Where did I mention democracy in that quote? Are you saying the Thai government doesn't have a huge bureaucracy?

Nothing seems to be thought through, resulting in further problems. Nothing exclusive to Thais in that. I'd say that it is something that applies to many people on the planet, whatever their ethnicity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A country that allows small children to ride to and from school on motorcycles, untrained, un-licensed and without head protection.

Are you talking about the insanity of health and safety in western countries? Old people can't afford to get their roof fixed because H & S mandates scaffolding to go on a roof and it's too expensive. How about people taking responsibility for their own actions? Can stick the nanny state where the sun don't shine, IMO. Heaps of dumb people where I live and not a single Thai among them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
