flyDelight Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Funny how Thais think they invented everything...but most are brought in from overseas by the chinese .... eg. Thai Chicken Rice, local Thais think Thailand invented it. Same goes for many other Thai dishes Did the Thais actually invent SOMETHING? I can't name anything that was invented by Thais. Are food, massage and dance inventions? All I can think are some rediculous, false sounding music instruments that didn't make it anywhere outside the country because they are more cultural farts from the past.

GAZZPA Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Copyright infringement? So Thailand actually has copyright on the plastic bags used at markets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Bull was inspired by Lipovitan, a japanese energy drink that was created a decade or so before it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaDeLuxe Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I stand corrected! Thank you, Mike324, I actually thought Lipovitan was a Thai invention too as I first noticed it in Thailand some 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyDelight Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Copyright infringement? So Thailand actually has copyright on the plastic bags used at markets? Yes kind of, while the use of plastic shopping bags is finally being banned worldwide incl. in some large cities in India and a few African countries like Rwanda, Thailands plastic bag lobby is so damned succesful that the biggest Thai producer is doing an IPO...

flyDelight Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thai, I've seen lots of these bags in China. Correct, these colorful bags are made in China for the worldwide market from Thailand to Mexico. If somewhere is a copyright on these bags it's in China and not Thailand because it's an import product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Est cola. 2 great Thai original drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
