Thailand has never been conquered, never been at any major war within the last 200 years, never been colonised, never been divided, never had any major natural disaster in the last 200 years (prior to the Bangkok Earthquake 2025)--and yet it's people remain among the most impoverished in the world, constantly comparing themselves to Vietnam and Cambodia, war-torn countries that have once been colonised and divided.Considering all that: What justifiable excuse does Thailand have for being so poor? All as your multi-billionaire king sentences impoverished farmers to prison for insulting his dog.Tl;Dr despite almost no war, disaster and excellent luck, Thailand couldn't do in 200 years what a war-torn Japan did in 20. Why is that?
>>535210030Education, Thailand was one of the asian tigers in the past but they didn’t invest in education unlike what Singapore did because the retarded elite class were afraid they’d revolt against themHere’s a good video telling why Thailand ended up in this situation, the worst middle income traphttps://youtu.be/JBJEi6K5xT8?si=zfFal4F3RM1dUTRONow the dumbass elites are just going to sell the nation to China instead
Thailand was conquered by Burma. Remember Ayutthaya and Sukothai?
>>535210559We are the new Asian tiger. We learned from your mistakes. 7% growth, transitioning from manufacturing to higher skill sectors, most educated under 20s in Asia, perfect population pyramid.In 10-20 years we will be like Japan or Taiwan
>>535210030>never had any major natural disaster in the last 200 yearsThe Tsunami... it's also a national tragedy in Finland. It was the event with most dead Finnish people outside a war.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_the_2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_on_Finland
>>535210559>Now the dumbass elites are just going to sell the nation to China insteadDude, you are Indosphere and you can't resist China? Same as Cambodia with their damn canal.Vietnam is the only in ASEAN putting up a fucking fight. Us and the Philippines.
>>535211280>In 10-20 years we will still be china’s bitch
>>535210030Thailand got hit by the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami. That qualifies as a major natural disaster.
>>535210030Muay thai is cool
>>535211439>we will still be China's bitchHow are we China's bitch? USA is more China's bitch. They own your debt. Vietnam is the most China independent country in ASEAN by far. We are more friendly with Taiwan than USA lol America is afraid to support DPP
>>535210030Today thailand is a land of ladyboys, it fits them well.More of them should become ladyboys and start to invest in eugenics to breed better ladyboys
>>535211387Tried many times but it all failshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Thai_protestsLast attempt was 2021 but ultimately the old boomers are too retarded and any politician who wants to develop the nation is elected the military says they’re a threat to the country and can coup and dissolve the partyPeople just gave up ultimately and just live their life in limbo the voter turnout for last election was only 69% and low birth rates are just their way of saying they’re want the country to die and the elites won’t have a nation to rule over anyways in the next 50-60 years so that’ll be funny

>>535210030>never been colonisedGaijin-san, when was the first time you have visited Siam?Mine was 2007. Chiang Mai looks waaaay different now...I literally got culture shock from being around so many Amerixans....
Uhhh it's not white? There is no actual country that isn't white aside from maybe Japan.
Shantytowns are important. Those people are not poor, they can take their little boat and catch fish and trade the fish for things that need for the day and also have dinner.
>>535211819Yeah because Hong Kong failed now ASEAN is the last stand.
>>535210559I genuinely believe the education argument is positivist cope. No amount of education can fix Brazil and the same goes for you.
