Brilliant strategy......they'll be queuing at immigration to be a part of it all...........!

In the meantime, the chinese will have already stitched up all the major infrastructure projects.

Please come and invest here but please don't read the fine print about how much say you will have.

It is to be hoped that no country who believes in human rights will invest one Satang in Thailand until there is a return to democracy.
