geoman1976 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) 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.

Pib Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Will foreign companies have to get a work permit before they can offer the IPO? Seems Thailand wants a work permit for everything else like opening bank accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
