» The Ashton Asoke Condo saga illustrates how things can go wrong in real estate development projects. For the consumer, it was a nightmare that the Supreme Administrative Court decided earlier this month that the condo which had been built a few years back and sold to them in the end lacked a proper entrance which meant its permit was revoked. For investors, it was a reversal in fortune, not to mention a PR disaster.

» Thailand revolutionised its political and administrative systems in 1932, well before China, which did not start until 1949. The shared drive for this revolution was the economic hardship of the populace. Both Thailand and China were poor nations. Their economy stagnated and was under the control of the privileged groups, the elite rulers in the case of Thailand, and the bourgeois in China. People in the countryside were left with economic plight and suffering. Initially, Thailand had taken a leap toward reform by changing into a constitutional monarchy following a coup led by Khana Ratsadon (the People's Party), supported by young military personnel and Thai students who graduated overseas, to spur economic development and improve the economic well-being of the public.
