FORTH, you talked about Thai people liking talking behind each other back. Well, I think that the Thai society that you have encountered so far is not being good or being a bad influenced society then. Personally, the society that I am in, people hate talking behind their backs. We hate gossiping. Please do not stereotype negatively Thai people from what you have seen!

[TheBashar99]

Sorry you didn't like the stereotyping. It was an honest personal observation of something I don't particulalry care for.

Honestly though, the Thais I have known have all been very honest in admitting that particular aspect is a strong charachteristic of their culture. One Thai friend even nicknamed it "TT" for Thai-Talk. I didn't come up with that.

FIRST, this is NOT the 18th coup we have in Thai history ok? This current coup is the 9th one since 1932 and in 1932 it was when we changed the system from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy. Did you really study Thai history before commenting on one of our histories? I DEEPLY regret about that.

[TheBashar99]

Sorry for the deep regret, but I guess we're studying different histories. I have found many references to this being the 18th. I'd link to 10 or 20 if YouTube didn't make post URLs so darn difficult.

You seem like a very nice young man if a bit naive

I agree with you when you said people could go out and have a non-violent protests. I think sometimes Thai people don't know how to express or represent themselves. When I was a kid I was thought to be passive and not to argue, other kids were taught the same way. I used to tell my mom I want to work for the thai government, I want to be involved. She would say many things to oppose me. Another thing..poor people who like Thaksin are very underrepresented. I guess whoever has more power wins.

Now, Thailand is back to so called "Democracy". You know. .but I do not know if it's the best interest of the Thai. ha ha ha ha.. But I guess that how the world is going right now, so Thailand must go the same way. I just want to say ... See.. each country has its own way.. a little bit different.

Thanks for what you have done for thais.

I'm the one who agree with you.

I hope we will have a real democracy soon.

[ticlodge]

God bless you.

I love Mr.Thaksin, He is the best guy ,I agree whatever you said it's true and thank you so much for your thought about Thailand.

Hello friend,

I'm so proud to learn that there's someone like you who have true understanding of Thailand and Thai people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for defending Thailand's image by expressing the facts of Thailand via youtube so others will have better understanding about us. All the best,

Miss N.

Hi TheBashar99, First of all I would like to say thank you for your clip concerning about Thailand. With my respect to you comments, I understand your points which you have tried to come up from several aspects and I agree with you. Actually Thailand has tried to do like you said. Before Thaksin became to be PM we hoped that Thailand democracy would go very well. However, there have been many problems particularly caused by Thaksin himself.

You are right breaks0,sadly Vietnam even though it is a fine country with a lot of good people wanting to do the right thing has i`m afraid fell in line with capitalism,but i still think it is better off than Thailand with the monarchy in place.Though i should say the King is loved and no doubt loves his people and is doing his duty to them.
