January 24, 201412 yr Hilarious!!! In the midst of economic suicide and widespread cultural unawareness and unacceptance for the rest of the world, Thailand wants to compete with China and Singapore? Another example of the ethnocentric fantasies that seem to propogate so easily in this country. It must have been part of the plot in last night's newest Thai drama...Seems to be where most of their perceptions stem from. I thought my country had a dangerous level of proud ignorance but Thailand makes me grateful for my countrymen and where I come from...this is too funny.
