...rule of law => Okay to that
...business transparency => I am not sure this helps. Business transparency will help foreigners to get rich in Thailand, yes. Will it help the Thai?
...streets that don't smell of sewers => Detail
...half decent education system => again, does Thailand need this? Do you want your 7-11 staff to have bachelor degrees like over here in Europe? Many people are as educated as they can be, yet unhappy.
...taxis that always put their meters on => I don't see how that helps. Are you afraid of a little negociation here and there? Are you too timid to negociate? Fact is, that many westerners became so "softened" that they don't dare to negociate a price anymore. I think liberty to set prices freely is a good thing, even if it means that sometimes one overpays. Hell, in Europe, taxi drivers dictate ridiculous prices and there is nothing one can do against it!!
...honest police force => this means paying high salaries to police and everybody else too.
...a multi-cultural society that works => I think the Thai's don't want a "multi-cultural society". they want a Thai society.
....and gg's and lb's from every asian country last night in Orchard Towers --> except from Singapore, right? kinda proves my point.
