Thais are free to choose their own path, free to choose their future- meaning endless opportunity to improve. meanwhile Thailand s neighbors did not have that choice to choose their own path.

Loved the article and the quick historical overview. It couldn't have come at a better time, I just came back from work travels to Thailand. This article helps understand why the citizens have deified their rulers. And the legacy of the dynasty continues, and is evident on the billboards, the naming of streets and localities, and the ambitious infrastructure projects.
