Have you been to places like Japan and China, where they're serious about teensy minicars and actually BUY them instead of just manufacture them? These microcars are like the Diahatsu Mira Mint, which appears to have fallen out of favor just before it started to become vaguely popular. Thai's don't buy teensy cars. Have you noticed matayom students now that are six feet tall? You can't even put Pornporn in the back seat anymore; she doesn't fit.
The Detroit of Asia? Thailand doesn't even have facilities to test parts - the Japanese technicians do that in Japan with Japanese instruments. Thailand doesn't produce high tech; it produces cheap labor, taught to regurgitate one-syllable answers in rote in classes of 50 in classrooms where the fans are noisy and the chalkboard is cracked. But Thailand has no monopoly on cheap labor; look at China. Look at Indonesia, India, etc.
Every Ministry apparently has to come up with an idea of the month, like the Minister of Education's announcement to have 10,000 farang teachers in Thailand, rotating every 90 days, hopefully before the teachers are involved in unplanned pregnancies.
