What are you on about? Thailand far right? What? How the hell did you come up with that? It would be tough to call it far right or left etc.. the policies are mixed. Thailand is what it is.

 

Thailand has so many things that far-righties dream about and almost nothing they complain about.

Also, nationalism, traditionalism, conservatism.

I read it. So any country that does not have open borders is far-right wing?

Thailand has more far-right elements than that. Add nationalism, traditionalism, conservatism...

Are nationalism, traditionalism and conservatism bad?

Centre right is where I would place this government.

 

The Junta a tad further right.

 

 

There are many things (certainly not all) in Thailand that I wish my own country would adopt.

 

 

Let's start with immigration.

I do, however I understand that even after 10-15-20 years in Thailand I won't get residency, let alone citizenship

Every Thai citizen can walk into a Government Hospital and get health care. ( right wingers usually call this socialism, but it is not)

 

Also, forgot to mention. No pensions for the general Thai population, only for the civil servants. So far-right.

The far-right would not be giving civil servants pensions, they’d just get the sams social security as everyone else.

Why not? Far-right is government and state centered. So if you work for the government, you deserve pension. If not, you're on your own.

Because of the restrictive laws

No, that would be the left. You seem confused.

Which “restrictive laws” in particular?

No, the left is pensions for everyone. The right is only for the chosen ones.

You would of course have a link or some evidence to support this claim? 

 

 

It's next to the OP's link with evidence to support that Thialand is far right.

Again, I think you are confused.

Thus, the left is for unsustainable budgets. .

I am not, but there is a lot of confusion out there for sure. People like to call each other left/right without really understanding the meaning of it

China is communist, at least ideologically, which is clearly left
