding a 56% market share with exports worth 30.1 billion Thai Baht. Flavoured mackerel and other agricultural goods also register notable growth due to these trade shifts. While buoyed by these prospects, the Thai export scene isn't without challenges. Competition from Chinese goods, especially garlic, green tea, and dried vegetables, looms large. Yet, with strategic navigation, Thailand remains optimistic about bolstering its market presence in the US. Overall, Thailand's diplomatic dance with the US could avert tariff threats while opening broader market opportunities. The economic gains from these manoeuvres aim to sustain Thai exports in the competitive global market. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-04-29 -

No, she pockets the difference instead and you have no idea. The old saying amongst the Thai ladies “ฝรั่งรู้มากไม่ดี” a farang who knows too much is no good. -

Travellers Vent Frustrations Over Soaring Costs, Two-Tier Pricing, and Cannabis Concerns
When I read "cannabis concerns" I suspect the news is news manufactured for the sake of sensationalism. What kind of turist will complain about one in ten Indian tailor shops being replaced by a cannabis shop? Maybe I'm optimistic about tourists. Maybe they're dumb enough to complain about that. -
