Economy US Imposes 19% Tariff on Thailand in Major Trade Shift
Tariffs are paid by the importer, not origin country. So in case the courts rule the tariffs to be illegal, then the companies who imported the products into the US will get their money back. The damage to the origin country and the US consumer has already been done by that point. -

Tourism Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Feel "Short-Changed" Amid Local Deals
When I was in a local tier 2 hospital, I was charged more, but that was justified by them putting me in a private room. Hell 1 time I was put in the maternity section for food poisoning so that they had a nurse that spoke English LOL I am not justifying just saying that there are a few reasons. Hosiptals get government funding for Thais through the Thai 30 baht system. I have a feeling that if we looked at Canadian US hospitals, they have a system to overcharge people also because of a lack of government support. -

Trying to help Cambodian friend w/ visa issue leave Thailand
Thinking this is best option. Seems she didn't change employment correctly so is in overstay. She wouldn't be detained at airport and most likely the 90 reporting doesn't come into play. Being fined is set at 500/day up to maximum 20k baht. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Army Ordered to Shoot Down Unauthorised Drones
Pictures courtesy of Amarin. The Royal Thai Army has been authorised to shoot down unidentified drones immediately, as part of escalated national defence measures following increased surveillance activity near sensitive military sites. Colonel Ritcha Sukawanon, Deputy Army Spokesperson, confirmed the directive came from Army Commander-in-Chief General Phana Klaewplodthuk, who also heads the Army Operations Centre and serves as Deputy Director of Internal Security Operations. The move follows a directive issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) on 29 July 2025, which bans all drone operations across the Kingdom, regardless of purpose or location, due to heightened security concerns along the Thai–Cambodian border. All four regional army commands (Regions 1–4) and their respective Internal Security Operations Centres have been instructed to coordinate closely with provincial and local authorities, police and the private sector to ensure robust anti-drone defences. The army has been empowered to deploy Anti-Drone Systems and destroy drones from the ground as necessary. Local security units will form rapid response teams comprising military police, provincial officers and civil security forces to track, intercept and apprehend those operating unauthorised drones. The army outlined specific engagement protocols based on geographical area and the level of threat: •Region 1 & 2: • Frontline Areas: Both soft kill (e.g., signal jamming) and hard kill (physical destruction) measures are permitted. • Rear Areas: Soft kill must be attempted first; hard kill can only be used if necessary and must not endanger civilians. Region 3 & 4: • Priority is given to soft kill tactics. Hard kill measures may be used only when deemed essential. • Responsibility for any weapon deployment lies primarily with the police. Military personnel may only engage within their assigned zones using precision weapons that pose no threat to the general public. General Mayor Threats Nationwide: If a drone is deemed a direct threat to life, sovereignty or national interests, military personnel are authorised to use personal or unit-issued weapons to neutralise the threat immediately. The public has been urged to report any suspicious drone activity or violations of the CAAT’s ban. Tip-offs can be submitted via the national security hotline 1374, which operates 24 hours a day. This intensified readiness follows rising concerns over foreign surveillance and cross-border hostilities, particularly involving the use of long-range weapons by Cambodian forces, actions the Thai army has condemned as violations of international law. The Royal Thai Army insists these measures are vital to safeguard national sovereignty and protect military installations amid regional tensions.
