Well the second one says that Thailand doesn't use the metric system. So that pretty much nullifies all the rest which i haven't got to yet!
Where do they find the people that do these? Kindergarten.

Thailand road signs in Kms/metre et al
Car speedos in kph
Petrol/gasoline in litres
Beer sold in ml
Screw/nuts and bolts metric
Car industry metric/

About the only thing that isn't is land measurement unit but they are loosely based on metric.

Oh and one says there is no bribery in the US when the capital is full of lobbyists! What do they do then?
