Yeah, there's a lot of big Thai companies doing business down here in Cambodia. Just one example is 7/11 which are building them all over the place. I'll bet they love having their business disrupted by petty politicians and money really talks in Thailand. -

Economy Thailand Urgently Negotiates Tariff Agreement with US as Deadline Looms
File photo for reference only Thailand faces a crucial negotiation deadline with the United States on reciprocal tariffs, set to expire on July 7, which could result in tariffs rising to 36% if unresolved. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira is leading delegations to Washington to avert this economic challenge. Ongoing discussions, started months ago, involve multiple US agencies, including the Department of Commerce and US Trade Representative (USTR). Pichai highlighted the dynamic negotiation landscape, stressing the importance of collaboration between Thailand’s Fiscal Policy Office and Department of Trade Negotiations. Thailand intends to hire a US-based consultancy or lobbying firm to navigate these complex negotiations. Such services typically cost between $20,000 and $300,000 per month, but specialised expertise in policy connections is deemed crucial given the high stakes. The negotiations aim to maintain Thailand’s trade competitiveness, with Pichai emphasising transparency under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act. Without adequate support, Thai exporters, farmers, and businesses risk substantial setbacks. A preliminary US proposal suggested raising tariffs on Thai goods from 10% to 18%, including non-tariff conditions. Thailand seeks to negotiate this figure closer to the 10% rate applied to other countries, potentially securing an extension beyond the looming deadline. Pichai is departing for the US to engage directly in these critical discussions. He aims for a resolution that respects national interests while accommodating US constraints, striving for a "win-win" outcome. The talks will also focus on non-tariff barriers, providing Thailand an opportunity to refine its regulatory framework for enhanced trade flexibility. While no countries have yet finalised agreements, there’s optimism that negotiation timelines might extend. Pichai stressed the need to avoid any disadvantage compared to other nations, underscoring the necessity of preserving Thailand’s competitive edge in the global market.

Crime Foreign Tourist Goes on Rampage in 12th Floor Pattaya Hotel Room
If you genuinely believe that 'trace amounts' of weed in his system were the cause of this heinous crime then I'm not surprised so many of the public with no real experience of it are against the legalisation of it. -
