These comments would tend to come from two kinds of Thai people.  

1) the moneyed, English-speaking, partially foreign educated Thais who MUST refuse to believe that Thailand is still in the dark ages so that they can justify their position in what they want to believe is a modern, fair, competitive and open society.  They certainly do live in a Thailand completely different form most of the other population.

2) the terribly educated but deeply nationalistic Somchai who probably can't tell you one important recent event about any country outside of Thailand that doesn't involve consumerism.  This Somchai is very deeply proud of most anything Thai and seems to find it very difficult to find anything in the Kingdom to criticize.


Extremely well put. We see these two attitudes each and every day.

"ultra-high-net worth person"  -- you couldn't make it up.

How about "very rich man"? Too old-fashioned?

Had the gentleman been from Germany he would have referred to as ""uber-high-net worth person."

The real joke is what Thailand considers a luxury car. The Acura TL I had in the US is a LUXURY CAR here. The Madza 3 I bought here cost MORE than my US Acura - now that's luxury.

Wine is considered a luxury (thanks a lot Singha), common sense as well.
