... & then they act surprised when a tiny number of foreigners act out in frustration at the constant scams & racism on the odd occasion then propagandize using such odd occasions to further justify underhanded treatment..! :/
Imagine what a paradise it would be without all of the wasteful corruption destroying efficiency & development...
Age doesn't always denote wisdom. There's a balance between being too cynical & wearing rose colored glasses as both are misguided. There's good & bad, so just roll with it.
It should be pretty obvious that the majority of natives in the region have a low IQ. I could see that easily in my first day here. The evidence is everywhere.
Yes, IQ testing measures certain types of intelligence. It is accurate in what it measures.
I know a number of professional Thais who are very competent who acknowledge this difficult issue for the country.
From what I've seen, a lot of the ruling class of Thais look down on the rest of their citizens & use general low IQ as a justification for nepotism, corruption, etc... which really holds the country back as obviously not all poor or middle class Thais have low IQ, & not all ruling class Thais have high IQ.
