Thais only look down on foreigners who are miserable losers. Foreigners with a positive attitude are respected just as people with a positive attitude are respected anywhere else. 

 

All the foreigners I've seen who look down on Thailand are unsuccessful in their work or personal lives, but they're incapable of looking in the mirror and being honest with themselves. 

 

Such people stick around nevertheless. They should go home, but they know they'd be even worse off if they did so.

 

Why do you keep telling people they need to go home? Can’t take a little honest criticism of your country? As far as I’m concerned, this sentence of yours says all I need to know about your attitude towards foreigners:

“Thais only look down on foreigners who are miserable losers.”

Oh dear. The truth hurts you. Thailand reflects the temperament of the observer, so brighten up and you'll find that Thailand brightens up too. Smile, and the world will smile back at you.

Wouldn’t happen if Pita was PM. He was a little smarter.

If you have not seen them you are blind. They formerly had a policy of avoiding countries that were undemocratic, Cobra Gold got cancelled once for that reason. Anyhow topic is not about the USA

Thailand did voted in favor of UN Resolution to condemn Russia invasion of Ukraine. Very clear lines being drawn. 

Although they seem very pro-Russian internally. I wonder if it is a type of oriental mindset to avoid taking sides.

Putin is considerred a waqr criminal by lots of countries, but Thailand seems to

be in a forgetful spell.  Hey Bill S. if you are a citizen of the world, try a visit into North Korea and 

a few other wonderful countries like Libya, Afghanestan, or such, they all could use a few more tourists, don't

you think?  Just my suggestion.

Oooo. The US once cancelled Cobra Gold because Thailand didn't kow tow. That'll show 'em, eh?

 

The fact remains that Thailand maintains friendly relations with countries of its choosing, while minding its own business and not starting wars all over the world. Your insulting Thailand, while lauding the west for imaginary moral standards, is groundless and just plain daft.

Its very obvious you do not know that thailand is in a continuing war at present, and is continuing to supress  human rights

Thailand should hang its head in shame for its human rights violations and you have the gaul to talk about moral standards shame on you

 

sorry for going off topic

Your comments are simply another side of the coin..... the USA has condemned Russia for attacking another country in Europe, killing its civilians, and also Hamas who attacked bloodily, innocent civilians over the border. Thailand has opened it's arms and put down red carpets for the perpetrators of these bullying and war mongering actions. If you find that commendable. Your stance is that of a fool.

Because Putin is an international criminal, murderer and destroyer... Not only outside of his country, but mostly inside as well... 

Isn't that what the other side in a war always say about the other side?

Thais are amongst the smartest most peaceful nations on earth.

One of the few countries who were not invaded and colonised by the brutal selfish Europeans.

 

It is better to friendly with everyone rather than fight them. They dont get involved in the other nations stupid wars. Ukraine has nothing to do with them. And the stupid religious war in Israel and Palestine with children being slaughtered over a stupid fight basically about the invsible bearded guy in the sky.

 

The tactics they displayed during WW2 are a perfect example why the clever Thais always win.

The French had been a problem trying to take more and more land in on Thailands eastern borders. WW2 broke out and the Thais did a deal with the Japanese to go and get that land back for them which they did. Then when the Japs looked like loing they quickly changed sides and won the war with the allies and keeping their extra land.

 

Every Songkran the kids and young adults fine tune their war games.

 

The Thais act in the best interest for Thailand and the Thai people. I wish my country would do the same instead of just following blindly the USA war machine.

If the farang war flares up to be WW3 with the stupid Americans and Russians the clever Thai PM is setting Thailand up to not be attacked as thailand is friends with everyone.

 

Very clever people the Thais.

 

I don’t think I have seen a post that is as filled with as much nonsense as this one is on this forum, and that is quite an achievement.

 

Well done sir.

You can criticize the leaders in the West.

Can’t do that in Russia, China or even Thailand.

You don't get , and stay at that level of the game without carrying sharp knives.

 

But as it concerns this thread of conversation, I was responding to a post that made the assertion that Srettha was not neutral because he was meeting with Putin. 

and my response was to the affect, that the opposite was true. You are not neutral If you only meet with one side.

I made no value judgments , I simply made a factual statement.

I was actually very surprised by the reaction. It was those who reacted that made value judgments, or implied that Srettha should had made a value judgment and not meet with Putin. But if he had made that judgment then he would had not been neutral in fact he would had been partial.  

There is an argument that Srettha should had been partial, and had picked a side but that's a different argument.

  As the world is changing form a Unipolar world buck to a Bipolar world and maybe a Multipolar world, all these great powers are jockeying to carve spheres of influence, countries such as Thailand , Australia etc have to play a fine balancing act to see how things play out. There are many experts that predict there will be a war between China and the US in 2027, google it. 

That is three years from now!! never mind  TMAs and foreign income taxations. If the above is true, How is that going to affect us?

I think some of it makes a lot of sense, Switzerland always remains neutral as did Sweden in ww2.

not quite correct

those states that managed to stay out of the war, such as Sweden and Switzerland, found their ability to maintain strict neutrality hampered by the intensity of the conflict,  The result, is “they played a somewhat ambiguous—and still controversial—role in the war.”

A seminal 1998 U.S. State Department report helped dispel the myth that there was any standard form of neutrality, citing that the neutral countries continued trading with the Allied and Axis forces, sent troops to offer military assistance, and allowed one side or the other access to its territory.

I can't believe the Thai PMs staff have not told him that there's an international warrant out for Putin's arrest. And Thailand is a signatory to the international court which issued the warrant.

 

 

Maybe it’s a sting operation 

imagine if Thailand helped to capture Putin
