Funny, just a few days ago we learnt that "Thailand Ranks Ninth in the World for Country Most Open for Business". Wonder, how that fits in with 64th rank in the Economic Freedom Index.

Yup...free to do and think whatever they're programmed to. Not sure there's an independent or outside the Thai box thought in the entire country.
