@@BMWE90HQ that's true. Most foreign investors who invests in Thailand probably understand by now, that even though there're regular coup, every decade or so, but the Military never interfere with Businesses, they only care about their own power and the Monarch. Myanmar's junta on the other hand is as oppressive as they come. As we can see. The country's on complete shut-down as they continue to mass deleting their own people.
As a Burmese citizen living in Thailand for quite a few months here, a bit shout out to the loving, kindness and understanding that show by the Thai People on us Myanmar people. I have some conversations with Thai people from different walks of life and I can feel their empathy that we're sufferings. I thank to the Thai People for helping us out and making us to feel like home away from home for us. I do apologize for some manners that our fellow countrymen have done in your home. I really hope to live in peace and harmony with love and understandings. Peace out and Khob khun krap!
@@channyein8355 Yeah, bro! We must appreciate their understandings and kindness at all cost. IMO, I do think that we also should raise to have some awareness why we're here so that the locals can have clearer understandings of our sufferrings. At the same time, we need to tell our fellow countrymen to respect the local customs, traditions and the laws here as we are the only visitors here.
I m Thai and we think the Burmese are our good friends. Most people I know and have worked with are honest, gentle and kind at heart. Most importantly, our two countries share the same values, the Buddhism!
I am Thai. My country has its share of problems, the biggest of which is rampant corruption. I am very, very frustrated by this. But my heart aches for the people of Myanmar. They have been subjected to so much for so long and still there's no end in sight.
Yep. Corruption is a ripe old problem to solve. It's so intertwined with our culture that it's almost impossible to get rid off. Like the thing that made our country so nice to live in, is also the reason why corruption is so rampant. บางทีมารยาทคือศัตรูของความชอบธรรม
As a "Farang" I really love Thailand. Live and let live views, great culture, amazing food and just a general sense of kindness. It's a nation with some of the richest culture to ever grace this beautiful world and it's a treasure to humanity. I hope the Thai people know how much we love them for basically everything. In a lot of ways, Thailand has more freedom than countries that love to claim they're free like the United States.
@@joaopedrobaggio4475 Yep and we ( People defense Forces and EROS )already been control around 100 cities and towns among 330 cities and towns of Our country.
I was a paid teacher and also volunteer (free) teacher for many years at schools in Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw, as well as in poor monastery schools and orphanages. 2 years ago the military junta kicked me out! Now I wait impatiently in Thailand for the day that I can return to help educate the beautiful Myanmar people.
As a Myanmar who had to move out to Thailand for many reasons, I am really grateful for being here and Thai people are very warm towards us. since we have not so different culture and foods, it really makes us feel like a second home in here. If only one day we have a chance to go back to our home ...
Cambodia resurrected the dynasty and monarchy after UN reorganized the country following 4 political parties peace accord and election. Having the monarchy doesn't signify the similar history.
it almost got colonised. The French were ready to bombard the major trade ports and route since they had guns and cannons. During that time the west had very strong navy. Luckily one of the thai kings paid (red bag) them with gold, silver, gemstone and precious resources not to attack. Basically, they were like pirates and gangsters. Unfortunately for other south east asian countries they were not as wealthy as siam . Therefore, they were colonised and luckily Thais were very close allied with the Chinese and russia empire.
The other big flaw with Myanmar is it's a military state. It's why they moved their capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw. Both to provide palaces for their biggest military leaders and to isolate themselves from larger population centers to avoid the disgruntled masses who could revolt. That cost em a ton of money, too, and none of it went to lifting the people out of poverty or making their institutions and economy more productive. Smart countries know that the best investment is in the workers; the lifeblood of a nation.
You could also say some parts apply to Bangkok and it's predecessor Ayutthaya as both were chosen to be built in the center of the country so as to monitor the country's territory better inside-out, especially after the conquest of Isaan, the North-Eastern states. But due to there being a stable figure, namely the monarchy, the military didn't go rampant (and also both agreed to a symbiotic relationship) and the country began developing once the Western powers arrived at the country's doorsteps, due to fear of being colonised. Myanmar's "stable figure" was assassinated upon signing indépendance papers from the British. Rumours says it was from a extremist group originating from the military so no symbiotic relationship there. Both Thailand and Myanmar is a export-heavy economy but Thailand has used its decades of experience and headstart to improve its infrastructure so as to be attractive to expats. Unsure when or if Myanmar will ever achieve this in the near/immediate future but it'll be interesting to see.
"Smart countries know that the best investment is in the workers; the lifeblood of a nation." I can think of a country where this is glaring apparent in needing to do so. hints: its in ASEAN, its an archipelago its currently ranked #13 in population.
I'm sorry to hear what's going on in Myanmar ... I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out. 😔 I visited Burma a few years ago as a tourist. It's a beautiful country with wonderful, welcoming people. I wish they could have peace. ☮ ☮ ☮ ✌✌✌
No doubt, Myanmar is a beautiful wonderful country and Myanmar people are awesome. I too hope Myanmar manages to sort things out. I wish them peace and prosperity! ✌
"Yes, indeed, Myanmar is truly a peaceful and safe country. The Burmese people are kind-hearted, deeply influenced by Buddhism, even more so than in Thailand. As a Thai and a neighbor, I also hope for peace in Myanmar soon. We want to grow together."

I have lived and worked in Thailand for 23 years. I was trained as a research chemist and worked on electronics manufacture of hard drives. Great country.
I am an American living in Ubon, Thailand which is in the North East region. I can say this, everyone is welcomed with open arms. To my fellow Americans and those in the west. Thailand is abundance for farang (foreigners) to come in whether for business, or travel vacation. It is unfortunate what has happened to Myanmar, but as far as Thailand goes. It is squeezed in with the military ruled former Burma in the west and communist take over in both Cambodia and Laos. And still maintained over the decades to not fall for either. Yes there has been several uprisings over the time I have been here but it is minor compared to these other nations surrounding Thailand.
Tell me when & where Laos 🇱🇦 push Communist ideals type in Thai? Please, bullshit Laos is communist but they’re not go to Thai & force Thai must follow their policies systems!! So why you act like Laos go to Thai & use weapon & force Thai should become part of Communist?? And if you mean border conflict & some border wars between Thai & Laos. Tell me which country don’t have some problems with their neighbor country?? (Might big problem or small conflict problems, but still mean they have problems with neighbors country) Even US have border problems with MExico & Canada over some island, gulf. Just not really bad situation & make a wars but still considers arguments/conflict.
@@HauTran-sunfromsouth Germany has no problems with Denmark , Denmark has no problems with Sweden, Sweden has no problem with Norway, Norway has no problem with Finland and that has been like that since WW2 Denmark had a littel problem with Canada, there is a littel island between Canada and Greenland (Danish) called Hans island, go look at Google and see how the problem was solved- That's how to do things when there is problems about a border
Geographically Myanmar has Ancient City in the middle of desert, Snowy Himalayan Mountains, untouched Achipelagos and Islands, even tropical Jungles. It would have been one of the best tourism hotspots like Thailand if not for the political situation. Even Burmese like me cannot visit those places in the border because the civil war going on for more than 60 years.
I'm from Thailand and I completely agree. Myanmar has so many stunning islands that are just waiting to be discovered. And the snowy mountains! Most people associate SEA as a tropical paradise, but there's so much more. I'm sure places like Phuket (or Thailand in general) would be less crowded if Myanmar's tourism was as developed as ours. I really hope things improve there so tourists have more options since it's only getting more crowded here. Hugs 🫂
I live In Maesot and heard that Myanmar has such a beautiful beach 🏖️ I really want to visit there because it’s so close to my home but I have to go to Hua Hin , Phuket instead because of the war in Myanmar right now. I am so sad and hope that the situation will be better soon.
@@nyizaw8335 Your country must cease its aspirations of maintaining a unitary state and abandon the notion of assimilating minority groups, as such efforts are futile. Instead, governance should be restructured into a genuine federation to ensure sustainable growth in the future.

I love Thailand..its the most well-rounded country in Southeat Asia.. good food, good infrastructure, never boring, and friendly people. Better than Philippines in almost all metrics and I'm from Philippines
The Philipines used to be the top country in this region, until Marcos ruined your your country, too much to recover fast. In Thailand the politicians have been doing the same thing, but still not too deep to sink the country.
@@cathymeaw Ive studied SEA history for a couple years and the Philippines never got anywhere close to its peers. Not because you guys are bad, but the colonial powers screwing you up earlier than us neighbours.
India and Myanmar had both been under British rule and both had/have very diverse internal cultures, yet, after fighting for their freedom, they proceeded along different paths and now are quite different in their development, safety, and military involvement. Why?
I don't know much about India situations, but I guess the Indian think of themself as one country. There may be political factions but all of them compete for the one big cake of India. Myanmar is not so. At the time the northern part of Myanmar and Thailand have lots of small city states (Mostly in the mountain ranges). At the height of colonization, the ones near Thailand were convinced by Thai to join us or you would be eaten up by the white ppl. It's helpful that Thailand tried to peacefully but firmly establish influence with them for years, by marriage, sending governors, trade, have them send their sons down to study in Bangkok. On the other hand, The ones near Burma were VERY resisting to join Burma. In the end, they were tricked by Burma. Burma told them to temporary join with Burma to prevent British from annexing them. After the white ppl are gone, they were told, we will give you your independence. Well, the white ppl are eventually gone. These city states (who never think of themselves as Burmese) want independence. Burma said nope. Wars ensued. Burma had to create very strong military force to quell the 'rebellions'. And, well, that very strong military force become the government, and the rebellion is still going on to this day. That's what I learn as a Thai, anyway. Myanmar ppl may think differently.
Things to know: Thailand has an informal economy, accounting for 48.4% of GDP, ranking 14th out of 158 in the world. You can see this from the street food stalls and private shops. Some shops make almost 5,000 baht a day, but that doesn't include the per capita income. My family runs a grocery store in the village, but they were able to send me to study abroad. You can ask a food cart vendor in Bangkok how much they sell per day, and you'll be shocked.
That's awesome! I hope it stays like this. I am from Poland and I see a lot of similarities between our countries even though we have all completely different history and live on a different continent. Poland was under soviet occupation for many years and suffered from both world wars the most. Now we are a free country for 35 years and our GDP is rising very fast. I believe that liberty and trading is what makes the country thrive. I'm visiting Thailand again in February. I wish your country and it's people all the best.
So, they're not dictators then. If they're dictators, you wouldn't be enjoying Facebook, Twitter or even TH-cam and probably 6 feet under the dirt by now, lol. I'm a Thai-Japanese and I've lived in Thailand for 13 years and Japan for 15 years and yes, even during Prayut's rule and i've never had any problem. There are certain things you can't do in Thailand like talking bad to the Royal family. But guess what, every country is unique with their own cultures and way of life. You can't apply other country's way of life and law and expect it to work in Thailand, which is what the Left and Move Forward Party love to do. It just doesn't work. Thai people love their king and royal family. They've done so much for the country. Tell you this much. The Left will have my full support for abolishing 112 article when the king and the royal family acting like Saudi Arabia's royal family.
Thailand military is the King's army, but Myanmar military is for themselves. Being independent from colonization era is a crucial part of Thailand's success nowadays even we have the most disgusting politicians.
So they're not dictators then. If they are, you wouldn't be here, talking bad about them. Also, you wouldn't have the priviledge of using Facebook, Twitter or even TH-cam, lol.

While Karen scratter along west mountain range border. I personally don't have issue with Mynmar. Wish them peace. Then we can cooperate to develop and gain benefit together.
The Thai monarchy is the center of development continuity for hundred of years. They thrived through the communist era by the leading of King Rama 9, by developing the remote provinces. A lot of water reservoirs, agricultural support units, and modern medical distribution were made efficiently during his reign.
@@marketplacegurun4547 It mostly just because he's the longest reigning monarch in the modern Thailand thus more coup. After the first coup in Thailand Rama VII abdicate so he have only one coup in his reign. Rama VIII reign was short and it was an era where the politic was some what stable because of the the war. And Rama XI literally reigning the entire cold war the era where there's coup everywhere in the world.
Myanmar (Burmese) people are very grateful that Thailand support us in times like this. We will be supporting Thai with both skilled and cheaper foreign labor and hope to contribute Thailand’s GDP 😇
Resently UN warn Thailand to grant the Thai nationality to all refugees born in Thailand. Imagine when you have neighbors Myanmar vietnam Lao and Cambodia with the history of relentless war and genocide etc, that cause them crossborder become refugee in Thailand like consecutively through 100 years. It doesn't' seems to end any time soon. And the huge amout of migrants come all the time. If Thailand follow UN exactly, there wouldn't be Thailand you see right now. It could be worse than European countries with too many refugee nowadays. Most of neighbor countries' citizen will move to Thailand permanently. It horrify even to think about.

As a Thai, I feel like the worst part of Myanmar history is that they were colonized by Westerner and the Western Ruler's using "Divided and Rule" method to rule over the country for years, that why there are so many small ethnic group which usually rebel over the central military government. I deeply feel that Myanmar citizen loss many opportunity to thrive, nevertheless I welcomed every Burmese who seek safety and normal standard daily life in Thailand which did not have to worried about their life. For Thai, the corruption is main problem as well as the civil servant system which is not so effective, that why Thai was always "Developing country" since I was born. But Thailand also has its bright side, they didn't racist whether where you came from, not because they are weak but they are generous people as nature and influenced by Buddhism. My ancestor come from China mainland since WW2, and Thai-Chinese people were also one of the main group of people that make Thai more developed. However, right now the modern Chinese people were not like in the past, they came and take-it-all, they didn't give back to Thai, that why many Thai people's including me feel not so good about them.
It’s definitely political instability. Myanmar has some incredibly beautiful beaches and islands and they are untouched. Also amazing history and architecture.
Such a lovely and informative video, thank you for putting all of this information together. I'm an American living as an expat in Thailand, and I've met so many people from Myanmar here. After meeting them, I can honestly say I've never met people who are more kind than the Myanmar people despite all they've gone through. My heart absolutely breaks for all the challenges they've endured. The Thai people are so kind to welcome them in with such open arms, and it makes me happy that the refugees have a place to go that's safe.
Military rule is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a country. Even if it's an improvement over the alternative, it still never works out well.
@@shakiMiki military rule is bad. But at least they create road and schools. (SK, Taiwan) Stupid military rule is the doom of your country. They don’t do shit (ex myanmar) But Thailand is Bipolar, it switch from civilian rule to stupid civilian rule to military rule to stupid military rule and back to civilian rule and so on.
Mainly, Thailand prospered because it was able to overcome the communists in the period 1965-1980. At that time, America and France lost the Vietnam War. As a result, Thailand has to fight with 3 communist countries. Vietnam Laos Khmer Thailand is skilled and has greater military potential and fighting tactics. Conquering all 3 countries That is the reason why Thailand can stand as number one in this region. In fact, if Thailand is not peace-loving Countries in this area of ASEAN are probably Thai territory.
@@Peeoto lmao fr though. Some old day mil rule work out so well, some civ rule too. But now both of them are stupid. Idk how other nation feels about junta shit, but in Thailand we got so many of it to the point that its feels like a normal thing. And for sure they will be stupid same as civ rule who's got coup. Its worked out just fine because they didn't fuck everything and everyone up like other. They just do their shit and still make half of nation love them. Another half hated them btw. And all of this comes from me who's in another half too.
We live in fear every day. In the big city, we are afraid of the criminals who have been released from prison on purpose by the military council, and they also extort money by arresting people for no reason, putting them in prison, and demanding that they be released from prison if they pay a lot of money. Due to inflation, the prices of goods have gone up and the people are suffering. Some foreign tourists visit and only see the surface and think it's different from what they see on the news. In fact, it's peaceful in the big cities and fighting is going on in other places ( My English is very bad and incomplete, so I hope you will read the letter with patience )
I've lived in Thailand as a foreigner for two years, and I find the country and its people absolutely wonderful. While there's still room for improvement in areas like services, political stability, and infrastructure, Thailand is a blessed nation with hardworking citizens who have the potential to achieve great things. Regarding the financial growth statistics you presented, I’m unsure if they accurately reflect the average Thai citizen’s quality of life, especially compared to countries like the Netherlands. Thailand is a peaceful and safe country, offering many advantages to those looking to retire, explore Southeast Asia, or start a business.
No! we don't want more fireingner from any country move in. For retirement or whatever. We don't like the idea that foreigner invite each other to move to our country. More and more people realise this.
Nah, it looks like everyone has got an army of their own, one won largest part and the rest aren't happy with that. The closest example I could compare to would be Baiyang govt era of China during WWII. Everything is a mess. No wonder the development is so far behind.

The truth that must be told is that Thailand is surrounded by neighboring countries that have problems. In the eyes of Burma, Laos and Cambodia, Thailand is heaven and the best place to live. But at the same time, in the eyes of Thai people towards neighboring countries They are the problem of Thailand. Because in some cases foreigners will be involved, forming gangs and setting up businesses to compete for Thai people's jobs. Most recently, Burmese people will demand all rights even though they do not use their own country.

As someone who’s traveled to both of these countries, back in 2014, I have often wanted to know more about the Geo political history of Myanmar. I’ve researched it a bit, but your video clarified everything for me in a way nothing I have read in the past has done. Thanks for creating this.
Thailand has made remarkable progress in infrastructure development. The country now boasts an extensive network of modern facilities, including advanced public transportation systems like the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway in Bangkok, as well as ongoing projects for high-speed rail networks that aim to connect major cities. In healthcare, Thailand is known for its high-quality medical services and is a popular destination for medical tourism. The country has also made significant strides in technology and innovation, with several Thai companies and institutions gaining global recognition. These advancements reflect Thailand's dynamic growth and development, far surpassing the image of a 'third world' country.
I'm from the Philippines, but my country is still facing challenges, even though we're still growing, but we don't struggle like Myanmar. Thailand continues to grow and develop over the years along with other ASEAN countries including Malaysia and Singapore.
Thailands gdp is only that big by ppp which is not a good measurement, and per capita it is still very poor. But in nominal terms it not even close to Switzerland, Netherlands, and Australia and per capita it is still poorer than China. But compared to Myanmar it is definitely way way better.
Thailand is also fueled by something called "Gray economy" (it's like 40% of the Thailand's GDP), so while the per capita may not be as high as Netherlands and Australia, it is higher than what was written down.
Guys, I’m Thai. From our history, Myanmar and Ayutthaya had many wars. After the wars ended, both sides took captives back to help build their cities. There were documented cases of Thai royals being held hostage there, and populations were moved between the two countries. Some people of Thai descent live in Myanmar, and there are also people of Burmese descent living in Thailand.😊 back then human were resources so we Thai and Myanmar actually bonded by blood, at least some of us
In simplified terms, the main difference was in leadership and policies. Thailand was blessed with good leadership (the former king was a very good leader), and good policies that helped people become prosperous, while Myanmar was cursed with a horrible string of leaders since Ne Win, with a short 5 year break before the most recent coup in 2021.
@@torquemada4327 It is easy for you to think simplistic ways on complex situations from afar. There are prejudices in any race or country. In Myanmar, the prejudice started way back when the British colonizers brought in Bengali laboreres from Bangladesh who later identified themselves as "Rohingya". There were earlier Muslim inhabitants who were Arab traders who called themselves Rohingya (Meaning those who settled in Arakan or Rakhine state), but the new arrivals identified with the same group even though they were racially different. The British gave them arms when they left Myanmar (Burma) when they were losing the war to the Japanese imperial army, and the so-called Rohingya committed atrocities against the ethnic Rakhine population using the arms that the British left. Since then, the ethnic conflict started in Rakhine state between the Rohingyas and the Rakhine ethnic groups. Later, the armed Rohingyas demanded a separate Islamic state within Rakhine. This is when the government stepped in and military operations started against the separatist Rohingyas. All that followed was a result of these complex political situations.

Burmese migrant workers are the literal pillars of the Thai economy. You go to any markets, it's all staffed by migrant labor. Most food processing plants? Staffed by migrant labor.
Myanmar's monarchy was removed by UK, which left the military as the only centre of power. Without the monarchy, there is no respected and revered body to represent the people in national decision making. And there is no one to control the actions of the military. Just look at the role of the Thai monarch. Without it, Thailand will become another Myanmar.
I doubt why the modern burmese political powers after WWII didn't reestablish the new monarchy to be the center of nation's power. It's not unusual in the past that the most powerful person established himself to be an emperor and had the new dynasty. Cambodia did this way peacefully though the king has no influence to the nation at all since all power fell into the Hunsen's clan but it help stabilize the nation.
Exactly what I think. Nowadays, youngsters in Thailand has little to know about the role of monarchy and they try so hard to end the monarchy. I'm not said the monarchy is absolutely good but they has the role to neutralize the military power that young generation never recognized.
@@dueyduey1611yea they also have the power to command the military to coup any government they don’t like, or use constitutional court, or rewrite the constitution
Also what has helped Thailand during the past 100 years is not only staying independent but they have been like the Switzerland of Asia in not getting involved or taking sides in wars by staying relatively neutral even during world war 2. Even today Thailand has good relations and trade with all countries including the US, China and Russia.
The russian empire with Tsar Nicholas II has helped our kingdom sometime in someway from the European colonization. Once they're no longer communism we must continue our good relationship.

@@TaLeng2023 Didn't Japan take Burma and Malaysia from the Brits for a bit? Seems to me they couldn't have done that if they were worried about the Thai.
The Thai took over 4 million Myanmar people in the last 10-15 years and half of them became a full Thai citizens. Now that is like helping out a small country while Thailand ain’t that better off or on par in economic to the standard of the first world developed country. Kudos to them because even westerners countries who called themselves the colonizers of the indochina pacific less than a century ago -unfortunately still showing no signs of taking the responsibility for all the mess they have left behind in the southeast Asian. All of these countries should at least give back what they took or in compensation. May be it is time that Thailand stop taking in all the problems from neighboring countries whether they are Myanmar, Cambodia or Lao and ignore all those western powers in pressuring Thailand to help the less off neighboring countries on humanitarian relief reasons. This is not the part of the negotiations under creating stability international relationship policy with any developed beneficiaries richer nations. We don’t see Singapore or Malaysia allowing illegal work force/ low skilled laborers nor war refugees entering their country as much as the Thai does and these two countries are the richest in the regions. At the end of the day all the westerners democracy values only represent how they had terribly just failed in demonstrating any good example themselves in helping others. Today, so far- better off nations only ever thought about profiting their own country in the long run if they were to get involved with any internal problems from other states. Thailand has so many internal problems particularly corruption. Therefore, stoping the hardship investment on who isn’t Thai might be the first priority. It is wiser to used the country’s resources in making Thailand better and stronger, which should have been the only focus of development push forward as a nation. No one can help others properly unless they are really ready in a better position and situation themselves first. The Thai need to free their themselves from being taken over economically by the Chinese and stop all of those wealthier foreigners taking advantage over Thai-citizens because of the weak Thai baht currency. Retaining economic balance over warfare relationship that is not even yours = certainly will only give Thai people harder time particularly during the global bad economic crisis.

@@fajarh979 if that is the correct umbrella -covering all illegal immigrants as well as the legal in status = then Malaysia government is doing a great job. We read somewhere that - the Thai have nearly 20 million out of their 70 million’s who aren’t Thai but settled in the country. This includes all the rising numbers from the other nations you had just mentioned who is making their way to Thailand. We saw a big rise from Philippine too on top of the normal Cambodian, Myanmar and Lao recently. After visiting Thailand on koa-sarn road in 2023 we particularly saw more of the third agenda coming into Thailand for prostitution with the Philippine being the largest new comers providing this illegal services. Which is unusual -as we thought the Philippine are mostly Christian or more under the western influences, so being accepted for being other sexuality types shouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, we were told that this isn’t the case in many southeast Asian countries, and - because Thailand has better freedom and more loopholes for illegal immigrants who is seeking this kind of jobs going on within their borders. The Thai corrupted governing in many aspects are upfront shameless and this administration only worsens what is bad to worse. Hence, This is the reason why Thailand should tighten their immigration controls fast and put a shorter dateline limit on sharing free visas with the lesser off neighboring nations. Otherwise, Had the Thai carried on their system this way- the whole country will soon be flooded with all kinds of illegal activities and become a new safe havens for criminals escapees from both international and domestic gangsters. Thank you very much for your information on Malaysia immigration numbers.
@@BeekicchinDaidocoroAs a Thai guy, thank you for speaking my mind out loud, especially when it comes to the Chinese economic invasion. Small good news is, we finally have Thai-made electric vehicle brands like I-Motor, Etran, Strom. All manufactured in Thailand, which is just a start.
@@patriotth1453 👍 this is a good new to hear as Thai brands ‘ innovations definitely need bigger push-particularly in modern tech. Hope the product can take the sales to the global market. We are actually surprised that Thailand would invest in electric cars because of all the yearly flood you have going on in your country. But,,,,,, since this is the fact - then in this case, electronic vehicles made in Thailand may be coming out with higher quality made than from china. Unfortunately, China market will be hard to beat in all perspectives. It will take the whole Thai nation to come together in allowing some Chinese products to come in to Thailand just to keep the economic relationship sweet between the two countries. However at the same time -if all Thai people don’t buy or stopped supporting any Chinese products at all, or - as much as possible avoid buying foreign brands good just like how Japanese people politely declined using or buying products that isn’t made in Japan to the extreme point where that non Japanese products pulled itself out altogether. = then = Thailand might have a chance in keeping the job balance for your own people and keep productivity in Thailand going. It is not a conspiracy but survival as a nation that can stand on their own terms of economic independence. Japanese people are great in this sense of unity. Most of all your Thai government must go big in supporting campaign for home sustainable economic policies which we couldn’t see happening at the moment in growth or development. To be honest, we only saw increasing Chinese factories, hotel, businesses being allowed to built more and more each year as we visited Thailand - so what does this say about the situation. We are hoping that we are wrong 😑 At the end of the day time will tell & We just have to wait and see. Thank you for your updates 🆒
Natural resources rich countries are where brain dead dictators thrive cuz you don't really need to work on anything else to survive and thrive as a nation. That's why some of the best leaders are from resource poor countries, Lee Kwan Yew being one of them.
@@aungphyusin908 even if we have a lot of natural resources we don't have good way to use them and make money We also produce a lot of jades , oil and china is main buyer Main reason why our country don't develop like Thailand is bc wars and country internal struggle for power It mostly bc military dictators They also build naypyidaw city cost around 5Billion is US Dollar and almost no one lives there we could've used those money to develop the country Or buy new technologies
Myanmar was fully colonized and still overcoming all the economic and social consequences of that ... Meanwhile Thailand was able to maintain its sovereignty and independence, more or less. Thailand and Japan are the two major Asian countries that kept their sovereignty and independence from European colonialism, so it's no surprise they have a strong, proud, independent identity and power.
I too was reminded of Japan and was looking for this comment. Both countries, it seems, could easily have become colonies in the late 1800s, being so far behind Europe. Both chose to fix their cultures and upgrade their tech-stack.
For the same reason Ethiopia is doing better than somolia. Thailand and Ethiopian borders and countries have a fairly long and natural history in the region. Whereas Myanmar and Somolia were created by colonial powers initially. Specifically colonial powers that could never fully understand the ethnic, political, or cultural history of the region they governed. That’s also why Sudan is tearing into 3 pieces. Thailand and Ethiopia were natural regional powers whereas Myanmar was drawn by British colonial administration. There are some countries that are doing ok that were draw up by colonial powers (India is a great example), but most the time these countries start to break.
I agree that one of the main reasons a country is so conflicted inside its borders is often because it has been influenced heavily from outsiders. Look at what is going on in Europe. It can occur also through colonialism.
I am from Myanmar and our military is hurting us :'(, I need to study online cuz in irl school, it's dangerous, the students that learn irl school got killed by the military. As much as I love my country, I want to run away from it.🤧😢😞
The political system of a country has a huge impact on whether it thrives or simply exists. Authoritarian ruled nations never fully develop to their full potential.
If the ruler of a nation truly cares about the average person and works to improve the life of the average citizen and is not controlling and power hungry, then an authoritarian controlled nation (where the people have no say in their government) do have a chance at living a better life. Usually authoritarians are paranoid, controlling, suppress the masses and do not allow a free media. Dictatorship controlled nations live and die based around the personality of the ruler. This is a foolish form of governance that was the historical model. All power is resident within one person. Recent history has demonstrated that democracies (that are not corrupt) are the superior option. They thrive economically and the average person tends to live a better life.
Thanks for this very insightful video! And I’m praying for my people to have a good leader who can eliminate all these legacies and hope people to learn more to be more united and not to be so selfish to rebuild the nation again. It’s just a tiny little hope. But I’m still hoping 😢
It's such a shame cuz there's a beautiful place in Myanmar called Bagan full of nothing but Buddhist stupas surrounded by greenery - no skyscrapers, barely no roads and hardly a trace of modernity - and it would've been on my bucket list had it not been for the civil war going on there. It still is, but maybe one day it'll end and Myanmar can benefit from a tourism industry the same way Thailand has.
We should be brothers. we are all buddhists from various sects. Buddhist countries MUST be together to fight the evil. Love all my Buddhist Brothers from Sri Lanka..........I'm a Sinhalese Buddhist from Sri Lanka...
@@erdno his pronunciation of the country drives me nuts. Sounds like an idiot. It’s hard to watch the video when he’s talking about a place he can’t pronounce properly
Simple: one was a colony that was never allowed to develop its own national capabilities due to opium smuggling by the CIA and Taiwan (Myanmar).The other was never a colony and a very happy partner of the U.S. to conduct interference operations against its neighbours Myanmar, China, Cambodia, and Laos (Thailand).
And not only the US. Thailand made partnerships of various kinds with other colonial powers, especially Britain and France. Those two seemed happy to have Thailand as a buffer zone between each other. There were some conflicts, but somehow Thailand managed to keep everyone happy enough that they didn't escalate to invasion.
If we compare these two countries, while both are ruled by the military, Myanmar is tense both internally and has an impact on foreigners. Foreigners entering the country = dangerous . But in Thailand, the military never and the king does not interfere with foreigners.

@@aleonflex6611 Ayutthaya, where there are many people, we focus on hitting the city and bringing their people with them. Unlike Myanmar, which is separated into tribes.
There’s a problem with Thailand being the 23rd richest country is most of those wealth goes to monopoly billionaires due to the drastic inequality issue in Thailand, though. Most of the worker in Thailand dirt Pour, while they’re only a handful of filthy rich people.
That’s why there has to be a domestic free-trade in this country, not letting a few rich families gaining control of the market. Small businesses must begin.
I noticed that The ethnic Chinese population is significantly related to the level of development of the countries in the SEA region. Singapore 75%, Malaysia 23%, Thailand 15%, These three countries have the largest percent of ethnic Chinese populations in the SEA region, if not included Brunai that have oils. these three countries appear to be the most developed in the SEA region respectively.🤔
My best friend moved to Myanmar because of his job, I feared for his safety.

Welcome to Thailand y’all. If you haven’t visit you should visit my country. There’s so many tourist hotspots and the food is amazing. Foods like the Kuai Kai or famous Patthai. I recommend putting sugar, spice and soy sauce to get the traditional Thai flavor. Trust me Thailand is definitely worth it and it’s cheap too. The commercial stores like seven eleven are everywhere and so convenient. So many beautiful tourist spots too. Like Pattaya. If you haven’t been to Thailand you should definitely come. 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭Thailand is my home.
Thailand is a monarchy. So far, most monarchies across the world have performed decently. This is because the monarchs have been ruling the countries for generations and have thus gained political legitimacy. Meanwhile military dictatorships are upstarts and thus lack the respect given to the monarchies.
An absolute tragedy what is happening in Myanmar. The people there are absolutely wonderful, so so friendly. The landscape is stunning and the temples and pagodas are the best I've ever seen. Bagan, my goodness it's dripping with history. Then there's the food, better than Thai food. I hope peace comes to Myanmar soon.
yeh right better than thai food but everyone in myanmar love to go to thai restaurants and most of those seasonings they sell are fromt thailand wearing thai brands. the ppl is so friendly they dont smile at you at all. if u r lucky enough walking by the street betle could hv been spitted on u carelessly.
@nt4409 i was last there in 2019 and that was my impression. Maybe the civil war has changed things but I didn't see a single Thai restaurant when I was there. I atand by my comments on the people, found them much friendlier than Thais, maybe they just don't like you for some reason?
@@Pete7554htp "you dont see" just like that huh? haha the strongest argument i hv ever faced. i was there owning a thai restaurant myself right before the coup and thai restaurants were and are definitely everywhere. stop bs ur way out bro. much friendlier than thais? welp thats ur opinions and half of my relatives are burmese, at least they dont think like thai. friendly? than thais no way! are they kind? absolutely.
@@nt4409 I never said there were no Thai restaurants in Myanmar, I didn't see any but I wasn't looking either. Of course my original comment was that I preferred Burmese food over Thai and I stand by that. After talking to many travelers who have been to both, they all said pretty much the same thing about the people. Maybe you are a bit biased about the people, after all there is a civil war there so certain ethnic groups hate other ethnic groups. Maybe an impartial outsider is a better judge of the people in Myanmar.
Great, well-reasoned analysis! Many of the labels on maps, for instance the rivers in Thailand, were hard to read. Could you use higher contrast between text and label background, please?
Wow. You pronounce the name of river so well. Not much non thai be able to pronounce the name so correctly like you. Thank you for making this vdo, anyway.
First of all,I am from Myanmar and I just wanna say u did a great job analysing the geopolitics between the two country. This 18 minutes video alone is a lot better than what they teach you in school history education (which is influenced by the military so you know what I mean).also I wanna add one more things why my country is dying and the other is booming. There a lot of immigrants worker from Myanmar to Thailand and other country (people who don't like war,and who don't like the military just move to other country , so there basically no human resource left in the country for development and shit. All that left is the war zone and military regime . I am sad to say but t.he country is basically dead.
@@ju5e3 Also sad to say that is what people do, what people did, and what people doing right now. take a look at the world history and count how many wars and conflicts, why are we always fighting war. sigh.
The reason there is a war in Myanmar is because everyone wants a piece of the next Thailand. Those in Myanmar absolutely see all the opportunities in Thailand. That is why the military all have their hands in the hospitality, mining, and lumber harvesting industries in Myanmar.
Same goes for other dictators for so they only care about securing their own power If they were a little smarter to just genuinely be nice they’d have had been even richer but them evil are only good at only doing evil
@@aungmyotun4216Lol that's not true. The monopoly in Thailand can just pay the military to do another coup and changes any law to further their business or assign their own people with zero consequences to shutdown the opposition or anyone that try to speaks up. So, there's no way the Burma military is richer. 😂
Unlike countries like India, Malaysia or Pakistan. Myanmar doesn't show any signs that it was colonized by the British. They don't speak English, the roads and infrastructure don't look British. Thailand has similar architecture... which is weird. The weirdest thing to me is they don't act like a British colony. Even, a partial dictatorship like Pakistan... dictatorship isn't the problem in my opinion. It's a really nice feeling when you see that "established republic of [country] ", partially in English as a official language. With a established capital that has big old colonial buildings like Delhi or Islamabad. And those very old established Universities in English that foreigners go to.
As a Buddhist country, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar are equally friendly as long time friends. No matter how different the political systems of those countries are, Sri Lanka as a Buddhist country works together with the people of these two countries and works with those countries respectfully. We think that the internal crisis in the countries should be solved by the people of those countries.
Well politics is the main reason. You have a soft dictatorship on Thailand and a full blown military junta in Burma.
That's symptom not cause.

@@patriotth1453 can't kill...🤔👉🪳 ?
it almost got colonised. The French were ready to bombard the major trade ports and route since they had guns and cannons. During that time the west had very strong navy. Luckily one of the thai kings paid (red bag) them with gold, silver, gemstone and precious resources not to attack. Basically, they were like pirates and gangsters. Unfortunately for other south east asian countries they were not as wealthy as siam . Therefore, they were colonised and luckily Thais were very close allied with the Chinese and russia empire.
The other big flaw with Myanmar is it's a military state.
It's why they moved their capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw.
Both to provide palaces for their biggest military leaders and to isolate themselves from larger population centers to avoid the disgruntled masses who could revolt.
That cost em a ton of money, too, and none of it went to lifting the people out of poverty or making their institutions and economy more productive.
Smart countries know that the best investment is in the workers; the lifeblood of a nation.
It's a terrible shame just how few smart countries actually exist...
You could also say some parts apply to Bangkok and it's predecessor Ayutthaya as both were chosen to be built in the center of the country so as to monitor the country's territory better inside-out, especially after the conquest of Isaan, the North-Eastern states. But due to there being a stable figure, namely the monarchy, the military didn't go rampant (and also both agreed to a symbiotic relationship) and the country began developing once the Western powers arrived at the country's doorsteps, due to fear of being colonised.
Myanmar's "stable figure" was assassinated upon signing indépendance papers from the British. Rumours says it was from a extremist group originating from the military so no symbiotic relationship there.
Both Thailand and Myanmar is a export-heavy economy but Thailand has used its decades of experience and headstart to improve its infrastructure so as to be attractive to expats. Unsure when or if Myanmar will ever achieve this in the near/immediate future but it'll be interesting to see.
How is that working out for them?
"Smart countries know that the best investment is in the workers; the lifeblood of a nation."
I can think of a country where this is glaring apparent in needing to do so. hints: its in ASEAN, its an archipelago its currently ranked #13 in population.

I am an American living in Ubon, Thailand which is in the North East region. I can say this, everyone is welcomed with open arms. To my fellow Americans and those in the west. Thailand is abundance for farang (foreigners) to come in whether for business, or travel vacation. It is unfortunate what has happened to Myanmar, but as far as Thailand goes. It is squeezed in with the military ruled former Burma in the west and communist take over in both Cambodia and Laos. And still maintained over the decades to not fall for either. Yes there has been several uprisings over the time I have been here but it is minor compared to these other nations surrounding Thailand.

@@HauTran-sunfromsouth Germany has no problems with Denmark , Denmark has no problems with Sweden, Sweden has no problem with Norway, Norway has no problem with Finland and that has been like that since WW2
Denmark had a littel problem with Canada, there is a littel island between Canada and Greenland (Danish) called Hans island, go look at Google and see how the problem was solved-
That's how to do things when there is problems about a border
only when you speak thai fluently.
Geographically Myanmar has Ancient City in the middle of desert, Snowy Himalayan Mountains, untouched Achipelagos and Islands, even tropical Jungles. It would have been one of the best tourism hotspots like Thailand if not for the political situation. Even Burmese like me cannot visit those places in the border because the civil war going on for more than 60 years.
It's very sad. As a Thai, I really want to visit Myanmar soon, especially those untouched islands with beautiful beaches in the south.
I'm from Thailand and I completely agree. Myanmar has so many stunning islands that are just waiting to be discovered. And the snowy mountains! Most people associate SEA as a tropical paradise, but there's so much more. I'm sure places like Phuket (or Thailand in general) would be less crowded if Myanmar's tourism was as developed as ours. I really hope things improve there so tourists have more options since it's only getting more crowded here. Hugs 🫂
I live In Maesot and heard that Myanmar has such a beautiful beach 🏖️ I really want to visit there because it’s so close to my home but I have to go to Hua Hin , Phuket instead because of the war in Myanmar right now. I am so sad and hope that the situation will be better soon.

Your country must cease its aspirations of maintaining a unitary state and abandon the notion of assimilating minority groups, as such efforts are futile. Instead, governance should be restructured into a genuine federation to ensure sustainable growth in the future. Persisting with policies aimed at assimilation will only perpetuate conflict, making the cessation of war unattainable.

I love Thailand..its the most well-rounded country in Southeat Asia.. good food, good infrastructure, never boring, and friendly people. Better than Philippines in almost all metrics and I'm from Philippines
The Philipines used to be the top country in this region, until Marcos ruined your your country, too much to recover fast. In Thailand the politicians have been doing the same thing, but still not too deep to sink the country.
@@cathymeaw philiphines is a really good country, but never better than thailand.
ประเทศไทยยินดีต้อนรับ😊
my area in the philippines looks like it has been ravaged by war with many trash, destroyed pavements, homeless etc.
@@cathymeaw Ive studied SEA history for a couple years and the Philippines never got anywhere close to its peers. Not because you guys are bad, but the colonial powers screwing you up earlier than us neighbours.
India and Myanmar had both been under British rule and both had/have very diverse internal cultures, yet, after fighting for their freedom, they proceeded along different paths and now are quite different in their development, safety, and military involvement. Why?
I don't know much about India situations, but I guess the Indian think of themself as one country. There may be political factions but all of them compete for the one big cake of India.
Myanmar is not so. At the time the northern part of Myanmar and Thailand have lots of small city states (Mostly in the mountain ranges). At the height of colonization, the ones near Thailand were convinced by Thai to join us or you would be eaten up by the white ppl. It's helpful that Thailand tried to peacefully but firmly establish influence with them for years, by marriage, sending governors, trade, have them send their sons down to study in Bangkok.
On the other hand, The ones near Burma were VERY resisting to join Burma. In the end, they were tricked by Burma. Burma told them to temporary join with Burma to prevent British from annexing them. After the white ppl are gone, they were told, we will give you your independence. Well, the white ppl are eventually gone. These city states (who never think of themselves as Burmese) want independence. Burma said nope. Wars ensued. Burma had to create very strong military force to quell the 'rebellions'. And, well, that very strong military force become the government, and the rebellion is still going on to this day.
That's what I learn as a Thai, anyway. Myanmar ppl may think differently.
Things to know: Thailand has an informal economy, accounting for 48.4% of GDP, ranking 14th out of 158 in the world. You can see this from the street food stalls and private shops. Some shops make almost 5,000 baht a day, but that doesn't include the per capita income. My family runs a grocery store in the village, but they were able to send me to study abroad. You can ask a food cart vendor in Bangkok how much they sell per day, and you'll be shocked.
That's awesome! I hope it stays like this. I am from Poland and I see a lot of similarities between our countries even though we have all completely different history and live on a different continent. Poland was under soviet occupation for many years and suffered from both world wars the most. Now we are a free country for 35 years and our GDP is rising very fast. I believe that liberty and trading is what makes the country thrive. I'm visiting Thailand again in February. I wish your country and it's people all the best.
That informal/illegal economy is why Thailand is one of 5 countries responsible for polluting Earth's ocean with plastic trash.
Our dictators in Thailand aren't as nasty as the Burmese ones, fortunately.
I hated them but has to agree that they didn't fuck everything and hated by every single one like Myanmar.
So, they're not dictators then. If they're dictators, you wouldn't be enjoying Facebook, Twitter or even TH-cam and probably 6 feet under the dirt by now, lol. I'm a Thai-Japanese and I've lived in Thailand for 13 years and Japan for 15 years and yes, even during Prayut's rule and i've never had any problem. There are certain things you can't do in Thailand like talking bad to the Royal family. But guess what, every country is unique with their own cultures and way of life. You can't apply other country's way of life and law and expect it to work in Thailand, which is what the Left and Move Forward Party love to do. It just doesn't work. Thai people love their king and royal family. They've done so much for the country. Tell you this much. The Left will have my full support for abolishing 112 article when the king and the royal family acting like Saudi Arabia's royal family.
Thailand military is the King's army, but Myanmar military is for themselves. Being independent from colonization era is a crucial part of Thailand's success nowadays even we have the most disgusting politicians.
@@thaneeyat2252 Yes that's correct

As a Thai, I feel like the worst part of Myanmar history is that they were colonized by Westerner and the Western Ruler's using "Divided and Rule" method to rule over the country for years, that why there are so many small ethnic group which usually rebel over the central military government. I deeply feel that Myanmar citizen loss many opportunity to thrive, nevertheless I welcomed every Burmese who seek safety and normal standard daily life in Thailand which did not have to worried about their life.
For Thai, the corruption is main problem as well as the civil servant system which is not so effective, that why Thai was always "Developing country" since I was born.
But Thailand also has its bright side, they didn't racist whether where you came from, not because they are weak but they are generous people as nature and influenced by Buddhism.
My ancestor come from China mainland since WW2, and Thai-Chinese people were also one of the main group of people that make Thai more developed. However, right now the modern Chinese people were not like in the past, they came and take-it-all, they didn't give back to Thai, that why many Thai people's including me feel not so good about them.

Thailand has made remarkable progress in infrastructure development. The country now boasts an extensive network of modern facilities, including advanced public transportation systems like the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway in Bangkok, as well as ongoing projects for high-speed rail networks that aim to connect major cities. In healthcare, Thailand is known for its high-quality medical services and is a popular destination for medical tourism. The country has also made significant strides in technology and innovation, with several Thai companies and institutions gaining global recognition. These advancements reflect Thailand's dynamic growth and development, far surpassing the image of a 'third world' country.

Wonderful presentation, Geoff. Sincere compliments for your openminded and understanding views of the countries you present.
Guys, I’m Thai. From our history, Myanmar and Ayutthaya had many wars. After the wars ended, both sides took captives back to help build their cities. There were documented cases of Thai royals being held hostage there, and populations were moved between the two countries. Some people of Thai descent live in Myanmar, and there are also people of Burmese descent living in Thailand.😊
back then human were resources
so we Thai and Myanmar actually bonded by blood, at least some of us

In simplified terms, the main difference was in leadership and policies. Thailand was blessed with good leadership (the former king was a very good leader), and good policies that helped people become prosperous, while Myanmar was cursed with a horrible string of leaders since Ne Win, with a short 5 year break before the most recent coup in 2021.
Nah Burmese saw themselves superior than any ethnic groups, see how they treat Rohinya is enough
@@torquemada4327 It is easy for you to think simplistic ways on complex situations from afar. There are prejudices in any race or country. In Myanmar, the prejudice started way back when the British colonizers brought in Bengali laboreres from Bangladesh who later identified themselves as "Rohingya". There were earlier Muslim inhabitants who were Arab traders who called themselves Rohingya (Meaning those who settled in Arakan or Rakhine state), but the new arrivals identified with the same group even though they were racially different. The British gave them arms when they left Myanmar (Burma) when they were losing the war to the Japanese imperial army, and the so-called Rohingya committed atrocities against the ethnic Rakhine population using the arms that the British left. Since then, the ethnic conflict started in Rakhine state between the Rohingyas and the Rakhine ethnic groups. Later, the armed Rohingyas demanded a separate Islamic state within Rakhine. This is when the government stepped in and military operations started against the separatist Rohingyas. All that followed was a result of these complex political situations.
They do have superiority complex
@@ZwePyae-c9m every majority race in any civilization has a superiority complex. It is only in modern times with woke ideologies that tried to reverse this attitude.
@@torquemada4327 nobody likes Rohingya, even Malaysians. take them to your country please

Myanmar's monarchy was removed by UK, which left the military as the only centre of power. Without the monarchy, there is no respected and revered body to represent the people in national decision making. And there is no one to control the actions of the military. Just look at the role of the Thai monarch. Without it, Thailand will become another Myanmar.
I doubt why the modern burmese political powers after WWII didn't reestablish the new monarchy to be the center of nation's power. It's not unusual in the past that the most powerful person established himself to be an emperor and had the new dynasty. Cambodia did this way peacefully though the king has no influence to the nation at all since all power fell into the Hunsen's clan but it help stabilize the nation.
Exactly what I think. Nowadays, youngsters in Thailand has little to know about the role of monarchy and they try so hard to end the monarchy. I'm not said the monarchy is absolutely good but they has the role to neutralize the military power that young generation never recognized.

Also what has helped Thailand during the past 100 years is not only staying independent but they have been like the Switzerland of Asia in not getting involved or taking sides in wars by staying relatively neutral even during world war 2. Even today Thailand has good relations and trade with all countries including the US, China and Russia.

The Thai took over 4 million Myanmar people in the last 10-15 years and half of them became a full Thai citizens. Now that is like helping out a small country while Thailand ain’t that better off or on par in economic to the standard of the first world developed country.
Kudos to them because even westerners countries who called themselves the colonizers of the indochina pacific less than a century ago -unfortunately still showing no signs of taking the responsibility for all the mess they have left behind in the southeast Asian. All of these countries should at least give back what they took or in compensation.
May be it is time that Thailand stop taking in all the problems from neighboring countries whether they are Myanmar, Cambodia or Lao and ignore all those western powers in pressuring Thailand to help the less off neighboring countries on humanitarian relief reasons. This is not the part of the negotiations under creating stability international relationship policy with any developed beneficiaries richer nations.
We don’t see Singapore or Malaysia allowing illegal work force/ low skilled laborers nor war refugees entering their country as much as the Thai does and these two countries are the richest in the regions.
At the end of the day all the westerners democracy values only represent how they had terribly just failed in demonstrating any good example themselves in helping others.
Today, so far- better off nations only ever thought about profiting their own country in the long run if they were to get involved with any internal problems from other states.
Thailand has so many internal problems particularly corruption. Therefore, stoping the hardship investment on who isn’t Thai might be the first priority. It is wiser to used the country’s resources in making Thailand better and stronger, which should have been the only focus of development push forward as a nation.
No one can help others properly unless they are really ready in a better position and situation themselves first.
The Thai need to free their themselves from being taken over economically by the Chinese and stop all of those wealthier foreigners taking advantage over Thai-citizens because of the weak Thai baht currency.
Retaining economic balance over warfare relationship that is not even yours = certainly will only give Thai people harder time particularly during the global bad economic crisis.
There are more than 200K Rohingyas of Myanmar in Malaysia. Plus the illegals there could be 300k of them.
We also have Millions Indonesian. 1/2 Million Southern Filipinos here mostly in Sabah borneo malaysia.
Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Nepalis, Indians etc we have it all mostly for the 3D jobs.
@@fajarh979 if that is the correct umbrella -covering all illegal immigrants as well as the legal in status = then Malaysia government is doing a great job. We read somewhere that - the Thai have nearly 20 million out of their 70 million’s who aren’t Thai but settled in the country.
This includes all the rising numbers from the other nations you had just mentioned who is making their way to Thailand. We saw a big rise from Philippine too on top of the normal Cambodian, Myanmar and Lao recently.
After visiting Thailand on koa-sarn road in 2023 we particularly saw more of the third agenda coming into Thailand for prostitution with the Philippine being the largest new comers providing this illegal services. Which is unusual -as we thought the Philippine are mostly Christian or more under the western influences, so being accepted for being other sexuality types shouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, we were told that this isn’t the case in many southeast Asian countries, and - because Thailand has better freedom and more loopholes for illegal immigrants who is seeking this kind of jobs going on within their borders. The Thai corrupted governing in many aspects are upfront shameless and this administration only worsens what is bad to worse.
Hence, This is the reason why Thailand should tighten their immigration controls fast and put a shorter dateline limit on sharing free visas with the lesser off neighboring nations. Otherwise, Had the Thai carried on their system this way- the whole country will soon be flooded with all kinds of illegal activities and become a new safe havens for criminals escapees from both international and domestic gangsters.
Thank you very much for your information on Malaysia immigration numbers.
No way, not half of the 4M refugees became thai citizen "legally", impossible. Only in the dream can be.
@@BeekicchinDaidocoroAs a Thai guy, thank you for speaking my mind out loud, especially when it comes to the Chinese economic invasion.
Small good news is, we finally have Thai-made electric vehicle brands like I-Motor, Etran, Strom. All manufactured in Thailand, which is just a start.
@@patriotth1453 👍 this is a good new to hear as Thai brands ‘ innovations definitely need bigger push-particularly in modern tech. Hope the product can take the sales to the global market. We are actually surprised that Thailand would invest in electric cars because of all the yearly flood you have going on in your country. But,,,,,, since this is the fact - then in this case, electronic vehicles made in Thailand may be coming out with higher quality made than from china.
Unfortunately, China market will be hard to beat in all perspectives. It will take the whole Thai nation to come together in allowing some Chinese products to come in to Thailand just to keep the economic relationship sweet between the two countries. However at the same time -if all Thai people don’t buy or stopped supporting any Chinese products at all, or - as much as possible avoid buying foreign brands good just like how Japanese people politely declined using or buying products that isn’t made in Japan to the extreme point where that non Japanese products pulled itself out altogether. = then = Thailand might have a chance in keeping the job balance for your own people and keep productivity in Thailand going. It is not a conspiracy but survival as a nation that can stand on their own terms of economic independence. Japanese people are great in this sense of unity.
Most of all your Thai government must go big in supporting campaign for home sustainable economic policies which we couldn’t see happening at the moment in growth or development. To be honest, we only saw increasing Chinese factories, hotel, businesses being allowed to built more and more each year as we visited Thailand - so what does this say about the situation. We are hoping that we are wrong 😑
At the end of the day time will tell & We just have to wait and see. Thank you for your updates 🆒
As Bangladeshi🇧🇩 people , I hope Myanmar will be in peace soon.
Our Myanmar produce so much more natural resources but still is behind
I think because economics there is unfair. It is imbalanced by threat and use of force by people in power (military and money).
Natural resources rich countries are where brain dead dictators thrive cuz you don't really need to work on anything else to survive and thrive as a nation. That's why some of the best leaders are from resource poor countries, Lee Kwan Yew being one of them.
Why?....
@@aungphyusin908 even if we have a lot of natural resources we don't have good way to use them and make money
We also produce a lot of jades , oil and china is main buyer
Main reason why our country don't develop like Thailand is bc wars and country internal struggle for power
It mostly bc military dictators
They also build naypyidaw city cost around 5Billion is US Dollar and almost no one lives there we could've used those money to develop the country
Or buy new technologies
a lot of countries in the world have mass amount of resources but yea failed behind others
Myanmar was fully colonized and still overcoming all the economic and social consequences of that ... Meanwhile Thailand was able to maintain its sovereignty and independence, more or less. Thailand and Japan are the two major Asian countries that kept their sovereignty and independence from European colonialism, so it's no surprise they have a strong, proud, independent identity and power.
I too was reminded of Japan and was looking for this comment. Both countries, it seems, could easily have become colonies in the late 1800s, being so far behind Europe. Both chose to fix their cultures and upgrade their tech-stack.
For the same reason Ethiopia is doing better than somolia. Thailand and Ethiopian borders and countries have a fairly long and natural history in the region. Whereas Myanmar and Somolia were created by colonial powers initially. Specifically colonial powers that could never fully understand the ethnic, political, or cultural history of the region they governed. That’s also why Sudan is tearing into 3 pieces. Thailand and Ethiopia were natural regional powers whereas Myanmar was drawn by British colonial administration. There are some countries that are doing ok that were draw up by colonial powers (India is a great example), but most the time these countries start to break.
I agree that one of the main reasons a country is so conflicted inside its borders is often because it has been influenced heavily from outsiders. Look at what is going on in Europe. It can occur also through colonialism.
I thought Ethiopia also have a civil war which results in the death of at least 400,000 to 800,000 lives?

The political system of a country has a huge impact on whether it thrives or simply exists. Authoritarian ruled nations never fully develop to their full potential.
Oman says otherwise.
What worse is that it majorly impacts on the citizens with their lives
Singapore
True
If the ruler of a nation truly cares about the average person and works to improve the life of the average citizen and is not controlling and power hungry, then an authoritarian controlled nation (where the people have no say in their government) do have a chance at living a better life. Usually authoritarians are paranoid, controlling, suppress the masses and do not allow a free media. Dictatorship controlled nations live and die based around the personality of the ruler. This is a foolish form of governance that was the historical model. All power is resident within one person. Recent history has demonstrated that democracies (that are not corrupt) are the superior option. They thrive economically and the average person tends to live a better life.
Thanks for this very insightful video! And I’m praying for my people to have a good leader who can eliminate all these legacies and hope people to learn more to be more united and not to be so selfish to rebuild the nation again. It’s just a tiny little hope. But I’m still hoping 😢

Simple: one was a colony that was never allowed to develop its own national capabilities due to opium smuggling by the CIA and Taiwan (Myanmar).The other was never a colony and a very happy partner of the U.S. to conduct interference operations against its neighbours Myanmar, China, Cambodia, and Laos (Thailand).

True
And not only the US. Thailand made partnerships of various kinds with other colonial powers, especially Britain and France. Those two seemed happy to have Thailand as a buffer zone between each other. There were some conflicts, but somehow Thailand managed to keep everyone happy enough that they didn't escalate to invasion.
All the modern SEA countries were Western colonies at some point, with Thailand being the sole exception.
@@TaLeng2023 Thailand was also the sole surviving country that never fell to communist in mainland southeast Asia.

This is because the monarchs have been ruling the countries for generations and have thus gained political legitimacy.
