AN IDEAL OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THAILAND

Abstract

Thailand is considered to be more fortunate than most of her neighboring countries, especially Laos, Kampuchea, and Vietnam. She still remains socially and economically quite stable. Her people enjoy relative freedom to express and practice their religious beliefs. They have a king of whom they are proud and who gives them the feeling of moral security and the sense of national unity. They have one government and one land unalienated where people live their daily life with reasonable peace and order, or at least not with nerve-wrecking fears or nightmares. The Thais do not have to keep moving endlessly to no specific destination like those from Laos, Kampuchea, Vietnam, or Afghanistan. They can get up in the morning and go to work or to school as usual.
