Hahaha love the fake niceties - the Japanese have been ripping of the Thais for decades using them as cheap labor in the export industries and ripping them off domestically selling them substandard overpriced cars for example. A Toyota Camry 2019 2.5 starting price in the US from 24.600 $ and in Thailand almost 1.6 million Baht - no wonder the Japanese PM is sucking up to anybody in charge here.
Congratulating him on a second term? Is this guy for real? Either the government propaganda made this up again or the Japanese PM needs a little advise and clarification on what’s going on in Thailand!
