If Thailand has any prosperity at all and is in fairly good shape in any rankings, it is because of the farmers produce the exported food and the sons and daughters of those farmers who man the tourist industry’s hotels, restaurants and bars, not because of this, or any other government for the past two generations. And you can include in that group all of the wannabe industrialists of Thailand who are working hard at trying to destroy Thailand’s ecosystem and beauty and kill its main sources of income.
Life is very simple. There are the producers and the parasites that live off of them. Thailand is just a microcosm of the world in general. The only inconsistency is that in Thailand, the parasites write letters to the news services trying to convince everyone that what goes on in Government House is the reason for whatever success Thailand has had.
