The Thai government should use its limited resources to put Thais to work on infrastructure projects that will contribute to future direct foreign investment. Yet their military folks have convinced the gov't to still consider purchase of a CCP submarine (an extremely expensive life cycle operational proposition). Some Navy bigwigs want to feel important without any hint of a deep water strategic need. The sad thing is the long-term strategic political & military implications (CCP blackmail).
Yet, the apparently blind Thai Minister of Defense, Phumtham, stated that the diplomatic relationship with China was a good reason to purchase the damn thing. What nonsense. Thailand will be dependent upon PRC submarine model specific Doctrine, Organization, Training, Logistics and Materiel upgrades, & thus subject to CCP unreliability /blackmail. Undoubtedly there will be PRC advisors in Thailand for these functions and they will be doing their CCP required intelligence gathering while here.
Qatar have 2 types of business, what you would term normal business and then Q suite which is fantastic. You have to check which flights Q suite is available on for example I flew to Qatar and business and returned on Q suite.
