There's some rich Thais
The combined net worths of Thailand's top 10 billionaires account for around 25% of the nation's GDP, which is US$495 billion in 2022.
Not one is military, ( guess their wealth is not reported )
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: There's some rich Thais
Unsurprisingly, all ten are Chinese ethnicity.
I note that the King is not on the list.
His wealth is estimated at $30bn - $70bn.

Re: There's some rich Thais
I think a huge percentage of Thais are of Chinese ethnicity.

Re: There's some rich Thais
11 to 14 percent of Thais are ethnically Chinese.
Re: There's some rich Thais
What is the corresponding net worth of immigrants in America since 1945?
Re: There's some rich Thais
You didn't really answer the deliberately, racially-charged question. Perhaps you don't want to.
What percentage do the Chinese -Thai control?
Let's play your game in the US:
How much of the economy is controlled by various religious groups?
I bet you don't answer.

Re: There's some rich Thais
Yup. It's about rich Thais. I noted that the top ten are ethnically Chinese and that I was unsurprised. Equally in pre Pol Pot Cambodia, 90% of the economic activity was in the hands of the small Chinese minority. The top Oknhas are all Chinese today. Most traders and landlords I deal with personally are Chinese or part Chinese. Why? They get up early, work hard, bargain hard and take care of family business. Consistently!

Re: There's some rich Thais
Schlarry, you didn't even ask a question. You simply wrote an eroneous statement.
"I think a huge percentage of Thais are of Chinese ethnicity."
Then you go off on a US religious tangent.
But I'll humour you. The Catholic church is the biggest landowner in the US. Ethnically Indian families top the household income list. I'm guessing they're mostly Hindu.
Time for a herbal cigarette. You've brought my 4:20 threshold forward. I thank you for that.
