Bob, I could hardly agree more. I am starting to feel that with some posters I am reading the foreign language press!

I also agree with your later comments - interestingly the only improvements in education in recent years also came courtesy of Thaksin, namely compulsory education raised to age 15 (from 12) and cheap student loans for those wanting to go on to college. If only Thaksin had not been so insufferably and unnecessarily greedy he would have been a genuinely great leader.

And, Davey, I hate to nit-pick but the point has been made several times before: Thailand is a Newly Industrialised Country, not a Developing one.

Oh, and Brad, thanks for the article.
