And so a significant difference when compared to Indonesia. Thailand's tourism has been aligned with more than a decade of undemocratic principles with little regard or respect to Thai people's sovereignty and needs of the Thai society as a whole.

The only surprise was that Trump was the target. In 2016 the Trump campaign built a database profiling millions of voters in key battleground states – including the family of Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks. https://www.channel4.com/news/revealed-trump-campaign-secret-data-on-gunmans-family

What good is it ranking at all when you can't survive on market prices? PM Prayut found after overthrowing PM Yingluck government and instituting his own rice pledge program that still proved unsustainable with market prices. So instituted various subsidies to lower farmer product cost such as fertilizer subsidies - and still failed profitability. Same now with PM Thavisin who seems to realize the futility of rice profitability with such subsidies. He needs to go "old school" economics and place those farming subsidies where they count for better economic sustainability, ie., higher GDP growth in the manufacturing and services sectors. But will PTP allow such deviation with MFP gaining more political visibility to possibly win the House majority?

Wikipedia "In 2017 New York Times ranked Republican Sebator Collins as the most moderate Republican in the Senate." Wikipedia That noted, political party allegiance tends towards national election candidates versus grass root candidates such county tax assessor, county circuit judge, county school board, county board of commissioners etc. where local familiarity can transcend political party labels. Donations for such low-level political positions tend to be small, ie., $15.

Maybe this: "The ruling Pheu Thai party had initially suggested digital wallet payments for all Thais 16 and older, but later this was limited to only lower-income Thais, defined as people with yearly incomes not exceeding 840,000 baht (about $23,000) and savings in financial institutions not totaling more than 500,000 baht ($13,700)."

President Joe Biden and Democratic lawmakers have worked, so far unsuccessfully, to enact an assault weapons ban." No one to blame for the Trump rally shooting but the leader of MAGA - Trump. I've not seen that level of hypocrisy with Thaksin.

Practically, why would any individual foreigner want a 99 year lease in a country where foreigners have no constitutional rights, subjected to arbitrary military-royalist zenophobic laws and regulations to convince Thais of their never-ending insecurity due to foreign influence? Why would Thais worry about resident foreigners taking control of the nation when the average Thais never possessed sovereignty in their own land. The nation in terms of democratic freedoms and rule of law hasn't really changed since 1932 other than to broaden the elitist base.
