Why splitting up Thailand wouldn't work

Letter to The Nation

Re: How about a two-state solution for Thailand? Letters, July 14.

Horst Bullinger says Thailand should be divided into two nations: the North and Northeast on one side (for Thaksin Shinawatra to rule); and the rest as a second country. I don't think Mr Bullinger knows enough of Thailand's geopolitics to suggest that.

Bangkok is a seaport city. It has been a major source of income for Thailand for more than 300 years. It is said that about three-fourths of tax money in Thailand comes from Bangkok and the surrounding provinces.

The North and Northeast are a landlocked country. If separated from Bangkok, the new country will be reduced in terms of economic development on the same line with Laos and Cambodia. More importantly, it will be the most populous country with the least source of income to feed itself, let alone prosper.

I don't think Thaksin would be interested in ruling this "Isaan" country.

Chanvalit Van why are you dragging Lao and Cambodia to your problem. You are not that better than Lao and Cambodia. Your political situation structure just mainly suck! Beside Bangkok, there is nothing much in term of economic development. Average in come less than $10 US. That is nothing to brag about!

What type of careers do you people work in? Cause these response you post are so lame and uneducated. Cambodia Exchange will expect to raise capital from foreign or domestic investors with proper respect to legal environment to appropriate the values and trusts. In which case the level of environment in CAMBODIA's Government is not suit to harvest such capitalism.

Thus, CAMBODIA IS JUST ANOTHER COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OPERATING UNDER THE SKIN OF DEMOCRATIC STATUES. PLEASE TELL HUN SEN HE OWE ME MONEY. WHOLE FAMILY IN FACT. PHAY SHITPAN, TOO. So shut up about being arrogant.

TRUE CAPITALISM COME FROM PROPER GOVERNMENT THAT VALUES AND GAIN TRUST FROM THEIR RESPECTED CITIZEN WITH VIRTUES. CAMBODIA = CORRUPTION, FRAUD, INCONSISTENT VALUATION INCOME WISE. TOO MUCH COPYRIGHT CONCERNS.

CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT HELP THEIR CORRUPTED CAPITAL SYSTEM TO PRODUCE LOSSES FOR AMERICAN COMPANIES BY NOT RESPECTING AMERICAN COMPANIES COPYRIGHTS.

I SEE T-SHIRTS being produce without copyright from AMERICAN COMPANIES.

DVDs production without proper copyrights.

WALT DISNEY logos without their copyright.

SO MUCH DISRESPECT from CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT yet they whine about raising capital.

HOW MUCH FAKE STOCKS will be issues from, HUN MANET's DESK?


BY THE WAY DID YOU KNOW????
