I don't know where you get your incorrect information from.
But my information is certified by Thai government, from Thai school.
All Thai student must be able to recite what I have said. So it must be a fact. The true fact.
Reading this post is indicating to me this poster isn't really an over the top Thai nationalist, but rather posting satire or taking the piss. Well done! But I think you're busted now so you can stop the act.

But it's been obvious since his original posts that he is a "windup merchant" - and why not on such a pompous self-opinionated and need I say it - racist forum

Thai and Thailand have no fear.
We are number 1 in ASEAN.
Number 2 in ASIA, after Japan.

We have plenty of rice in our field, and much fish in our water.
And above all, we have a great king, to much envy of all other countires in the whole universe.

Not sure if this is serious or supposed to be a joke...

But in any case, you forgot a few Asian countries, with (much) stronger economies:

Singapore
Hong Kong
Taiwan
South Korea
Malaysia
Israel
Turkey
Saudi Arabia
Oman
Bahrain
Kuwait
Qatar
Brunei
United Arab Emirates

and even Iran, Lebanon, Khazakstan and Azerbaijan have a higher GDP PPP per capita.

On the other hand, the Thai GDP PPP is still higher than that of China, but at the current rate of growth of the Chinese economy, this will change within 3-4 years.

Glad to see them using the name Burma. I like that better than Myanmar.
