Thailand to use Japan’s Kansai model as blueprint to develop EEC

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has advised policy makers to use Japan's Kansai model as the country's blueprint to develop the country’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), Mr Kobsak Pooyrakool, the assistant minister attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, revealed yesterday.

 

He said the advice was given as the cabinet met yesterday to discuss the EEC project to boost economy.

 

He said the prime minister stated that Kansai model has several similarities to the country’s EEC project.

 

Therefore the Japanese model could be adapted to fit Thailand’s needs adequately.

 

Mr Kobsak said under the Kansai model Japan focused on developing Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe into the center for trade.

What! Following a foreign country's ways? Impossible, because Mr PM knows it all..

Sure, like Greece (65 years too late) believing it can emulate the industrial/economic dynamism of Germany by reading the "handbuch", and somehow self-manifesting (with "adaptations") the German "geist".

 

Just say it and it's true.

YAHOO!  Thailand is going to be just like Japan.

 

Without the education. Or high tech.

Or centuries of a completely different culture.

 

Remember Japan fought the United States 76 years ago on the high seas. Both sides had aircraft carriers.

 

What was Thailand going around that time?

The entire Thai mindset is  ferked, economic  powerhouse?....................youll have to wake them up from the fact they are not even 3rd but  4th rate.

Hard  work and education is the only way forward for the Thais but thats the opposite of what theyve  got, uneducated and bone idle in many cases

It is common for TV readers to react sarcastically to such news reports, but today is an extreme case. One readers talk about aircraft carriers 70 years ago. Another speaks of a 3rd or 4th rate country. Still another compare Thailand to Germany. These readers resemble piglets who enjoy rolling in the mud. I wonder how they get through the day. Spending time on TV bashing Thailand?

Have you ever been in the Kansai region? Both Tokyo and Kansai are developped to near perfection.

Don't be too hard on the PM in this instance.  It is a common Thai cultural thing, a "Thai-ism, if you like.  Certainly not his exclusive mantra.  Listen to any jingo-istic Thai that believes Thailand invented powered flight, the www or an ebola vaccine or any other unlikely thing they hear and parrot .  Just you wait till Thai replaces English as the world's universal language, then you will be sorry.

Discounting Somchai san, I hope.

Most things in Japan work well, does that mean the pm is going to employ Japanese to make it work here, like he said he was going to do with the WB, if so there is a chance it may work, if not > well lets wait and see
