    Liberalise lease laws

    News, Postbag, Published on 29/01/2016

    » An argument often heard in Thailand is that to extend leases or grant ownership rights to foreigners would betray sensitivity to the history of colonisation in Southeast Asia.

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.
