Your perceptions of Thailand are so wrong I can't help but wonder if
you've ever actually been there. Thai people are probably more loyal to
their country and culture than just about any other people on earth. It
is *NOT* at all common for Thai people to want to move to another
country. Some will because of circumstances. But even those long for a
return to Thailand. To say that Thai people "desperately want" to move
to a foreign country is absurd.
