    Sorry. HB's wife thinks she's a cartographer - I beg to differ.

    His Majesty has developed a rainmaking system, which they regularly use over this area. They don't seem to be using it much at the mo, though as we have an unseasonable amount of sun. Not that that bothers me - I hate rain!

    About 12 years ago I went to see a public official in Bangkok who apparently could verify a patent my company had lodged under the PCT agreement. He again was the only person in Thailand who could witness such a document and he initially refused our request. Did not believe that a Thai company could lodge a patent application.

    I don't know what the situation is today but what I do know is that Thailand is not a member of any international patent treaty. I54 other countries are.

    Historically Thais prefer to buy foreign know-how and patented technology and still have no self belief that they can do things themselves.

    Keeps me in a job I suppose

    OK, this is a bit of a stretch, but they invented their weird form of buddhism/animism/whateverism. Adapted for the Thai culture & needs.

    I've had similar disagreements with my Thai g/f.

    One notable occasion was when I made a remark that Auld Lang Syne wasn't Thai.

    She's still in complete denial about it.

    ^^And exactly what does she think Auld Lang Syne means in Thai? Most people don't even know what it means in colloquial Scots.

Her simple, rhetorical question, "what have Thai people invented?" Her own answer, "nothing."

    I don't know that this will get you off the hook -- it's dumb to argue with a thai any point that advocates Thaialnd is not the greatest country in the world -- but here's a few I found. None to write home about.

    120-kilogramme Front Bumper Beam
    Three-in-one Punch-Press Machine
    Press Transfer
    -- All used in auto manufacturing: 58 YEARS OF THE BANGKOK POST

    Combusto -- a fuel-saving electrolyte solution

    The "Smiling Coup" - http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.ph...=332&Itemid=31

    MUAY THAI Boxing by the way was NOT invented in Thailand, but India.

    Not much of a list, sorry.

    If I had 1k baht for every time she has gone to "sleep with the daughters" I'd be rich, some how its seen as punishment,whereas I see it as an opportunity for night out on the piss or all the bed to myself.

    Last time I went out and stayed at a mates place, didn't come home for 3 days, she doesn't do it that often now.

    This is a tough issue at times, even with loved ones of a different nationality.

    There could be inferences of being "lower" not as smart, etc.

    These are issues, that I do NOT get into. If I do get close to these issues, I cam very tactful.

    Some things, are better left unsaid. And BTW, she might even agree with you. You just don't have to vocalize it.
