I am afraid with the situation where Thai people refuse to admitt they are ever wrong, this type of situation will carry on for generations. I have no doubt by around the year 3000 that things will have gradually changed (maybe) and Thai people (some, probably not all) will be able to admitt that there is a distinct possibility that they could be wrong.
This situation I believe is taught from a very early age, to never admitt they are wrong and never make decisions ("it's up to you") where there is a possibility they could make the wrong answer. Maybe that's why we like Thailand.
