Do you consider yourself smarter than the average Thai?
....I don't think we do. Very few Thais manage to 'make it ' in the west, yet many farangs manage to make it in Asia. Why? it's because Thais only know Thailand and the thai way of doing things. Their peripheral view is severely limited when it comes to globalism. regards, bob. -

Is Earth round or flat ?
Your patience is much appreciated, Richard, as is your willingness to occasionally stoop to these abyssal depths of mundanity. Regarding refraction, my uneducated mind doesn't understand how it works with the picture posted above. The refraction phenomenon only works with objects which are already in line of sight, as explained here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/mirage-optical-illusion The phenomenon called "Fata Morgana", for example, causes a superior mirage to be visible in a narrow band above the horizon, caused by a misinterpretation of what really is a "false horizon": the surface of the water takes on the color of the sky because of lighting, the position of clouds and the stillness of the water surface. But the sine qua non is that the object has to be visible to begin with. In the above picture of Chicago, the buildings are 50 miles away. According to the well-established formula recalled by Mike, over a distance of 10 miles (16.1 km), the drop is about 66.7 feet (20.3 m). So over a distance of 50 miles, that’s a drop of over 100 m, the buildings should not be visible at all. Refraction does not cause hidden objects to appear. -

It depends upon how long a Thai person is willing to wait for a surgical schedule opening.
