As the United States gears up for a trade tussle with its usual gusto, ASEAN isn’t flinching at the sword dance of tariffs.

Talk about an economic comeback story! Thai exports have been on a wild ride, reaching heights unseen in the past three years. Just when critics were ready to write them off due to daunting US tariffs, Thailand’s economy delivered a show-stopping performance. March turned out to be a suspense thriller of a month as exports soared for the ninth consecutive time, recording a colossal 17.8% increase year-on-year, potent enough to hit a jaw-dropping US$29.5 billion.

In an unprecedented turn of events, Thailand’s vaping industry has taken a catastrophic plunge, with sales and usage falling by a staggering 80% in a mere two months. The government’s aggressive anti-e-cigarette campaign, spearheaded by Deputy Government Spokesman Anukool Pruksanusak, has played a pivotal role in this dramatic decline. Driven by mounting concerns over the alarming rise in teen vaping, the Prime Minister ordered a stringent crackdown to curb the trend that’s turning the air thick with worry. Statistics have fueled the government’s urgency: a shocking climb in the percentage of vape users aged 15 to 29, leaping from 5.8% in 2019 to an alarming 12.2%. This meteoric rise has become an uncomfortable reflection of shifting smoking habits among Thai youth. The numbers have sounded the alarm bell, and the government is doing its utmost to douse the flames. Adding heft to the mechanism of change are studies from Ramathibodi…

It seems that the hustle and bustle of diplomatic life can sometimes take a toll, even on the most energetic of world leaders! Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the vivacious leader of Thailand, found herself in an unexpected situation as she returned to the vibrant streets of Bangkok after her recent diplomatic sojourn to neighboring Cambodia. Unfortunately, instead of the usual round of applause and camera flashes welcoming her back, she was greeted by doctors and nurses. The energetic 38-year-old leader, known for her relentless dedication and cheerful demeanor, was whisked away to the hospital late on Thursday with a rather unwelcome companion — a high fever.
