Thailand has done everything in it's power, and continues to do everything it can, to obstruct ASEAN. It signs treaties, and then ignores nearly every aspect of free trade, lowering duty tariffs, making the process of hiring foreign workers from other ASEAN nations simpler, and more efficient, and less expensive. There are countless examples of this, over the years. It seems someone, somewhere might have good intentions, when the treaty is signed, but then the lobbyists start paying off the parliamentarians and it all goes away.

Only exception: Use of foreign vehicles on Thailand's roads.
