Cheers.......Kinda interesting how some [throughout this and other similar threads] might observe and critique recent times without whataboutism historic comparisons - attempting to gather convoluted political/societal advantage by using the good guys vs. bad guys scenarios......when in reality, there's not much difference between the two.
Even more impressively ignorant is that no one realizes that all this decades upon decades long nonsense [regardless of government] has truly no personal effect on everyday Thais, as they remain steadfastly free, independent and self-sufficient for the most part.
Very unique within particular anthropological and sociological studies.
Referred to as the: mysterious Thai paradox.
