Indeed a voice of reason !
If at the outset of the proposal the numbers were put up front, time and resources need not have been waste destroying a proposition from which Thailand's economy would benefit for years to come. Those numbers are:
- Thai land mass is 3,200,000,000 rai.
- Number of foreigners in Thailand is 3,600,000 (presumably, excluding tourists).
If each foreigner bought 1 Rai, they would be, collectively, claiming ownership of 3,600,000 rai or to put it another way,
- 0.0001125% of Thai land mass.
What would be interesting to know is:
- amount of land controlled by the government, its ministries and departments
- amount of land owned by corporations (indigenous and foreign)
- amount of land owned by the 1%
- amount of land owned by the other 99%
