Are Thais smarter than us?

and did those "smart "  Thais  make  any of those  things, nuclear  will deter  any attack from a bat wielding country.

Not really, since nuclear weapons aren't made to be used. They are only a deterrent to another psychopathic country with nuclear arms and even then both sides lose along with the rest of the world if they are ever used so nobody would or wants to use them. The Viet-cong didn't have nuclear weapons and yet they won a war against America by using their brains. The Afghans sent the soviet union packing and all they had were small arms and determination. Smart things don't make people happy and being poor doesn't make people unhappy as long as everybody is on the same level, the West is full of psychoanalysts and people with a good income and two cars who fly away on holiday twice a year.

Caucasions smarter than Thai.

That is not a valid remark, the genetic difference between all human beings in the world is smaller than the genetic difference in one tribe of chimpanzees (fact). There is only a difference in opportunity.

You forget it's a tropical country, food grows on trees and bushes all year round.

Nobody needs to starve when there is no winter.

No need to develop thinking and planning for the future.

 

You might as well claim monkeys (or fish) are more intelligent than humans as they never work at all.

He said that. Read paragraph 6.

Nothing to worry about there.....well,  except for the asbestos in the roof.   But don't worry if you old like me, we don't have long to go anyway! 

Cement tile, no asbestos in it. I know, because I've put a couple of samples under a polarizing microscope. Identifying asbestos fibres was a small part of the work I did.

50 years ago, I played golf on the Wittenoom golf course. Tee boxes and fill were made out of blue asbestos tailings. I'm still here. A lot of unnecessary hysteria about asbestos.

It's a bit sad to see your university education hasn't helped you, Yinn. I don't blame you, I blame the system.

A good friend of mine once said to me " It doesn't matter how smart you think you are, there is always going to be someone who is smarter than you".

Golden Retriever originally a Scottish breed.

Border collies and Australian cattle dogs are the smartest dogs. IMO Golden Retrievers are at the other end of the spectrum.

If Thais were that smart then surely they would try and make it as difficult as possible for us grumpy Farangs to live here........Oh wait a minute, what I'am I saying!!! 

If they were that smart, they would try and encourage expats to come and live here as we would always contribute to their economy and take many of their families out of poverty, encourage tourism to start a lot more trade for their hotels and restaurants etc.

Come down very hard on any non Thai working without a work permit, starting with a long prison sentence then deportation. etc, etc, etc. No! The Thais are not as smart as some people would think.

They have everything going for them and just don't have the brains to organise it all.

To be fair The OP has not factored in the purblined stupidity of some farang that come to Thailand or their neediness, lack of travel experience,  lack of life experience,  their provincialism etc. You only have to read through TVF comments to see they are no match for uneducated peasant girls thus the resulting hostility,  bitterness,  anger, Thai bashing and racism that inform so many threads.

A thot is something from the mind of a fevered, anti Thai, illiterate ex pat,  usually from Australia harbouring delusions of superiority.

this comment is delusional.

 

a quick search will show you what a thot is and it has nothing to do with being anti thai as you put it.

There are two types of intelligence, maybe more. Logical and emotional intelligence. IMHO Thais have a lot of the latter. One only has to look at the networks they create to see that.

thai are emotionally intelligent.....until they loose face and turn into 5 year old spazz cases.

We don't have delusions of superiority. We know we are. Why else would every other nationality want to go there?

Thailand was 15 years ago a 2nd world country, is right now a 2nd world country and will be for sure in 15 years a 2nd world country. Smart? Other countries in SEA overtook Thailand in the last years and other will overtake Thailand during the next years for sure. Smart?

Who are you nominating? Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia? Vietnam perhaps.

Being a first world country isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ask any Brit.

In 15 years Vietnam will be for sure in front of Thailand. Perhaps Cambodia. Now they are far behind because a lost generation during the Pol Pot time, but when I was there, I was impressed about the people. Everywhere English schools, at every corner, full with young people. Perhaps Myanmar. Growing very quick and if the infrastructure will become better they will take millions of tourists from Thailand, perhaps more. Plus China and India, which are not SEA. 

I don´t mean, that these countries will become 1st world countries, but the GDP will be higher than Thailand.

Smarter? The answer  can only  be undefinable because it is put in the perspective  of comparative  estimation of  superiority.

If the  question  had been  more" inventive", more "progressive", "innovative", "creative" or any other similar it could perhaps invoke a better  debate in consideration.

Smart or  smarter is such an indefinitive measure because in  general definition involves more  about  cunning and deception rather than that mentioned  above.

But in  either case I would express my  personal opinion that in general terms Thai are as intelligent as  any other but  have historically  been denied  the opportunity of adequate education  to demonstrate it.
