300 baht Tourist Tax reboot, baby swap in Thai hospital, flood update - Sept 17

Thailand news - The Thai baht continues its surge ahead of tomorrow's US Fed interest-rate decision, floods subside in the north as the Andaman coast - including Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi - get slammed by storms and heavy rain. Shanghai is just recovering from one typhoon with another approaching this week. The 300 baht tourist/arrival tax/levy resurfaces, and a baby swap in a Thai hospital but with a happy ending for the couples involved.
