What make Thailand a third world country?
Thailand has plenty of food and drinking water Thailand has rich cultures Thailand has beautiful landscapes Thailand has peaceful livelihood Thailand full of happy people (Last year on Washinton Post addressed Thais is the top-5 most happiest world population) Thailand has producted so many naive and optimistic Thai girl like me **** Do you think high GDP means high living standard? Do you think have material things like 5 BMW and big mansions can make people happy? *** Now look at the richest nation on earth. Do you think American are happy with their way of life? Is big Mac a happy meal? How many Americans have money in their savings (excluded 401 K?) Look at Britney spears? Look at JFK? Look at Obama? Truth be told: Most of American have big house/car, but in so much debts 1 in 25 in houses in CA is in foreclosures. 9.5 trillion debt (Of course, the US government has borrowed money from the Third world nations like China and Brazil). Any feedback? Look at this question. Please American Dad --I love you and am not judging your spending :) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhwKgJdzqyaIlE817X4uCMjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080727063514AAcy1lO

i really dont see any reasonable reason for thailand to be a third world country. but hey you forgot to mention that thailand has beautiful girls too :P :P al what i can say is that higher power countries dont give the small ones even a chance to shine.
3 :
Measuring First/Third world countries is only based on economic infastructure and growth. It is NOT a measure of contentment with its citizens. Thailand does not have as stable and as strong an economy of infastructure as many nations in the first world, hence it's placing. It does not mean it's a bad country, or that it's people are unhappy, or that it isn't a wonderful place to visit. It's an objective look from a economic standpoint. The US is a first world country, with a supposedly high standard of living and many people are miserable; Canada to the north has a bit more content people, but same kind of economic position. Again it's a measure of economic development, not a reflection of its people.

Third World is a name given to nations that are generally considered to be underdeveloped economically during the 20th century. Here are some reasons why Thailand is a third world country http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/reader/reader291.html
6 :
what u have said is not enough to make a strong country, u will need a powerful economy with industries such as heavy equipment and automotive, you will need a powerful government who is ready to ensure the welfare of citizens and apply the law, you will need to have the laws respected and decrease corruption. PS: its true...Thai girls are very beautiful. Cheers
7 :
Please don't get mad as I like Thailand very much (I used to live there) and there are many good things about Thailand BUT 1) some people that have power in Thailand only care about themselves; they are not prepared to invest in a first class educational system that would be necessary to have people that can make Thailand a 'first world' country. I teach in a university in the first world and there are hardly any Thai students compared to the huge number that come from China - also the Chinese students study a lot more diligently than the Thai students who seem to spend most of their time with other Thai students cooking food for themselves and their friends and generally avoiding studying. 2) Thailand's culture places a great deal of importance on 'sanook'. If hard work gets in the way of sanook then sanook wins. Maybe this is OK in some ways but to be a first world country people have to be prepared to work really hard (as well as being educated). 3) Thai culture is quite fatalistic meaning people take the attitude that 'what will be will be'; karma. In a first world country people work to make their destiny and don't leave it to fate. 4) Thai people like to criticise people if they 'kit mak'. Unfortunately, to build a first world country and keep it as a first world country quite a lot of serious thinking is required in terms of planning and in Thailand thinking seriously about things is uncool. 5) Kon Thai chob gin kanom - I mean financial snacks. With so much corruption it is hard to invest in the economy to make it grow because so much money has to be spent to make politicans, police, army happy so they don't take away a businesses licence or make some other problem for business. 6) Thailand isn't a meritocracy - living in Thailand all about who you know - how can friends help you. All countries have some of this but in first world countries there is more opportunity for genuinely talented people to get to the top of society without being born into an important family. In a first world country people generally get jobs and are promoted based on merit/skill/talent rather because of who they know. 7) In Thailand the military is very powerful. A country can never be a first world country if the military is so strong that they can remove a democratically elected government. In Thailand we know they can and have done so in the last few years. Its a shame Thailand got rid of Thaksin, he might have been a bit naughty with some personal things but he was modernising Thailand quite well (and he was democratically elected which is a good sign for a country to progress). 8) Maybe you are not like this but many Thai people do not like to receive advice and suggestions from foreigners about the problems that they need to solve to become more successful. Rama V employed many foreigners to help modernise Thailand but nowdays the view of many is that the only people who should look at and discuss Thailand's problems are Thai people. Well you did ask.
8 :
The underdevelopment of the third world is marked by a number of common traits; distorted and highly dependent economies devoted to producing primary products for the developed world and to provide markets for their finished goods; traditional, rural social structures; high population growth; and widespread poverty. Thailand ranks 78 out of 175 on the Human Development Index. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, a developing, or an under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. You need to take a taxi to the slums of Bangkok and you'll see why Thailand is still third world, just remember the US (ranked 12th) is continuing to slip that way despite what jingoist might say

I'm sure you've heard the expression: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Brazil may be a fun place to visit, but I'm pretty sure that if you stayed there a while you would begin to see that there are more possibilities for you here in the U.S. So, go for that month and make it one in which you really look around and see if Brazil is all it's "cracked up to be" in your mind.

Do you think it was hard to predict that Bush fail US economy like he did in Business?
Do you think it was hard to predict that Bush fail US economy like he did in Business?
Strange coincidence that US economy is falling to the great recession ever recorded since the 1930s.Before he get elected many many people predicted this outcome but he successfully convince American voter to elect him. Why nobody try to stop his stupid decisions, his war spending that only profit a few.Now America is in debt for China, a country that United states use to help with food during famines.Every countries that Hollywood use to make fun of are now better economically. Putin's Russia is building supermarket in Siberia. They have an increasing middle class with a lot of money because of the climbing oil price.Mexican economy is expending with Argentina, Brazil.Even African countries making more money because of oil price and increase metal value.The Bush Era begin with repression of Hispanics, Dysneyification of New-york to make it look like a small city in Arkansas.Hispanics with their surviving skills were the biggest consumers who drive the economy. Mexican flooded U.S frontier since Reagan my friend.Nafta was started by Bush father, by the way.Clinton only replace Bush father to ratify Nafta treaty. I agree that world trade center catastrophe was a bad luck for the entry of Georges Bush. We can easily resume Bush regime from a catastrophe to another. It started with a catastrophe(911) and will end by another(First recession since the 1930s). They predict that this recession will be far worst than 1930 because in the 1930s the manufacture industry was 100% in America, not in China.People were poor but at least they work to forgetting they are hungry. I really hope a miracle will happen and the recession will not appear or would be short.This recession will mean a shift in geopolitic balance because Russia will lead a more important role because of its strong economy.China will be stronger than ever.

Bush did not pass the NAFTA treaty Clinton did and it opened the door for Chinese goods to flood our economy, it caused a lot of Mexicans to enter the country illegaly to feed their families. And the fall of the World Trade Center had a very negative effect on our economy. Yes Bush has made mistakes but he isn't the only one.

Politicians don't know squat about economics. They appoint those that tickle their particular ear the right way to positions of economic impact....and you feel what the concept of 'stupid' is. Clinton, Bush...what's the difference? Honestly, neither had a clue about economic and monetary policy. They don't impact it as much as those they appoint do. Bush is not responsible. The Fed IS. The dramatic manipulation of the interest rates after the dot com bust to avert recession encouraged the boom behavior we saw in the first part of the decade...that successor bubble is now bursting and we are feeling the effects. It's like a genealogy of bubbles. Don't blame the son without blaming the parent who created the son and raised him. The last bubble created the circumstances that allowed the current one to rise and then burst..such as this one will give rise to a possible next until our even greater currency bubble bursts. And then we will ALL have hell to pay...with dollars that are worthless. Don't blame the politicians insomuch as the policies that neither of the parties address. Economically, both Democrats and Republicans this election are alike and you can't vote for a change. Except that you vote for Ron Paul, may you see any change. He may be fringe on foreign policy, but he is DEAD ON in monetary and economic policy. That's the honest truth.

Every recession since the great depression gets milder and milder. As kids in grade school they teach us that the media always says we are headed for a great depression when the fact is we are far from it. If the recession that we will probably not have gets up the unemployement rate up to 25% like it was during the great depression then I would worry but the highest it would ever get would maybe be 6%.

What would be the cheaper travel option?
What would be the cheaper travel option?
So me and a friend of mine would like to take a year to travel around the world sort of in three years but we are concerned about getting the money. We are from Australia but we plan to go to new zealand, then bali, up through europe, then brazil, the bahamas, LA, canada and New York. But I was just wondering whether or not you think it would be cheaper for us to go with the two of us or take another 2 or 3 friends with us. Also any other suggestions on how to make the the trip cheaper would be great greatly appreciated :D Cheers

First rule: be flexible. If you have to be at a certain city on a certain day, chances are you are going to pay for it. Look for the last-second deals and go with the flow wherever you can. Second rule: connections, connections, connections. If you know a guy who has an aunt in NYC, then call him up and see if she'd be willing to let you board for a nominal fee. Also, don't be afraid of helping with chores. Third rule: pack light. If it doesn't fit in a backpack, don't bother. You can't afford baggage charges, and you cannot very well assume you are not going to be running/rushing/going nuts to try to get from point A to point B on the fly. Fourth rule: do not underestimate the in between areas. NYC is awesome, so are the Bahamas. But there are those little gems along the way that may prove a greater experience than you ever expected. This goes along with the whole idea of being flexible. Fifth rule: bring a phone with worldwide connectivity. You will have to be doing research on the fly. God forbid you end up in a hostel where you might wake up with a blade in your side and your possessions gone.

A group can save you some money buy renting or buying cars which gives you cheaper and more flexible travel in many parts of the world. You can also rent some accomodation cheaper. However the reality in backpacking is that people join up and split us as they move around, often you will join up with large groups for certain adventures and then split up to do exactly what you want by yourself. But really you just have to go.
