- Thailand has been ruled by 100 families that descend mostly from the Thai nobility, or from powerfull Thai-Chinese business families. When the Thai nation state emerged, the nobility went into the state formations, while business was done by Chinese families, and the serfs or former slaves became farmers or workers. Thailand is one of the worlds most unequal countries, which has lead to perpetual social unrest after WWII, though it has been greatly helped by sex-driven tourism (at first, it’s now also a more traditional tourist destination), export oriented agriculture, and manufacturing re-assembly; particularly fuelled by the American investments to keep it away from the feared domino effect induced by Vietnam.
