    It would be exactly the same list.

    Or did I miss your joke?

    ---Update---

    You can’t make a Thai person learn, you have to make it fun or they won’t do it, they prefer to do things that are easy.
    You can't MAKE anyone learn. That's day 1 of a B.Ed degree.

    Or day 5 of owning a cat.

    Many of the traits are true as generalizations, but that is all they are - generalizations. I would like to balance out the negativity with a list of the 41 positive traits such as the random acts of kindness, the innate ability to smile through the difficult, the sense of juex de vie etc. In every negative there is a balance of positive. Basically, every culture has its positive and negative traits, this list provided is only one side.

    So the Thai that wrote it is just taking the piss out of his own people then ...

    Anything's possible I guess.

    Because of the very nature of Thais. Fiercely Nationalistic and write all criticisms off as "You no unnerstan" They can do no wrong etc. A Thai would have to step out of the circle and look in to write an honest viewpoint like that.

    The writer is a patronising idiot. I wonder how much time he really spent in Thailand or was he another from a rich background who bought his degree, studied abroad and is now trying to make a name for himself. If he wants to be honest lets find out how he really learnt his journalistic skills.

    The Thai author wrote it in Thai ... on a Thai website. What on Earth are you on about?
