First of all Trump isn't against trade, he's against situations where the US has low tariffs on imports from a country and that country has high tariffs against us. Second it would be interesting to understand what this trade association thinks are "precautionary measures" that should be taken? Last but not least, I very much doubt that trade with Thailand is a big priority for the Trump admin, unless they are covering for Chinese companies by re-labeling their products as made in Thailand. If there is a lot of that going on, then those companies are likely to get sanctioned. But then again the Biden admin has been doing the same, so no real change in policy there. Notice that none of the items listed, except semiconductors, is a big issue in the US. And I'm pretty sure that Thailand isn't selling a lot of high-end semiconductors to the US market. Presumably most of what they make here a low-end embedded semiconductors, that are not a priority for trade "barriers".

[@danporath536]

It's close to Phuket which is nice for a mall visit etc. Quiet, clean and a great beach community is ideal.......night life accept for good restaurants is not needed. Guess we'll just have to come look next month. Many thanks Tim.

The days of Thailand's ridiculous benefits from US trade imbalance is over. Thailand has been assessing 80% tariffs on American vehicle imports with abject arrogance. Now the tide has turned. All those Honda motorcycles exported into the US are going to get hit with a 100% tariff in return. Honda may go as far as moving production outside Thailand to avoid the loss in market share; The chickens are coming home to roost.

years ago a group of us foreign teachers frm various western countries, and some Danish fellas who were there on a work-apprentice program (I think dealing with crane manufacture) would get together periodically for low stakes home poker games. both cash and tourney. No Thais allowed, or even mentioned to b/c we didnt want to get snitched on. pretty solid fines for gambling in LoS, with possibility of deportation and cant return for x amount of years.

[@jannenonghan]

What do you mean? If you are a teacher, you should know that Denmark is part of Europe.

[@Gizziiusa]

@@jannenonghan Basically there were two groups of ppl who would attend. Foreign teachers from various western countries, and then a specific group of Danish that werent teachers. I know I worded it weird, but let me explain. Foreign teachers can be from all over: India, Nigeria, Belize, the Philippines for example. Yes, I know Danes from Denmark are from the west too...and I assumed the reader would know this. Sry for the confusion.

Tim, Sorry to go off topic mate but do you, or anyone else, have any clear clarity now how many times one can go in and out on a 60 day non exempt stamp? I'd be going out and back in through Bangkok airport, not border runs. Thanks for any help, Big Al.

[@timnewtontoday]

Simply. No. It appears to be ‘as often as you like’ although some frequenters have been warned. Others haven’t. Depends on the discretion of the immigration officer. Bottomline, if you’re obviously flouting the system, they’ll caution you. If you want to stay in Thailand for a long time, get a visa.

[@BigAl-q1x]

@@timnewtontoday OK thanks for that. I've been here 25 years, bit of a long story but I'm trying to put off hopping back onto the yearly retirement extension for a while. The other issue one could face doing the 60 days is you could be asked to show a forward ticket at the other end before boarding for Bangkok.

@ the math is simple. Thailand should lower its tariffs to encourage the United States not to create tariffs on Thailand. That would be a win-win! That way, an $18,000 Harley Davison won’t cost ฿1.1 million baht in Thailand. And a ฿30 baht coconut won’t cost $6 dollars in the US.

Yes, those are always interesting. How the South China Sea dispute(s) are settled will be fraught with the danger of a regional war that could pull in the U.S. China extended its coastline about 1,300 kilometers by dredging and building up specks of land. Then they proclaimed that their history made these integral to mainland China. The UN said this is not true. Curiously, China AND Taiwan did not accept the UN's point of view.
