Oh really what about the Rohinga crisis any comments from Myanmar officials ? Killing , torching villages after villages and raping girls , killing babies and killing inncocent civilians!!! Making them to cross border and seek asylum to Bangladesh everyday and the brutality is to the extend beyond words. BBC made a recent documentary  with live footage it's un believable how cruel and ruthless these Myanmar people are towards the minorities.

It appears Thais have a deep rooted contempt for Burmese.  I've seen it manifested.  Maybe has something to do with losing both wars against the Burmese, and having a sacred white elephant hauled off from Siam by the victors.
