I didn't get that impression. Not written in or translated to Thai for one thing.
there is also a history of foreigners making it very large in Thailand.
Many Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Singaporeans, sure, already wealthy before coming to Thailand, or well-connected. Can you name any foreigners (generally construed as Europeans, Americans, Australians by Thais, i.e. farang) since the post-colonial period in SE Asia? Jim Thompson comes to mind, but even he didn't make it very large by the standards of the Thai wealthy.

This is meant primarily for Thai people, but there is also a history of foreigners making it very large in Thailand.
