Now this is a country Thailand should be closer with. Pick your friends Thailand as not all are good.

Just out of interest, and not wishing to upset the 'racist' mob, has Thai official ever been insensitive and organised a trip to the Kwai bridge for any officials visiting from Japan ?

With rising production costs and an unstable government many Japanese companies are pulling out of Thailand... favouring the re-building of Myanmar being a future plan.

Lower costs and a sustainable workforce.
