    • Anonymous commented : e Glebova wants to be a Thai citizen and call Thailand her home makes me so happy and proud that my country can give joy, warmth and happiness to everyone who visits. While a lot of foreigners want to become Thai and live here, the locals are trying to divide the nation. It is sad that outsiders love our home more than we do. LUCKKANA S It is not uncommon for foreigners to get Thai citizenships without having to go through lengthy procedures as common in other countries. In fact, there are countless foreigners who had have obtained Thai citizenships without having to learn how to read and write Thai language and or appreciating Thai culture. Many of who have never contributed significantly to Siam and or Thailand. There are many foreigners who have contributed greatly to Thailand and to Thai culture like Joe Luise (the founder of Joe Luise Thai Puppet Theater) and many others. Even the supportively formal Chinese communists were granted Thai citizenships beside other formal antagonists of Thai governments. So it is not uncommon for someone to obtain instant Thai citizenship with or without the Royal Decree if these individual are doing and or bring somethings (money and other personal wealths) to enhance Thai economy and to help enrich Thai culture. Tiger Woods has dual citizenship and was granted honorary bachelor degree from a Thai university. Does he very care about Thai citizenship and the Thai honorary degree? Because somethings are given, it does not have the same values as somethings that are earned.
